And also, my congressional district has apparently produced or hosted at some point in their lives the winners of almost one fifth the Nobel Prizes ever awarded. Weird.
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

My cat doesn't like tuna.
Is it dolphin-free?
Maybe he misses the piquant hint of dolphin.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's the "hosted at some point" bit that makes it not that surprising, knowing where you live.
Edit: Like that pot thing -- surely the greater Boston area has to have a remarkably high college student per capita rate, doesn't it? And who smokes more pot than college students?

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

Well yeah, good point. I mean, he says "lived, worked, or studied in" and, you know -- MIT and Harvard. So no, not a shocker. Still kind of nifty!

Nifty for sure!

Not so surprising near Harvard and M.I.T. as it would be if I discovered that about my congressional district.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My cat doesn't like tuna.
You know, I'm having some doubts as to this even being a cat. I'm starting to think "alien observer".
Years ago I read an article on the cat food industry industrial complex. Do you know what food cats prefer above all others? Cooked salmon.
Which is kinda weird, as before cats started hanging with us humans there probably wasn't much cooked salmon to be found, but there ya' go....

But now there is ... suspicious, isn't it?
I can hear the discussions now ("Fuck -- they've had fire forever! What's taking them so long?" "WHAT'S WITH THE COD??? DID I TELL YOU TO COOK COD???")
