You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
No, this is not a joke:
Dylan mentioned that Annabelle's getting one for Christmas:

Hey, Libkitty, don't suppose you happen to know a 50something couple named Julie and John, or her son, a nearly-30 fisherman named Aaron, do you?
Sorry Plei. I know Julies and Johns and Aarons, and lots of fishermen and fisherwomen, but not in this combination. Do you know where they fish? My cousins might know them.

I'm pretty sure Aaron fishes out of Juneau. He's the friend I was telling you about who is the reason I grew up thinking it was the scariest place in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD, what with the killer mosquitos and all. I'd have to ask my mother, who actually keeps track of these things.

Have a wonderful trip, ita!
This weekend I've got to grocery shop, laundry, make cookies, make some stupid salad or something and go to WORK PICNIC FROM HELL on sunday.
I don't wanna. I'm praying for rain. Doesn't look like I'm gonna get it.

Have a safe trip, ita. Watch out for the monkeys. They'll turn on ya.

My coworker's husband is a fisherman out of Juneau. I'll see if she knows them. She might. I sometimes think she knows everyone. I know a John and Julie in Juneau, but they're younger and I think they just fish for fun, not for profit.

I don't know if Julie and John fish. I know her ex, Leon did.
Come to think of it, now that they're older, I don't even know if Auntie Julie is *in* Juneau any more. She was just there for so long that that's where I autoplace her.

So Juneau is kinda like a much more northerly Las Cruces, NM?
I run into ex- or somehow related-to- Las Cruceans EVERYWHERE.
My first college roommate (small college) was from the Farm in TN, where the woman I first babysat for grew up.
I've run into people in airports (not going to or from LC) who had a connection there.
I ran into a tourist in Austria who retired there.
And of course, there's a connection via msbelle.
And it ain't that big.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Heh. LA Weekly reports on the reporting.
*********
Days into the crisis, Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Michael Brown was asked about all the people stuck at the Convention Center. When he replied that he’d just heard about it, I’d swear Ted Koppel’s toupee began growling. “Don’t you ever watch television?” the Nightline host snapped in disbelief.
...Far from being reassuring, the sinister-looking Homeland Security czar Michael Chertoff possessed the mediocre hauteur of a dinner theater Voldemort.
