Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?  

[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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Thanks to chattering here with meara last night, I realized, hey, I can board both the cats when I go to Seattle next week.

And then? Puppycat will be vaccinated finally (which makes sense with Kittenish coming and going now) and I can pay someone else to trim her talons.

Plus I won't have to worry about her going crazier alone with fireworks going off.

We've finished watching POTC2 from last night, and I should be packing for the beach now. We're headed down there for about a week. I can't wait!

Lovely day in New England! We went to the farmers market and bought a metric assload of strawberries. Will be making strawberry shortcake tonight!

This weekend we have no plans. Fantastic! I do need to clean the bathroom though.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Oooh. Farmers market and strawberry shortcake both sound very nice.

I noticed something yesterday. Many crosswalk signs in DC have a display that counts down how many seconds it will be until the "WALK" changes to "DONT WALK." It seems like the city is slowly adding the displays to all the crosswalk signs. The several crosswalks adjacent to the Gallaudet campus do not have the countdown displays. They do, however, have a feature that I've noticed on relatively few other crosswalk signs in the city: a high-pitched beeping noise when it's safe to walk. Huh?

Atlanta had a lot of those - I think it was a beep in one direction and a chirping noise (like birds) in the other. But there was a facility of some sort for the blind in that area. Can't see how it would be all that helpful at Gallaudet.

Our wings are not tired.

Mmmmmm stawberries.

Sounds like some exciting possibilities there, ND. I know you have worked hard for this success. Much ~ma

What is even happening?

Our little town added that chirping noise. I just heard it last night. It's to help blind pedestrians. There's no blind facility down town, but I still think it's kind of neat.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

My town has a lot of both - countdown and chirp/beeps. Plus the handicap ramp down to the crosswalk is all bumpy to show where the sidewalk transitions to street. We do not have a huge blind population here, but we are VERY vision impared friendly.

Context for those not from DC or otherwise aware - Gallaudet is a university for the deaf. So the chirping not so much with the helpful.
