To those familiar with New York:
I had a conversation with a guy today who is not from the US and his English is very accented. He asked me to send some *very important* papers to:
150th Street, House #48, 87th Road, Jamaica, NY 11432
Does anyone know if a package addressed like that will make it?
(I tried google and it converted this address into something similar but different but I'd prefer to address as the client asked me to.)
A few of the tabloid papers this morning seemed to think Natasha Richardson had died already. Very sad.
To cheer up, I am watching LED-covered sheep playing pong.
Stephanie that looks like a valid address to me, but Jesse and msbelle are more familiar with Queens than I am.

Wow. Back in the day when shepherds had too much free time they'd...
...well, so this is better.
Wasn't it Liam Neeson in Love Actually who lost his wife. Knowing that his real wife may have died makes thoses scenes so poignant.
it looks to me like you have competing streets: 150th ST and 87th RD. I think it would have to be one or the other.

Oh DUH. Yes, I should have noticed that!
See, that's what I thought too. Google seems to think that means they live at 89-48 150th Street which is on 150th street right near 89th Avenue (not Road).
I thought maybe all NY addresses are weird and i just never knew it.
Argh.
I like the History Channel. But right now, God help me, I'm watching this thing on "Ancient Astronauts" featuring, of course, Erich "Occam Who?" von Daniken. Right now they're talking about the Antikythera Mechanism which, you know, is pretty awesome considering. But some bozo fucktard "respected scientist" just, no shit, espoused the theory that not only was this cool mysterious, but totally within the limits of human technology mechanism handed to us by Ancient Astronauts (Really? "Hey, we just came across light years in this fucking astounding spaceship and we would like to advance you little ape-men technologically. Behold our other-worldly gift: Gears!" "Ooooohhh....") but that its purpose was astrological predictions. Not "Mars will be such and so on April 4th" but "Pisces: Today is a good day to look at business prospects. A friendship is in peril because you keep talking about specious predictions handed to you by newspaper hacks and, possibly, ancient boxes full of gears."
How did these people get out of college? Seriously.

Heh -- weird, but not that weird!
