I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

So, it's like you could have 10 houses in a row, but houses 1, 2 and 7 are on one fuse; house 3, 4 and 6 are another fuse, etc. And you can end up with patchy neighborhoods, where 10 out of 20 houses are served by the same substation, but the other 10 are served by another substation?

Because books.

We have a substation right across the street. At night when it's quiet you can hear the hum.

TJ's chicken pot pie is DISGUSTING. Why didn't you warn me? What a waste of four servings.

That is tragic. Next time get the smaller one in the green box.

Okay, I'm assuming that's not what you got in the first place, but I've certainly seen a larger family-style pot pie in the frozen section and it seems a lot more likely to be 4 servings. The one I've gotten is maybe 6 inches across.

I have to say (confess?) that I mind TJ's prepared foods extremely hit or miss.

I like Marie Callendar's chicken pot pies.

Ahrg. Foiled. 10 laps into my swim, they closed the pool because the lights lost power and it was too dark. Of course, I left work early (got in really early) and had I known this was going to happen, I would've gone up to Parkville. As it is, it is too late for me to go up there and get back in time. So I'm just frustrated.

Oh, god, Amy, those things are to die for. The only thing better are the ones in their restaurants.

Oh yeah. Marie Callendar's was the bomb when I was a kid. I can still taste their cornbread with honey-butter from memory. Those potpies were like crack to me. They also had some soups I liked.

Now I think I need to go make cornbread. I have the crockpot of chile verde for dinner and cornbread sounds like an excellent side to go with it.
