Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This  

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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

So you were not the girl in the flatbed Ford?

I was not. I was the woman in the Dodge Grand Caravan full of rakes and bags of recycling. Doesn't scan as well.

Woot for work, Suela. That's funny about your Nemesis. Hope it goes smoothly going forward.

Ooh. I shall cross my fingers for Hawaii and continued lack of Nemesis.

I am ensconced in the same hotel I stayed in my first time in Portland, some seven years ago, when I decided it seemed like a cool place and maybe I should move here. Sniff. I miss those coworkers! The company we worked for no longer exists though.

Comcast/Xfinity is giving one week access to a lot of shows one would normally pay big bucks to access. I'm taking advantage of this to watch the first season of "True Detective". I remember seeing some discussion of "True Detective", but not where...

You know, I've never wondered what exactly a "flatbed Ford" is or looks like. I guessed it was a pickup truck?

I'm providing 'taxi service' to a friend who is training up in Manchester, for gas and a small remuneration, so there's lots of driving today and tomorrow. But, it turns out there's an LL Bean outlet right near there, so I'm going to see if they have any winter-time markdowns.

Thrive to spite them

A flatbed Ford is a pickup truck without sides or tailgate.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Maybe Premium, Typo? I don't recall there was a lot of discussion, but if you wanted to start some that would be the place.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

You know, I always imagined the girl sitting in the flat bed part, but probably, if she was slowing down to take a look at him, she was driving...

It was good to see ita posting again. Even though I missed her.

I just got a google alert for GRRM chockful of "Winds of Winter" April Fool's stories.

And I saw lovely gallery of photos of mammals from the Mammal Society's Mammal Photographer of the Year contest. (It's a UK society and the contest focused on UK mammals.)

BTW, are roe deer and white-tailed deer related species wise?

There was a picture of a roe deer in the gallery and the caption makes me think that the two species are similar.

Sorry about the double post.

And I'd actually read people upthread talking about how slow posting on the b.org has been. . . i.e, I should have known to not click again.
