Most places have direct flights to Atlanta. Fortunately. Not New Orleans, but alas.
It'll still be desert, so the climate is supposedly kind of similar. But I crave the sunlight.
Also, it has Trader Joe's. Muahahaha.
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Not New Orleans,
Really?! That seems strange. They're not that far apart and they're two major metropolises in the South. Are they snubbing each other?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It is my experience that in books written by white people, only white people's race isn't mentioned, generally. If that was your question.
I've read books by white people, so no, that's not what I'm asking. I'm asking about being white, which is something I know a lot less about.
My boss (Indian) said "But you're not like [the woman at work I went to high school with]". I actually said "We only went to school together. That doesn't make us similar." Apparently his schtick with her is that she's married someone with an Italian last name, so he had spoken to her on the phone and really definitely thought she was white, because she was Italian. She gets that a lot, and said boss, upon seeing her in person the first time said "But I thought..." to which I howled with laughter before he finished the sentence. In case stuff needs to be drilled home, her skin tone is dark chocolate.
No one's ever told me they thought I was white after hearing my voice, though.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Airline hubs, like the honey badger, don't give a shit.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
My uncle and uncle-in-law lived in ABQ and really enjoyed it. Met there even. I believe they still have quite a few friends there and visit. If you want recs, info, tips and tricks.
I loved visiting them. I've thought that ABQ could be an interesting place to live.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I approve of the existence of Albuquerque, as it's one of the very few places in the US that can give our place names a run for their money.

People who live there must get tired of left turn jokes, right? I mean, you still have to make them.
