Breaking News from Switzerland.

    Scholars from around the world gathered recently in Zurich to present papers, ask questions, answer questions, guzzle beer, ski on the endowment nickle and jog in a new country.  Their mission was to examine the "Hipneck " phenomenon.  Social scientists of every stripe are seeing this new trend as more than a trend. We could have a new generational label , like baby bomber or generation X. Here's their finding.
    The hipneck will clean his or her gun while listening to a Joni Mitchell record. A hipneck will have his kielbasa on a bed of organic arugula. A hipneck might fix his muffler with duct tape while wearing an undyed handknit  wool  accessory . My understanding is this all started ,where?  The Pacific Northwest. No surprise there.
   One  part hipster ,  one part redneck. Shaken not stirred.
