Stephen King used both "bathing suit" and "suntan lotion" in this week's EW column.
Athens is further north than San Francisco? Surprising.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Ooh. Interesting, flea! My ancestors were up in 55 and 53ish--Ireland and Denmark. I'm now just finally moved up to 47 (Seattle), which is suiting me much better than DC (38)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Interesting. My ancestors, at least as far back as I can trace, were pretty much all with a few degrees of 50. I've lived most of my life around 40.

My Irish ancestors are around the 50 degree mark, but my paternal grandfather came from way up north at 65 degrees (Sweden, at the top of the bay between Sweden and Finland).

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I grew up at 64°50′N, most of my great-grandparents came from around 52°31′N to 50°05′N, my grandparents settled (and my parents grew up) at 41°54′N, and now I live at 37°46′N (before, I was at 44°59′N). I don't think I could live this far south without the cooling influence of the Pacific. Also, I can (and do) burn, but usually I just get brown. Very brown.
I do find it hilarious that Fairbanks is the 11th city listed. Go Team Far North!!

New York and Madrid being the same is what always surprises me.

Does chicken-flavoured ramen count as chicken soup as far as being sick goes?

Chicago and Rome are at the same latitude, which surprised me. The summers can be similar, but the winters are soooo not!

Chicken Ramen for the Soul? I don't think so.
