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.
Huh. My city is third most diverse in the US and nearby Vallejo is #1. [link]
It's kinda the general sense that I have from just attending municipal events and grocery shopping and whatnot. I'm mostly surprised that our small population didn't disqualify us from counting as a bona fide city.
Also, to those who know of the Boothbay area, thanks for the wonderful picture you've painted. I love NJ, but living here isn't easy when trying to find an affordable place. And the NE is in my blood. I hope at the least the I get an interview, and then I can have an excuse to drive up, and bring my mum with me (she's been going on about the place for the last three years). It's the sad life of a gardener (busman's holidays, sort of, maybe backwards, I'm not sure. Something ironic.) in that when I finally get the chance to visit other gardens, it's the hottest, most miserable dead time of the year for blossoms and being outside.
I'm mostly excited about this place because of what it could mean for my mother. My god, she loves Maine. It was originally her plan to retire somewhere near Kennebunkport until the market swallowed up their stocks and they got stuck in their house.
-t! What are you doing the evening of 7/24? I will be all up in your general neighborhood. (Then Thursday night I have to drive to San Jose. Fun)
meara! I have no plans for 7/24. I should be off work by 4. Dinner? Drinks? Some combination thereof?
The drive from hereabouts to San Jose is not awful, if you don't have to do it with a lot of traffic. Not super quick, but not awful.
Sounds good -t! Profile address good?
Yup!
A car-sized sinkhole opened up in front of my house growing up. I remember hearing a weird scraping as a car went by, peering out my bedroom window and seeing the street looking swollen and lumpy and water gushing forth from cracks. A little while later, I'm out looking at it as the city trucks arrive, and there's a thump and with a great glug, a car sized swath of asphalt breaks free and sinks into this hole.
Once they got it all pumped out, the hole was about 10 feet deep. It took several dump trucks to refill once they repaired the main.
wretchedly humid around here today. Just checked the numbers. 29%. I will just die if I have to live in the normal world in the summer again.
Ha ha! It's apparently 70% humid here, and feels great! Because it's only 69 degrees.
80%. It's hard to tell what's sweat and what's condensation.
