I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Punishingly Intricate

She looks like she was REALLY enjoying that water treadmill.

She does! Hope everything goes smoothly and she's home and happy soon.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

And all my impressions of New Jersey are from Harold and Kumar.

It's pretty accurate, too.

Geography Quiz (just 'cuz I've got the Wiki page open):

Who can name five of the ten most populous cities in Africa? (I will note that I probably only would have gotten one or two.)

Hint: Cape Town is #11. Dakar is #14.

I mean, I've never even heard of the #3 city before. I feel like I need to study or watch more Carmen Sandiego.

“Not dead yet!”

Oh. Wait. Florida is associated with Golden Girls in my head. I'm convinced the whole place is a retirement community of wisecrackers.

Only certain parts of it.

Then there's the R.O.U.S. faction.

I don't believe they exist.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Johannesburg is not in the top ten. Nor is Tripoli.

Lagos is #1. (numbers 9 and 10 are also in Nigeria)

Cairo is #2.

Nairobi is #4.

Alexandria is #5.

C'mon Buffistas! Gimme one more in the top ten.

I'll give you a hint. You all know the name of #7.
