offers $1,000,000 to anyone who wants to go to Michigan for me
When? I might be able to cover for you, and no payment necessary, I'll take good vibes from the sunny west in trade.
"Hi, I'm the Canadian ambassador to Miraclebornia. The Empress has come down with a chronic case of Smiteyoumofos and I'm here so that you may live and continue to pay proper tribute in adoration to the Princess. I'd get on with the adoring if I were you."
Oooooh, I want JohnSweden to be the Canadian ambassador to my life.
Aimee, it will be good to see them.

I live in Utah. Michigan does not frighten me.
Oh goody! You all are going to Ypsilanti tonight. You'll be staying at my grandparents house and deal with my wreck of a mother, stoic to the point of creepy grandmother, and dying grandfather. Thank you for enabling my denial. If *I* don't go to Michigan, he'll get better.
Have fun!!

My sister, Em and I leave tonight at 10:30. BUH-LAH.
Someone's cell phone just went off in here. It played "Tusk." Being a library, everyone turned and glared silently. The librarian, whom you would expect to say, "Shush!" Instead replied, "Oh for the love of... This is a library. Please turn off all cell phones. In the case your phone does go off, please set the ring to a song that doesn't degrade humanity."
Way to kill the thread, babe.
t /speaking to myself
Woo hoo! Party in Ypsi TONIGHT BAYBEEEEEE!
We'll all dress up in corsets and pose next to the water tower.
I think we should all go to Ypsilanti. We'd confuse the hell out of everyone. It could be fun. And I'd get to escape the work sitting here staring me in the face.
My step-mother recently mailed a box to me containing all the research clippings and notes my dad had collected for a book. I wish she hadn't, as the way things get lost in the APO...but that's not the point. The point involves camels.
I have learned that there were camels in New Mexico at the turn of the (last) century. Apparently the Army imported a bunch of them, and a camel trainer, from Egypt, and set about using them instead of horses between Texas and California. This is mid-1800s. They were brilliant, but the Civil War happened and the project was cancelled, and the camels were released into the wild.
What really pinged my imagination was the Egyptian camel trainer, who left his home, came to the Territories, and never returned.
