squirrel sighting
Which I learned from my cousin's visit can be a hysterically funny thing, especially given the sheer quantity of them and the fact that squirrel can be exceedingly hard to pronounce.
Fred: Oh my God! Angel, you're…cute! Angel: Fred, don't! Fred: Oh, but the little hands! And the hair! Angel: Hey! You're fired.

Thrive to spite them
I've found a product that claims to be the World's First Cellular Headset Preventing radiation from reaching your brain [link]
The pitch is "The WaveShield FR 4000/4001 not only gives you hands free communication to comply with state regulated laws, but als gives you the maxium protection from any harmful radiation reaching your brain."
This sounds like another Earth Pad rip off thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
msbelle, I've been talking about you and Mac to meatspace friends, and they're choking up almost as much as I do.
I wish I could be there...not to get in the way of your bonding...just to watch your face and his as you keep discovering things.

I need to go raid the outreach closet, I think.
Squirrels are truly very odd.

Squirrels are funny. So are subway rides, sometimes.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
squirrel can be exceedingly hard to pronounce
Harder than pronouncing écureuil ?
Aerospatiale had a helicopter model by that name. I knew it meant "squirrel," but never figured out how to pronounce it. I think it was a common problem -- they later re-named it the "A-Star" for the North American market.
