We're sitting on the couch last night and Jeff nonchalantly mentions that the new bachelor in the squadron went to K-State. To which I replied, "oh, great" because honestly, I'm decidedly not a K-State fan, supporter, sympathizer, etc. Not even here.
But then Jeff goes on to tell me that this new guy, Shulenberg, grew up in Linn County. LINN COUNTY! Now he has my attention. Especially when he says, "yeah, I mentioned the name Stites to him and he said that's the sheriff's last name" and "I think he's from Parker". Okay, back up. "There is no way this guy's from Parker", I say. Jeff says, "oh, you're right. But he knows where it is. He's grew up in Mound City."
For real! We're in OKINAWA and there's a guy from MOUND CITY in our squadron. Heck, he's even in our flight, which means Jeff is his flight commander. Craziness! Linn County is in the house! And for this, I can forgive his K-Statedness and will even have him over for dinner.
Just thought you'd want to know.

That's pretty funny. It's truly a small world, isn't it? We're probably related if you delve too far into it!
