Dan in La Crosse

A Midwestern voice in the Midwest. Once I lived in China and was Dan in China, a Midwestern voice in the Far East. Now I live in La Crosse and am Dan in La Crosse, a Midwestern voice in the Midwest. How novel.

Superhighways for stick-stick walkers

Read this story in the NYT: http://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/10/international/asia/10ROAD.html?8hpib. It's about the explosion in road construction in China, with one problem: it's pedestrians carrying vegetables to market -- and not automobiles -- that are clogging the new, gilded roads. This phenomenon is one of the many beautiful contrasts in China, as skyscrapers rise and superhighways are paved, but a good majority of the people still live simple, agrarian lives. I freakin love it!
