lisah went to school in the same town as I did for college and now lives very near where I am sitting. msbelle's relatives worked in the schools when in my hometown when I was there and I think she actually lived there too (though not when I did...I don't think) and now the two of them have bizarre unlikely connections to podunk and this is all very strange. Because neither of you are quakers and that's usually the way my worlds get all tangled. Or prove to be tangled. And how didn't I meet y'all sooner?
The money was too good. I got stupid.

do y'all pronounce it refiurio?
HAH! I had a paragraph in my last post about that and deleted it because I figured you already knew. But, yes. Of course! My (very white) family has been there for like 150 years.

And how didn't I meet y'all sooner?
I KNOW! I love making connections like this. Small world!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

TORNADO WARNING FOR... NORTHWESTERN COOK COUNTY IN NORTHEAST ILLINOIS
That's just south of me! We've got lightning, thunder, but not much rain right now. Last Friday, I was heading into the Jewels and a huge liightning bolt hit a few miles away, with a deafening crack of thunder immediately following. I'm sure the cat was freaking out about that, but by the time I got home, she was OK, if hungry (as usual).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Looking at radar, I think it's gonna miss me. (It's a very intense but small storm system.)
I think I shall take a nap.
