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...)
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

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

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

But where can you find lions? Only in Kenya.

Oh, no! Not what I meant at all.
And we try to steer people from the sod houses; no need to perpetuate a stereotype!
HONEY badgers, Fred Pete?
