Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, that would be awesome.

I can'T believe I'm googling airfare to Kathmandu.

This is one of the tours dad has looked into (pdf): [link]

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

sara! Totally awesome trip!

I love my theater peeps. A director friend of mine is already organizing a one-night-only, entirely-queer-cast reading of Merchant Of Venice on December 9th, with all donations going towards the fight against Prop 8. Bayistas, expect to receive tons of info.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

People! Educate me about Alabama. In a sea of red, there's an unbroken belt of counties, passing through Montgomery, that went for Obama, often by pretty big margins. Roughly the same band of counties went for Kerry and Gore as well. What distinguishes this band? Is there a higher proportion of African-Americans in this part of the state? (And if so, why such a neat horizontal strip?)

I have also learned today that Alabama has the longest Constitution in the world. So that's nice.

billy, it might also be NASA and pharma. Imports. I'm totally guessing, of course.

Hey, and if my flight went via Bangkok (some do) I could meet Fay. t boggles

We'll see.

NASA would be Huntsville and that's the extreme north of the state. That's a really interesting belt of blue, billy. Looks like you have a lot of the universities there-- Tuskeegee, and Auburn appear to be in that belt.

ETA: Not Tuscaloosa. Which, actually, would've surprised me.

Hey, is the belt along an interstate? I saw some interesting patterns relating to interstates on some electoral map somewhere.

“Not dead yet!”

Not really, sara-- only a little bit of I-85. But it does include the Selma-Montgomery route.

Isn't it? It's persistent, and quite strongly blue. And is in such stark contrast to the rest of the state.
