Googling Goobertown

In June of 2002, I was driving through northeast Arkansas and passed through the small town (hamlet?) of Goobertown. I snapped this photo and posted a couple of lines here. I mention this only because a surprising number of people find there way to this blog from a Google search on "Goobertown." smays.com is in the top half dozen results (regardless of how you abbreviate the state of Arkansas).

Sometimes I think of this blog as taking on a life of its own. While I'm sleeping, my links are reaching out to other blogs and they're linking back and Google keeps it all going, 24/7.

Could we have a screenplay here? Maybe a short story? Blog becomes self-aware and starts posting on its own. The blogger (me) can no longer post but communicates with the blog via comments. And because the blog is connected to the world's store of information, it's really smart and starts giving the blogger tips on how to make the world safer ("There's going to be an attempted coup in Flanistan. Here's the email address of someone who can stop it.") Okay, pretty weak.

This might make a better blog and movie. Hmmm. Sounds like a lot of damned work. Never mind.
