I'm familiar with the New Age vortexes out west. As explained by The Center for The New Age in Sedona, Arizona: "The energy of the vortexes interacts with whom or what a person is in their inner self. It resonates with and strengthens the Inner Being of each person who comes within about a quarter to a half mile of it."
But I was surprised to notice, while idly scanning the map one day, that Ohio is the Country Road Vortex capital of the USA.
Any big city will have a network of roads spreading from it like arteries on a bloodshot eyeball. But why do forgotten towns bypassed by the Interstate decades ago -- like Hillsboro, Wooster and Defiance, Ohio, centered in the maps here -- have a dozen or more roads converging on them? Is there something going on in the rural hinterland that is only now being revealed by Google's satellites?
Are the Canadians rustling our farmers, now that global warming has opened up the tundra to agriculture? Or are aliens throwing hayrides, fairs and barn dances, trying to lure trusting country folk onto their spaceships, to help populate some godforsaken planet even colder than Canada?
