One of today’s poll questions involves clogging – figuring one or two people haven’t heard of it, here you go:
Clogging is a dance similar to Scottish Highland dancing – it’s mostly done in the mountains of Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee – the area where the Obama family is vacationing this weekend. It would be a great cultural exchange if he would give it a try.
Another popular activity in the mountains (also with Scottish roots) is “Playing the Spoons”. When you are in the hills with no electricity, no radio and no TV, you learn to make your own fun.
