Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

I live in Danskos, Suzi. Highly recommended!

The prices scare me though, Kate. It just doesn't make any sense to rent a car when I go to SLC. The light rail takes me from the airport to a block from work and a block from the hotel and there are lots of restaurants in between. My normal walking shoes don't work with business attire, so I need to upgrade.

It is funny though, the project I work on would pay for a rental car each trip. And the cost for one visit would likely be the cost of a pair of Danskos.

The prices are high, but the shoes are definitely good value -- I wear mine day in, day out, and they hold up very well. (I also don't buy a lot of shoes, so I don't mind paying more for a decent pair when I need them.) I bought one pair in 2003 or 2004, and they lasted until my honeymoon in 2011 -- and even then, the only reason I had to dump them was that they had been so thoroughly damp for so long that they were starting to get moldy. Bought a replacement pair last year and I love them; like I said, I barely wear any other shoes. They're comfy, durable, and cute, and well worth the money I paid for them.

You could. But that would make you crazy with their wrong headedness.

Uh-oh, Pix. Walk away! It's not worth your time or sanity!

And speaking of walking away... I love you all, but I've chosen darkness bedtime.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What does the sentence "half the population was decimated" even supposed to mean??? Within context it's nu-decimation, but still--I can't tell if that means almost half the people died (MASSIVE) or like a quarter (pretty fucking bad, but not a half, you know). LANGUAGE. WORDS.

Suzi, double check the times that the rail runs, Utah has a weird relationship with public transit, as in it's believed that "those" people ride it and doesn't need to be convenient to normal people.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Aw. I wanted to ask how you were doing.
