The listings for my old place are stupid. It's calling an ice cream place a bar, there are tow major grocery stores that aren't listed and they miss a park which is about 100 feet away form my old house.
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

I have been informed that my lunch smells great, which I guess is a good thing because stinky lunches rank up there in common office pet peeves.
Of course, the person who told me this? Is the Loud Talker.

This is why they have warning signs around trucks carrying those bullet shaped gas canisters: [link]
Holy moly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sheeit.

Holy moly indeed. It occurs to me that I haven't heard about any manhole covers flying into the air, which usually happens in the summer. Maybe they got the problem fixed (ha! this is DC! they're celebrating getting the elevators at the main library fixed ... after, um, 10 years or so). Watch - it'll be on the news tonight!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Low 80s is very good, much higher than your average address, seriously.
Well, yeah, but Google apparently doesn't know about the Star Market (or whatever they're calling themselves these days) five minutes from my parents' house.

Gas explosions in Dallas on the news. With NYC, SF and now this I worry.
Eep. Hadn't made that connection, but now? APOCALYPSE!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Guess they don't count high probability of getting mugged or knifed while you walk against the score, either.
We got a 38, probably because they also don't consider the ease (or not) of crossing streets.

94 in my current place - probably would be higher because they have the park showing way farther away than it is.
83 for the new one, which is kind of higher than I expected.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
What is it with Texas and stuff blowing up, though? I swear, every time I turn on the Discovery Channel, it's about (a) Tenerife air disaster or (b) that shmuck in California who thought it would be clever to build a gas main right below a 15d grade or (c) massive explosions in Texas.
And, like, the first two, at least they only happened once each, right? (The second one sort of happened in stages, where, if you didn't get your house demolished by a crashing train, you got to see it blow up two weeks later.) But Texas seems to have massive explosions all the time.
