Omnis, your driver sounds very amusing.
He was. The next pick up took over the conversation, nice fella, but not as amusing. The last guy hijacked the talk. Getting trained on claims adjuster in disaster area.
Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Seems if I shave it close on time, security is a hassle. If I show up early, I breeze right thru. Some kind of Murphy's Law corollory (sp?) I suppose.
Yeah, that sounds about right.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Zen, I like that idea. I'm guessing the weight of the motor and batteries would make it a pain in the back for baggage handlers, and a heavy bag surcharge.
Hmm. Schematics time. I need to discuss this with my engineer.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Googling around, Hil, I couldn't find a damn thing -- even all the baseball nostalgia people who sell tons of vintage minor league and Negro League shirts and hats don't have anything for the women's teams. There's even a New York Women's Baseball history website that's beautifully detailed and rich with everything you could ask for, including a CafePress store...that's completely empty. Grr.
I did discover two cool things, though: first, the Vintage Base Ball Association (basically, a mashup of baseball geekery and Faire/SCA culture) now has a women's division, with teams scattered around the country; and, second, the first women's college baseball team in the U.S.? Was at MY COLLEGE. Booyah! (And I love the name: The Resolutes.)

The baby that was wailing in my ear in the terminal is across the aisle. This is going to be a long flight. Dunno how you parents do it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Pix, can we all rally at Laga's Sunday evening? Hang out at her place?
All are welcome.

oh no. I hope the baby fell asleep by now.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Thanks, Barb! That website does have the hats from the league from the forties, but the team that I'm looking for was from an earlier league. I might get one of those if I can't find exactly what I'm looking for. They only have two teams available in cotton rather than wool, though.

Why am I watching My Girl? This movie always makes me sniffly.

Our wings are not tired.
Pleasant travels, o_a.
Yay on the house news, Barb.
I have to get my hair cut and go to the office to do some work. Then I have to go to Best Buy and get an outdoor security camera. Ah, teens. Maybe more on that later.
And I am compelled to catch up on about 700 posts in Natter that I just can't seem to skip. Y'all are funny.
