After not driving for so long, I'm reveling in getting to drive ALL THE PLACES. And give back just a fraction of that car karma. I'll never be able to repay it all.
Sounds good, Strix!
I'm going to send out a make-a-plan email in a little bit too.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I’m not going to need to pack an umbrella, am I?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
You'll only need an umbrella if you don't pack one.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I can loan you one if you do need it.

RALEIGH-DURHAM I WILL BE IN YOU TOMORROW NIGHT.
Do I need an umbrella? (I need to look at the weather; it JUST got cooler here...)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Strix, it looks pretty dry this week: 20% chance or so of a t-storm. We tend to get storms that come up quickly and go away just as quickly, as opposed to long steady rain, when conditions are like this.
Oh, as a heads-up, Raleigh-Durham only refers to the airport -- there's no such actual place, and people sometimes get a little goofy about the fact that you're in Durham, or Raleigh, or Carrboro, or whatever. Think Dallas-Fort Worth, where they share an airport but they're 45 minutes apart and wildly different culturally.

I was going to say Raleigh...but then I realized that it's kinda like saying "Kansas City" and amyth is picking me up, and I could end up in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill...DC, NYC, Montpelier...I don't know. Are there mountains? beaches? Bear? BADGERS? I'm excited!
Kinda like saying "I live in Prairie Village" and people are "Huh? Wherzat? A prairie? Are you Laura Ingalls Wilder? Do you live in a sod house?"
"KANSAS CITY."
"Oh!...Do you live in a sod house?"

Wait, sod house? And you didn't take me there?
(anyway, meant it as a local culture FYI, not to get passive-aggressive about it! And you can refer to the whole area as "the Triangle" if you need to.)

Ann, that's a ferret.
BADGERS?
You'll find Badgers in Wisconsin.

No sod houses, though. Although, my grandmother grew up in one in North Dakota.
