So I'm now a minority. Y'all.

On my local news last night, I saw this story that discussed a program for minority students at Ohio State University, which now includes "Appalachian-American" as one of their represented minorities.

Founded in 1988, YSP is a comprehensive pre-collegiate and collegiate program designed to enhance the academic, personal, and career development of Young Scholars. The program strives to increase the number of low income students, including African American, Latino/Hispanic, Native American, and Appalachian students in their pursuit of a college degree.

That's just funny. Do you have to have proof, like a picture of your house with 17 dogs on the porch, or the rusting parts to 32 cars in your front lawn? Or a wedding picture on that glorious day that you married your brother (also your uncle)?

Speaking of Appalachian culture, Scott killed a deer yesterday:

He's such a cutie. I'll bet he's one of the few brilliant Ph.D. chemists that spends his free time in a tree - and the rest of his free time studying the Bible. Unique is what he is. One of the reasons I love him. :-)
