Legit there is a place in my mother's home village that I grew up hearing referred to as "Where Betty Mraz saw the cougar."
This made me laugh.
So my car was broken into (or rather, I may have left it unlocked in a migraine haze) and all my registration info was left scattered about in the car. Do I need to worry about someone trying to do something with my name & address?

They don't sound like those kind of thieves. Or that organized.
I echo David.
Hi Karl. We heart you, too.
The "use landmarks that no longer exist" thing is one that I have encountered pretty much every time I move. "You know where the tire store used to be?" No, no I do not.
My mother once gave someone directions that included, "Turn where the tree used to be."
Timelies all!
We're at WorldCon. Mr. S has been a devil child today. With luck, he'll calm down a bit, so the whole weekend isn't like today.
Oh, and Gary and I were 47 when Mr. S was born.
How do you find it, Sheryl? Compared to if you were younger? (Not that I am likely to have any children at 40-whatever, never mind magically having one younger!) I fell like a heck of a lot of my friends had kids in their very late 30s, but don't know too many older with young kids
A coworker of mine married her second husband at 49 and had two kids after age 50. He adopted her two teenagers and they're all very happy. He is a decade younger than she is; maybe that helps. Me, I can't even fathom living that life.
Good thing everyone isn't like me, the species would go extinct.
And, Hi, Karl! Always good to see your pixels.
The rural community I grew up in had local directions like "turn where the old Pryor house was" and "if you hit the river you went too far."
Good thing everyone isn't like me, the species would go extinct.
I hear that. "Oh, you'd make such a great mother!" Yeah, but littles don't come with a return policy.
"if you hit the river you went too far."
Well, in general, if you hit a river, you've probably made an error somewhere.
