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.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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.

Almare, I have deep, textually-based love for your librarian.
ETA: I'm sorry your family's going through such a rough period, Aimée. I'm sure that having you there will be very helpful, even for stoic folks who might not seem to need help.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
(No surprise here) But I wonder if the camels thrived or died out?

Perhaps they wander the desert in a happy band, scaring the heck out of drunken tourists searching for aliens.

There were apparently camel sightings into the 1900s.
