Department of Corrections

Hmm, maybe I should write more articles. Procrastinating has done wonders for my blog. This is the first time I've posted something only two days after posting something else. Hot damn!

A few errors that have now been rectified: Actually, it's only one error, but there are some updates. In my "Jesus Loves Me, This I Know" post, I spoke briefly of John Harris, the fellow whose only claim to fame appears to have been establishing the outpost known as Harrisburg, PA. As a fan calling herself "marcia" pointed out, I wrote that he "found Harrisburg in sixteen hundred and something." Well, "marcia" (is that your real name? Sounds a little sketchy to me!), John Harris did not, as you suggested, happen to be strolling along and find Harrisburg "sitting there being boring," as if he were some kind of grade-Z Magellan. At least, that I know of. Also, your question about Harris Savings Bank (now known as Sovereign Bank) is a fine one. I would wager that John Harris was the chicken and the bank one of his many eggs, along with John Harris High School and...uh, anything else named Harris, including the Burg itself. Does that answer your question?

As for the updates, I've included links to Harrisburg, Lancaster, Three Mile Island, and Philly's Main Line, among others. Why is it that whenever I discuss Pennsylvania with non-PAers, I feel like I'm trying to describe some remote mountain region of Nepal?

Anyway, back to work...
