Fitting in

=v= Acclimating to Nebraska means getting up to speed with seasons. There are seasons back in the Bay Area, of course, but they usually arrive with less hoopla. Apparently there's something here called "Huskers Season," which I got completely wrong, as I thought it involved harvesting corn. Well, live and learn.

I was clued in on the proper way to celebrate the Winter Season (which comes a few months early in these parts), so when the time came, I successfully participated in the annual Donning of the Union Suit. Naturally, I did this with the appropriate fanfare, courtesy of Billy Bragg (and his accent):

There's power in a factory, power in the land
Power in the 'ands of the worker
But it all comes to nothing if together we don't stand
There is power in a Union ... Suit

Yep, I'm finally starting to fit in here.
