letters from the wasteland

I live in Kankakee. It's about 60 miles south of Chicago and it's getting a lot closer to being a suburb than it really should be. Nobody actually knows what Kankakee means because it doesn't actually directly correlate to any other word. A quick Google or two told me that Kankakee can mean "low land", "swamp country", "wolf-land", or basically whatever you feel like you want the meaning to be. Kankakee is in a couple kind of famous songs that you probably haven't heard because it rhymes very easily and has a jaunty feel to it.

I think maybe I'm here to remind people that there is life outside of the IMSA bubble, and there is life post-IMSA, both things which are pretty easy to forget when you don't go home for a while. And I'll try and do that.

Enjoy your break.
