Medford? 781. Somerville, right nextdoor? 617? Boston 617? Quincy, on the other side of Boston, and further from Medford than from either Boston, or Somerville? 781. Goofy.

Of course, this is the state where Norfolk County is partly south of Suffolk County. Traditions make people do weird things.

I don't think I have ever valet parked in my life. I have disabused a couple of lifelong Angelenos that you can always get valet parking in, e.g., Washington, DC (where it is sometimes available, but more likely not), so apparently it varies widely.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Hi Nilly!

Ugh. I have no energy, at all. And I also had some very weird dreams, including one that had some Buffistas in it, but I can't remember what was going on in the dream except that we were all in a parking lot and I was trying to see if someone would give me a ride home.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

When I lived in Birmingham, MI they had valet parking at the supermarket. Free. Not something I ended up making use of, because it was just weird.

Oh, and the cover of the Seattle Times today is about LA and Seattle swapping weather: [link] The website doesn't have the same visual oomph as the paper, which gives you cherry blossoms and sunshine in Seattle right beside clouds of doom over the LA skyline.

We're under a burn ban. In February. Granted, it's for pollution rather than fire risk, but still.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

You want me to tape for you, ita?

Not ita, but yes. Pretty please?

Hi Nilly! Did you see the part where I am changing jobs and moving to Palo Alto?

My TiVo has accepted my recording request. I'm golden.

okay Lee. We got you covered; now, if we'll ever remember to bring the tape? separate issue.

Did you see the part where I am changing jobs and moving to Palo Alto?

No, I didn't! Congratulations! When? When did that happen? Does that mean you have to move? Details, please.

Up with the sun

I'm boggled by tommyrot's link -- both by the idea Koko has a sordid nipple fetish, and by the fact some of her keepers apparently decided to indulge it. I mean, even with a cat you can say, "just because you want it doesn't mean you're going to get it," so I'm sure a gorilla with a thousand-word vocabulary would grasp the concept. (if not the nipples.)

I needed to see that again ...
