I loved going to Wegman's as a kid because they always gave kids free cookies. The good ones they made in the bakery.

Also, the first time I ever saw a Lamborghini in person was there. It was owned by the son of the Wegman's owner. Dunno why I remember that. Is the company based in Rochester or somewhere close by? The guy apparently lived nearby.


Edit: Wiki says it is. Huh.

So, like, half the city is burning. Should help the housing market.

I can't tell if you're joking.  Is Reno 911 really going up in flames?

I don't really even remember anything about this gig.  Looking it up, it's in Washington--D.C.  That's far down my list of places I actually want to live, but at least that's balanced by it being sort of nearby rather than across the country, plus my vote would finally count if I lived in the district.
No it wouldn't.  It would just not count in a different way.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Several of my coworkers had to leave because they were ordered to evacuate their homes. It's half the damn city.

Good luck.  DC may not be ideal (I mean it's no Pacific Northwest :wub:) but a few years and you can probably flit elsewhere.

Regardless sounds like your applications are doing right :)

Seriously.  Good luck.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

It's something she picked up when studying in the US. Saferide was a taxi service for female students in some New England town she lived in.

Listen to her Swedish stuff under the name Säkert also, far superior to her English songs.
