Wow, Wolfram! It seems like yesterday you just had the last one!
Though I guess it was a while back now. It all kinda blurs.
Which isn't Seattle proper--I have no idea how close or far it is, but everyone talks of it like Seattle. I wrote down the address of the other place but am way too tired to find it now. On the morrow.
It's across the lake from Seattle. Mercer Island is in the middle of the lake.
The Bellevue store appears to be in or around Bell Square. You know, the one from Say Anything.
Lee, we might make it over there, if you're feeling a need to hit a Lush.
Did somebody sit next to you at the mall there, Plei?
Of course. Why wouldn't they?
Hmm. Looks like they've got one in Seattle proper.

Dangerous.
In my extremely regional cuisine, pickled jalepeños are a garnish, not an ingredient. Like...pickles. Or a sprig of parsely. And unpickled ones are rarely the pepper of choice. When there's Hatch chile to be had, jalepeños are a waste.
Adding to the growing compendium of Kuiper belt objects, astronomers have spotted two new moons orbiting Pluto. Observations with the Hubble Space Telescope from May of last year show two tiny dots revolving around the same center of gravity as the ninth planet and its largest moon, Charon. Reporting the finding today in Nature, the researchers speculate that the tiny companions formed in the same cataclysmic collision that produced Charon.
"We used Hubble's exceptional resolution to peer close to Pluto and pick out two small moons that had eluded detection for more than 75 years," says Hal Weaver, an astrophysicist at Johns Hopkins University and the discovery team leader. "That was somewhat surprising because ground-based observers had been trying for more than a decade to find new satellites around Pluto," adds astronomer Max Mutchler of the Space Telescope Science Institute, the first to see the moons in Hubble's images.

The moons have not been named yet. We should go on all the
Firefly
boards and start a petition to name one of them 'ita.'
I POSTED THOSE YESTERDAY. Sheesh. Skimmers.

I'm watching last night's "A Week of Dressing Dangerously". I really hate
Dawn's boyfriend.
Lee, we might make it over there, if you're feeling a need to hit a Lush.
Cool. We should probably make more plans other than "I'll be at the Marqueen Hotel starting late Friday night", but somehow nothing much comes to mind. Maybe if it's nice out we can hit the zoo or something.
eta: me too, sj, me too. Her family sucked too.
me too, sj, me too.
They redeemed themselves a bit at the end.
Congratulations, Wolfram! Your family, she is growing.
And god luck, Jen, on the continued recovery.
