I just finished reading All of a Kind Family to Casper. She LOOOOOVED it.
I'm tempted to dig mine out and read them again today. LOVE.

As an agnostic, it's all just "religions" to me.
It's all just "mythology" to me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I see Tino slept through Monday and woke up thinking today was his day to get cracking. The quick blood draw I took my dad in for this morning involved a 2 1/2 hour stay in the waiting room, the Chinese restaurant where I was going to buy steamed rice for my leftovers has closed to change locations, and when I defaulted to getting a sandwich at a local grill on the way to work they miraculously produced some mayonnaise to smear on my hold-the-mayo BLT despite the woman at the counter telling me they were out of it anyway.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Speaking of headlines that seem like jokes, a guy exposed himself to an employee at the school for the blind here. Apparently the employee was not blind, though... [link]

I'm also surprised that MA was so low on the list, but I assume that's partially because the roads are too congested for bad drivers to get up to speed. Tho', if you look at the stats in each slide, they were also rating the states in terms of where it placed in drunk driving, speeding, and moving violations, and even then MA did pretty decently.
Just goes to show you that aggressive driving isn't the same thing as dangerous driving.

They're both "tare" to me. I think. But my head voice is different from my mouth voice, I've discovered.
What about their plurals?

So I got 100% on that quiz, but frankly that last one was a bit of a guess since I'd never heard of the First Great Awakening before. I just assumed it had to predate Billy Graham.
