Sorry, Cindy. That sounds like an awful situation.
Natter 74: Ready or Not
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I want to say the biggest, and if not that then certainly one of the biggest, historically documented earthquakes in North America was in Oklahoma. The Mississippi ran backwards. Big. Stay safe all y'all who were affected by this one.
I slept for almost 12 hours. My ear is sore from being mashed into the pillow. Still pretty groggy. I think this will be a quiet day of inactivity as much as possible.

My mistake. In my defense, neither one was a state at the time.
Random: The recent passing of Gene Wilder reminded me that Zoe's vet played Charlie in the movie Willy Wonka & and the Chocolate Factory. Peter Ostrum has been a vet in the Adirondacks for a long time and is beloved by pet owners in Otter Lake and surrounding areas. He mostly deals with horses and cattle, but Zoe has seen him a couple times when she was in for non-routine stuff. I had known his history from stories when he first opened the office in Otter Lake ages ago, but never discussed it with him because when I see him it is usually because my dog has our attention. It was his only film role. [link]
Oh, wow! I was just thinking about him, without really knowing anything about him or even remembering his name, just kind of wondering.
Milliliters/day is approximately equal to fluid ounces/month.
My big question for right now appears to be wine and then Diet Coke or Diet Coke and then wine? Maybe wine today and Diet Coke tomorrow. You're re-thinking whether you missed me while I was offline, aren't you?
Mid-west earthquakes are always surprising. I was in Memphis years ago where their was a small one caused by the New Madrid fault.
I'm posting a plea fro a bit of help from the Chicagoistas, if they're willing:
My daughter is finally scraping up the courage to make major changes in her life. She's going to be sending out her resume to salons in the Chicago area, so she's looking for reasonable digs in various areas that she finds acceptable with price, lifestyle, and safety. I'm hoping my Chicagoistas can give me a little advice on the following areas as to those criteria. This is the gist of what she copy and pasted into a text message, so the punctuation leaves a little to be desired:
Near south side has lots of condos. Affordable near museum park West town. Young and music hippy. Prices on the rise North center. Lots for adult entertainment. Near west side. Second most amenities.
If you can decipher that and possibly specify various neighborhoods, it would be greatly appreciated. She's hoping to keep expenses down, but thinks she could handle $1600/month. She'll be sharing with a cousin and they'd even do the one bedroom, make the living room the other, if that's what it takes. Alexia is at the top of her profession (she's completely outgrown the salon she's in and she's their best) and is currently bringing home $60-70k a year; I'm thinking she can probably make quite a bit more in the better salons in and around Chicago.

How exciting, Sail! Good luck to her.
