I wonder if they're related to the actual Illinoisans who insist on pronouncing the "s" at and end of the state's name and have you heard how Goethe, Paulina and Devon are pronounced in Chicago?
I've mostly heard Goethe pronounced correctly around here.
Of course, Illinois also has treats like Cairo (KAY-ro) and DeZ Plainz to trip up the unwary. Or edumacated.
Good luck with the power staying on Cashmere.
My lunch is a steak sandwich, should be tasty.
This morning was a big morning, our daughter has her first day of public school at a brand new school. There was a rocky start as we arrived at the bus stop early and yet no bus ever showed up, but I managed to get her there in time. She's pretty excited by it all.
Okay, I'm hungry. I'm having lunch, and you can't stop me.
Oh, that's exciting, Gud. How's your wife doing?
I might get Thai for lunch. There's a post office dropbox on the way, and I need to mail some stuff.

She has mixed feelings about it. Our son starts homeschooling now as well, so I think she is relieved to only deal with one at a time. The plan is that he will go to public school next year and I think my wife is looking forward to having gardening time.
I imagine pork from flying pigs would have less white meat....
Wings are dark meat? I've never thought about it.
I've deliberately made myself late by taking two naps this morning. I guess I should get my ass moving.
I hope your daughter has a great first day, Gud.

Well, that all sounds exciting!
Wings are dark meat? I've never thought about it.
Dark meat is dark because it has a lot of extra blood vessels. Birds that fly need the extra blood vessels because of the high oxygen usage of muscles involved in flight.
Chickens can typically fly a short distance, but then their flying muscles can't maintain the exertion due to inadequate amount of oxygen supplied by their "white meat."
Good luck to Gud's little angel!

Don't forget Marseilles (not mar-SAY, but mar-SAILS).
Cairo is always the best way to spot a non-local.
