In 2008, could that have been people moving home?
Could be, but most people I know who planned on going home did so previously. People who settled in other places, settled.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, this story is gross (in an "oh teh humanity" way), but the police-report choices for how to describe someone are
fascinating.

Erin, he descended on Danae as a shower of gold ... ew, THAT brings up a nasty image. (yes, I am 12)
Ha! The other night, I was loopy on Ambien, and was telling The Boy how I had this image of all the good stuff in my life like a shower of gold glitter falling on me. Only I said "golden shower." He told me I should rethink that imagery.
So I told him he was the very best part of my golden shower.
t edit Because I, too, am 12.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Years ago I was watching a talk show on TV and the guest was talking about doing volunteer work at a phone center where people with, um, non-conventional sexual tastes could call for advice, help, emotional support, etc. On his first day he had someone call in talking about "water sports" and, as he was expounding the joys of sailing and swimming, the caller broke in and explained what he was talking about.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Speaking of being 12 ...
For the past two mornings, Emeline has run around the house yelling, "I WANT JACKSON BEAVER! I WANT JACKSON BEAVER!" and doesn't understand why Joe and I are giggling.

Now, why would a person volunteer for a phone center like that if they weren't at least familiar with definitions of stuff?
(Also? They need better orientation for the volunteers. "Here is your pamphlet. Activities are in alphabetical order and cross-referenced with body part.")

Maybe that's why the guy threw the dog - he was protesting their imaginary countries.
or it's probably a misspelling - Latvia? Lithuania? someone trying to combine the two?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
