Guess how Devon is pronounced here.
I know that one! Also Goethe.
I am too tired to think about interviewing and updating my internal resume and changing roles. But I will express interest to get the ball rolling.
I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

My mom's had a little sunrise plaque with a Goethe quote on the wall of our/their bathroom from before I can remember, but I only learned I was mispronouncing the name when I took high school German.

Goethe doesn't not rhyme with Goatse.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Couch St in Portland is one I like.
I was guessing Dana might be in a situation like the Muses in New Orleans, but I guess not or that story would be longer.
Of course, it had to be pointed out to me how ridiculous it is to pronounce the L's in Vallejo all Anglo but the J as an h-sound because I'm so used to it. Always a little anxious about saying Putah Creek, though. Can't get used to that one.

When I did news clipping work but with listening to various radio programs, there was one Eastern US show that consistently pronounced Mojave as "Mo-jave." I've seen several older maps that just gave up and spelled in Mohave (I don't know how to do the cool accented e."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Nothing that fun, unfortunately.

I live on a number street now. How does Chicago pronounce Goethe?! I know Devon...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would also like to understand Devon and Goethe. In trade, I'm happy to pronounce Concord, Peabody, and other New England place names for you.
Of course, it had to be pointed out to me how ridiculous it is to pronounce the L's in Vallejo all Anglo but the J as an h-sound because I'm so used to it.
That has always amused me.

More musings from observing the Bourbon Street webcam: A pair of motorcycle cops with blinking lights rolled up to the intersection. A few seconds later, a small parade unit of two pick up trucks with big heads in the beds and people throwing things rolled up behind them. They and a crowd of about a dozen people cruised through the intersection, then traffic picked up as normal. This is not the first very small parade I've seen roll through.
Is this just something that happens in New Orleans? Very small Mardi Gras parades that occur outside of Mardi Gras? They had official police escort, so it wasn't some random "Hey, let's have a parade!" occurrence. New Orleans fascinates me.
The duckling lines of Segway tours amuse me.
