Hey, my wardrobe used to be almost all lime green and black.
It's just today that I don't do it.
I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I have no idea what to call the green I'm wearing right now. Leaf? Eh, who cares.

I have very vivid memories of this. Yes.

Oh, Burrell, I sent you e to your profile addy a couple of days back. I suspect I was marked at spammy spam.
You did? I didn't get it. Stupid spam file. Eats up messages I want, but somehow lets buy.com flood my inbox with crap.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What's Evacuation Day?
I was just at a group meeting, and I'd say 7% of the attendees were conspicuously green. Including all the black people, which I kinda wondered about. If asked, the most I'll explain is "Scottish, not Irish."
Why is Toad telling me that the ASCII code for that character is BF when the content management app is displaying —?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Evacuation Day is when the British left Boston. Luckily, it happens to fall on a day many area residents would just as soon have off. And I think Somerville got grandfathered in, due to being part of Boston when it happened.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What is "BF"? Or is it literally "BF"? eta: Oh, Hex, Duh.
We recently had a problem where the data entry people typed up some descriptions in Word and then pasted them into Oracle. So of course Word replaces a dash with some other dash that's not one of the first 128 ASCII characters. It ended up messing up some of our XML.

¿. At least, that's how it shows up in the Toad interface, and when I display the field in hex it tells me the ASCII code is BF, but somehow the content management app knows to display an — instead. I can see if the Toad interface were mangling it, but it really should be reporting the right ASCII code.
Now I have to get someone with read/write access to the content management app to cut and paste the field contents from that to me so I can compare them to what I'm seeing raw from the database. This will mess with our migration.
Boss just said he's going to fight for my conversion from contract to permanent because of the good work I've done. Made my breath short. I wish him well. I know there are budgetary considerations that might get in the way.
