Our local hospital has pneumatic tubes even in the newer sections.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My dream home has pneumatic tubes.
I want cake and pie delivered from the fridge to the couch in my living room via pneumatic tubes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That article was awesome -- and really, so right in so many ways. I'm sad we don't eat GIGANTIC PRODUCE, though.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
New York City began using pneumatic tubes in 1897.... By 1898 the system connected twenty-one local post offices in Manhattan to the main post office. As late as 1914, 30 percent of first-class letters sent through the city's main post office were transmitted by pneumatic tube.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Talk in Utah has already turned to "If those students had been carrying guns, they could have saved themselves! A professor could have shot the guy!" I try not to let my neighbors nauseate me.
If it weren't Utah, I'd be guessing you lived next to my family. Feh. I hate it when they try to turn this into "well, iffin they had guns..." arguments. Because it always turns that way with (some, not all of) my family.
Mandalit del Barco, Lakshmi Singh, Ofeibea Quist-Arcton, Snigdha Prakash. I love how they say their names, but seeing them written out is weird.
I have insane love for these names.

Bella bands come in all sorts of pretty colors, as well as black. I've found black stuff for Liv in the strangest places (black tanks at Old Navy, for instance).

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I wouldn't say no to a cabana boy in a pneumatic tube.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Some of us want the cabana boys delivered by pneumatic tubes.
