And a classical reply from the eyeballs in the sky.

Talking about coincidences (and I am).
When I lived in Sydney I lived in Woolamaloo. Just a short walk from 
Harry's Cafe de wheels. Where you could buy their famous pie floater but 
only when drunk. (Aussie Rules)

Bugs Bunny - a common joke in classic Looney Toons cartoons was Bugs 
saying "I knew I should've taken that left turn at Albequerque!".

I thought those made it overseas - perhaps not. :)

Indeed it did and you remind me of it.

Well in your defence I thought it might have been an original spelling.
But then, who am I to criticise spelling.

It was. It looked attractive and the people I spoke to at the interval 
seemed very surprised and pleased that anyone would drive 300 miles to 
see a Pinter play. But then I bet they had never spent a weekend in 
Hobbs. ;)

Well, it was an original spelling - but it was an incorrect one. :)

Probably not at that.  It's like the new guy on my team - he's going to 
be in Denver for the first time in his life (he's up in Nova Scotia), so 
he's going to probably take a day of vacation while he's there and 
explore.

I triple checked it - my first attempt was wrong.

Our one remaining cat is too heavy to get up on my keyboard.  He'd 
probably break the tray off if he tried.

We had one of the eldest put to sleep in June as he was in poor health 
quite suddenly; his littermate went on Tuesday this week, resulting from 
kidney failure.  Both of them were 20 years old.  The one that remains 
weighs more than the other two did combined, and it's been 9 months since 
he was diagnosed with congestive heart failure.  He has always had 
multiple health issues, owing to an apparent genetic defect, but he's now 
also showing signs of kidney failure and hyperthyroidism.

The average life span after a diagnosis of CHF is about 6 months, so he's 
on borrowed time now as well. :(

That's OK, it was my turn, but I was having to get some work done 
today. :)

I think I'm going to head to the Seattle Ferry Terminal, just to change 
it up a bit.  Since I was at SeaTac earlier, it's a quick train ride and 
short walk to the ferry, and some water travel is nice this time of the 
year.

Yep - he'll have to pay for the extra hotel day and such, but even still, 
the airfare tends to be the "big" inhibitor, and it might actually be 
cheaper for him to fly a day later. :)

So, what, nobody moved while I was out today?  I ended up at SFT twice 
today, and I've got to go there two more times! :)

That's because it is your move now.

John's in double Huff and it looks like I've put myself in Huff for 
hesitation. Buggrit!

Drat! Looks like I have lost some more sectors from that plasma storm.

If it is in the natural rhythm of the English language then it must be 
"The Green Hills Of Tyrol" for Tyrol read Earth.
