Ru is a shortened form of the word Guru. It was initially a derogatory term, coined by the "townies" of Fairfield Iowa, and used to refer the members of the Transcendental Meditation community. It has since been taken on by Rues, particularly second generation Rues, like me, as a way to describe ourselves. It has come to mean a person who practices TM and participates in the TM Movement, regardless of where they live. See Ru Stuff links for more info.
Our affectionate name for the town I grew up in. It's surrounded by cornfields and full of software start-ups. I head there tomorrow too early to mention. Must check-in on-line and finish last minute errands.
