Duque de Bragança

Confusing for some "Spanish" speakers perhaps (Suecia/Suiza) if they do not articulate that is.

Someone blew up a building housing the tax administration in Copenhagen. Well, there were 3 explosions, difficult to see the damages from the pictures online.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Looks like I'll be taking a job at Wallops Flight Facility on the eastern shore of Virginia. Any languishites have any experience with the area?

I've driven through there a few times.  My impression is that it's mostly rural with strip malls and that's about it.

Of Virginia? I think the coastal areas are supposed to be less so...maybe.

You work for NASA Max?

I will be.

Yea it looks like demographically maybe similar to central Illinois. As for racism, couldn't say. I expect the base itself to be fairly cosmopolitan.

Congrats! That is really exciting!

Only one time, to visit Assateague National Seashore.

My impression...pretty remote, but you've got probably one of the best, non-overdeveloped natural seashores on the east coast (that is still warm).  Chincoteague looked very much like a tourist-focused beach-serving town.

My guess, is most of your neighbors will be retirees.

Seedy used to knock around the part of MD that is just north.  Closest I've been to it is Ocean City.
