We're heading to Indiana for the Bluffton Street Fair. Tis a big deal in DH's hometown and loads of fair type food. On sticks.
There's a lemon shake up out there with my name on it.
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

Oh my total god I could write you that.
A really big part of the problem is that the air traffic control system in the US is scarily out of date.
The company that is [bidding on|doing|hopes to do] the redesign of the ATC system is in Cambridge, and recruited employees with, among other things, ads in the T asking, "Ever try to redesign something from the ground up? While it's still working?"
I think the other problem with US flying is that it's a really big country, all controlled by one system. In France, you not only have fewer flights to fewer destinations of shorter distances, it's also a small enough country that if it's raining fit to beat the band in Lyons, it's probably raining in a bunch of the other cities of France too.
Whereas, in this country, a thunderstorm in Ohio causes a cascade-failure so that people in Florida get delayed, and it's like "Oh no, you are doing that just to fuck with me, right?"

I desperately need new glasses and remembered, hey, I actually have vision insurance and the place I go to is in network! I'm trying to figure out my face type and what frames would look best on me.
I am taking suggestions!

I have to say, I just love saying the word "Walloon".My advisory today got into a hysterical conversation about the "Whalphin" that one of the girls said she swam with in Hawaii. No idea if a Whalphin actually exists, but I really enjoyed saying the word.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The reason the ATC system hasn't been updated, apparently, is because the airlines want private fliers to pay more than they have been for maintenance. Hard to figure out who to sympathize with there.

bad baby names - I know a Richard Grippi and a Richard Small. Guess which diminutive they both choose to go by? Yep, Dick.
