Quotation of the Day for July 13, 2010



"In the autumn, we attended football games at nearby high schools. We followed tiny Olathe High through a state-championship season, and we went to the victory parade that was held on Olathe's main street. The players rode atop fire trucks to the end of the road, where they did a U-turn and came back, so everybody in town had a chance to cheer twice."

- Peter Hessler, from Go West: Scenes from an American Homecoming, The New Yorker, April 19, 2010.
