Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I am on vacation!

Of course, I still need to clean the house, do some gardening I didn't get to this weekend, take Dita to the vet, go into the office to get a flu shot, decide what to pack, do laundry, get a check in the mail to my sister, possible buy new pants, shave my legs, clean out the fridge, and do a bunch of other stuff I am forgetting.

But I am on vacation. WHOOO

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Of course many forms of preferential voting, especially PR, would make partisan redistricting less effective.

Trust my rage

I find it interesting that a state gets its EC total by adding its representatives plus senators this evolving how it gives small states a greater proportional representation. (Although there are three extra and I can't remember where they come from? I'm sure someone does...)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Zen, I fly out of Dulles all the time, and it's not super-complicated. You do have to allow a lot of time though, as the terminals are a ways from the main building.

Thank you, Raq! That's the main thing I needed to know, though I didn't realize it - it means a lot of walking, which means I don't take a heavy or bulky carry-on, which means I check a larger suitcase.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

District of Columbia. They have no Congressional representation, but are treated as a single-electorate state for EC purposes.
