That map is interesting, but doesn't really tell the whole story. My county, for example includes part of but not the whole Navajo Nation, whose unemployment rate is something like 50%.

I bet he wouldn't like my childhood alphabet, which reversed the direction of the curve on the bottom of the g's and other letters like that. I don't know why.

billytea - when you are around again, Mo Willems wrote a children's book for you. It's called "Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed" and it is currently Emeline's favorite bedtime book. Last night she eschewed "Madeline" for "NAKED MOLE RAT, MOMMA!"

What is this hand writing you are talking about? Are you saying there is a way of making letters without a keyboard?

Gud, there's this thing where you can carve the letters backwards on a piece of lead, and then stamp them on a piece of paper.

Did something weird just happen to Apocalypse?

It apparently... doubled. Like we needed that much apocalypse!

(Anyway, it's been reported in BBABB)

3536 new Apocalypse posts? Run! Hide the children!

Okay, so it wasn't just me clicking the wrong button, somehow.

Man. The page that came up for me included Vortex announcing a trip to Chicago for the weekend and I got all excited. This week has been stressy enough without even the b.org messing with my head.

For a second I was worried what had happened to everyone, then I saw something regarding me and thought, "Uh oh, a glimpse to the future maybe?"
