Have a safe trip, ita. Watch out for the monkeys. They'll turn on ya.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Crap. I get home and find my computer stone. cold. dead. I won't be able to get it fixed until next week.

That's really annoying. Maybe do some chants (that don't involve the word fuck. I try that all the time and it doesn't seem to do anything) and wave at it?
OK, I'm either hearing an old stash of a handful of firecrackers or gunfire. Iiinteresting.

What is even happening?
You're not teasing us, are you Tom?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That sucks, Tom.
I want this day to go ahead and end already, since I don't have anything to do here, and home is where the slounge is.
