The Small Wonder

This is my 100th time checking in on this walking project, and today it finds us marching into Wilmington, which is not in fact the capital of Delaware, as i once learned by losing a stupid bet.

Speaking of stupid, here's me the last time i was in Delaware. I'm playing in a cardboard box next to the highway, wearing a "shredder" shirt with my hat on sideways. What did you do when you were nineteen?


Last month, a nineteen year old named Andrew Brush won a City Counsel seat in Delaware, Ohio. But i suppose that doesn't count. We never went to Ohio. And he only needed 300 votes. Whatever, Andrew. Wilmington, Delaware goes by three nicknames. Can you pick the one that actually doesn't exist?

a) the chemical capital of the world
b) the corporate capital of the world
c) the credit card capital of the world
d) the capital of the universe

Judging by those first three, Wilmington sounds pretty darn important. Which is funny, because, the only time i've ever had to stop there was to get more gas pumped into my greyhound, and to urinate. But, you know. It happens.
