My car isn't great at pronouncing things correctly. It pronounced Touhy (the street) as TAU-hee (rhymes with COW-hee). It's actually pronounced TOO-ee.
Yeah, mine doesn't do too well either. It still pronounces "Lemnos" as "VROOM".

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I really wish I could afford a trip somewhere. I was longing to go to NYC this AM.
Yeah, I have one long-weekend trip planned, but that's about it. I can't decide if a week at home is better than five long weekends at home, you know?
I've been thinking about road-tripping later this summer. I'm possibly going camping with some friends in North Carolina, and I'll be in DC the week before, so I'm thinking about driving down there, stopping at Williamsburg and a few other places along the way, and then driving back through the mountains. I found out that there's a vegan B&B in the town where the Waltons lived, so I'm definitely thinking about staying there.
So I read this post about a man who was asked to leave a bookstore because a female shopper complained about him being in the children's section.
So, I was reading the post, nodding along, and then the fourth sentence from the end. It's like the rant carried the person away and what was logic before evaporated into the ether.
Regardless, judging from name alone, I don't think it was only gender that made the person "suspicious" if you catch my drift.
Oh yeah, brown AND male?? Trouble.

FYI, if you want to try to catch the Venus thing today, there's some sort of app so that you can safely watch through your phone.
Boss and whole leadership team are off on a bus trip to the Texas plants. YAY. should be a quiet day for me to catch up on a bunch.
Right now I am taking a moment to unsubscribe from a dozen or so emails I constantly get. I have no time to travel and little money to buy, so all the offer emails are useless.
I think we may have a Dalek lurking here:
