Connie! The package came today! And it is awesome! Did you have it in your house before sending it? Because Kato sniffed it thoroughly, and I was wondering if he was smelling the kitties.
Anyway -- and most importantly -- THANK YOU!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think my signature may be more useless than most when it comes to validation. It's all about how soon I get bored or tired. It's all over the place, seventeen different sizes and angularity and number of letters in my surname. I doubt there's a pattern except at the most grand level, maybe decades.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
After college I traveled all over Europe on travelers checks.
One place made me sign one check 13 times -- I finally pulled out my other to prove to them that my signatures DO NOT Match. it usually consists of first initial, middle initial , last initial and then some lumps. Sometimes.

used to hate travellers checks as a cashier. I was like- I am a 15 year old making $3.35/hour, not a handwriting expert!

Because books.
I remember traveler's checks! I always hated them, too. And looking up credit card numbers in the little book that came once a month of stolen or bad numbers.

Oh, god--people who've used traveller''s cheques are old, aren't wethey?
Lord, I'm embarrassed to ask, but--who's the black guy in the class in Larry Crowne? I swear, they just named EVERYONE else in the cast but him, and the IMDB page is not giving any secrets away.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Know what's more awesome than a leaking water heater? A leaking water heater that leaks into the bag taped to the side of the water heater, which contains the MANUAL for the leaking water heater.

Yay for ultra-swift packages! It was in the house for only a day or so, but it came from a local thrift store. God knows what smells there are.
edit: And the cobbled-together box was the post office clerk's idea, she said "Priority mail will be cheaper because it includes the cost of the box. Oh, we don't have one tall enough. We'll make one!"

I didn't think that box was standard...
But still! SO COOL! And Kato loved ALL THE SMELLS! So! Many! New! Smells! Tim shops at thrift stores about 75% of the time, so Kato is accustomed to Random Thrift Store Smells.
I don't know what to put in it. Must ponder.
