Word of the day: zeitgeist\TSYTE-ghyste\ noun: Often capitalized: the general intellectual, moral, and cultural climate of an era.
This morning at 6:30 as I was driving up Embassy Row (Massachussetts Avenue, NW) as I approached the Vice President's mansion/National Observatory the Veep himself in his motorcade was exiting the grounds. I suppose he was heading over to see George and debate how best to discuss with the media his shooting his buddy over the weekend on the bird hunt.
On another note, I read in today's Bristol Herald Courier online where Tennessee Eastman (Eastman Chemical) was planning to hire 2000+ empolyees over the next few years. They seem to be having problems recruiting professionals because of the zeitgeist of the Tri-Cities, TN/VA region. They cited candidates declining jobs because of their being underwhelmed or at minimum unimpressed with housing, schools, and safety of the region.
