Just never Winnetka.You've probably gone through it a lot. There are a few exits for it off of the 101.
I only remember the name because my mom grew up in Winnetka near Chicago. It stuck in my brain.
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

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

That's why my sister also noticed it on the map! Well, she recognized the name of the town from Illinois, not that we grew up there.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I can't work out why I haven't heard of it either. I grew up here. But my DH knows the name, so clearly he's more plugged in than I am.

Raq's technically DC. Northern of DC, of course.
I think that Raq's in Fairfax, which is Virginia, south of DC. Fred Pete is also in Northern VA. I am as well, but not for long. Soon, I am in DC (basically 20 minutes north in good traffic). MFNLaw is in Frederick, MD, and of course meara and beej are in DC. I'm probably forgetting someone(s), since it's 3AM

so I have a functioning computer here at home again (power surges, fried power supplies, sturm und drang etc.). A dear friend handed down a computer that's far too wimpy for his needs--bless the power-gamers, for they shall get tired of merely speedy computers--and we put in my hard drives.
But, oh, god, the angst. I start working on it, and Hubby gets this sour look on his face that says, "No, no, you work on it, you're just going to fuck it up, but I'll be a good Hubby and keep my mouth shut." I've spent several of the last years doing computer tech support for a living, but Hubby always acts like I don't know a computer mouse from Mickey Mouse. I wonder if it's some weird macho thing of "my woman can't know more about a technical subject than I do."
But it works, and the video card is better, and I'm happy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This explains the oddness of your timestamp. You could always go out with a bucket of water and 'convince' them to vacate the immediate location....
I don't have much but consciousness going for me this morning. That doesn't seem like a whole lot, though.

I had a long weird dream. The only part I remember is that I was trying to use an ATM to get $60 that I owed some mobster friends of mine (for my share of the dinner bill or something), and I couldn't get the ATM to work because I couldn't find the 'Enter' button. I asked the storekeeper how to use it and he refused to help me, saying he knew all about me and the stuff I had done. Apparently I had bounced a check or something. I kept on telling him I didn't know what he was talking about.
Later I came back to try the ATM again. The head mobster guy was with me. When the storekeeper saw that we were friends he got all apologetic for not helping me earlier.
