Along what kinds of streets? And how densely?

Along the freeways and major commuter roads. They're not that dense, I guess, a block or so between them.

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

Along the [...] major commuter roads.

Like about this [link] neighbourhood? Or this [link] ?

I did go skydiving! A couple weeks ago, so unrelated to the plane I was not on last night. It was...uh...well, I'm afraid of heights. So, scary. I disliked the free fall part (too windy! Too cold! Couldn't breathe! Scary!) but the part once he pulled the parachute was ok. My coworker liked the free fall part better, so who knows.

I think "too residential" was complained about between those spots on Santa Monica.

It's true! [link] -- it is clearly a trend I've been missing out on. She mentions justifying the cost of her hat, but is $48 expensive for that?

I've started watching Vicious, and this last episode mentioned socialising with Judi Dench. My sister swears I've been to dinner at her house, but...I would remember that. But if she went, and my parents went, it would be weird to leave me (14 or so) at home, right? Especially since I was a fan. And why would I forget that?

My poor brain. So abused.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

If you dined at Judi Dench's I do hope you remember. Or at the least make up a plausible story to start telling about it.

Hey Kat, I made those no bake cookies you posted (the site calls them "energy bars" but that's code for cookie, right?). Kids and I both proclaim them tasty, and I deem them acceptable for lunches, so score! Thanks for the share.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

...the part once he pulled the parachute....

How forceful was the 'chute opening? ISTR ita has neck/vertebrae/disk issues.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Yeah, the neck issue might be a problem. I suppose you could wear a cervical collar.

I'm just seeing by The Facebook that Robin Williams has died, suspected suicide. If it's a hoax, it's caught just about all the major news outlets.

I'm seeing news that Robin Williams has died. Don't think it's a twitter hoax.

ETA: x-posted with Theodosia. Usually twitter hoaxes aren't backed up by major pubs.

It's in the LA Times with a statement from his publicist, so that would be one heck of a hoax.
