To be fair, I don't think he was there for the missing keys. Go on -- tell the nice Watchers where I found them. (In. Your. Purse. )

That *was* a pretty impressive freakout, though. And I always say that if you're gonna freak out, you need to make it count.

noooo you found them in the middle of the street, remember? Or was that a different freak for a different lost key time?

Oh, right! Duh! You'd dropped them in the median outside the Flying Star. I looked out the window of the restaurant and noticed them in the grass.

It was still an impressive freakout, though. A nice foreshadowing of the rest of the trip, too, it sounds like.

close but missing

lost keys in abq that Ali found
Screwed up reservations in north rim
You jumping off the cliff after the raccoon on the divide
you driving and me straining over the edges and finding god


( and a whole bunch others not worth mentioning)

annnnnd I want a NON freakout mention for hurricane, utah.

Sounds like you need to do a timeline FreakOmeter of your own!

u.

P.S. You can adapt mine if you like. Just quote it and then remove the quotes. It's an almighty pain in the a*&e trying to get the text to line up just using the forum tools.

Now you just freaked her out!

Today's lunchtime "delicacy," in the form of a frozen entree from Safeway, bills itself as "Santa Fe Style Rice & Beans." It's...edible.

Effy confirmed that she received the book everyone signed. I already thought it might've gotten lost en route to Ukraine.

[ussusimiel]

That's great!

She's been in the Ukraine thread in the 'Tank a couple of times over the last few weeks. It's always great when she gets a chance to post. What is happening to her country is a tragedy, made all the worse by it's being almost completely unnecessary.

Good news! Thanks for letting us know.

For the Santa Fe E-Festers: I got an e-mail from the Southwest Indian Foundation featuring a picture of this sculpture today. And I was all like, "Hey! We were there!"

$260 is a little steep for me to spend on a nativity scene. But I was looking at their nichos, which are more reasonably priced -- and they have one for Santo Nino de Atocha, which I think is the name of the smaller church at Chimayo.

That was the church with all the shoes, right? They sure don't give you much info, like size or what they are made of. Maybe I'm being picky.

[Frostheart Grueburn]

I'm too heathen for that. I have precisely one item of the christian denomination in my shelf among statuettes of Nordic gods: a small wooden figure popular in Lithuania. Besides, I would need actual new boots, you saw the state of them in the States.

[aliantha]

I can kind of squint at some of the nichos and maybe make out a pagan god behind the saint. But yeah, I won't be purchasing the nativity, for religious reasons as well as financial...

One of the funniest moments of the 'Fest returned to me during the week (I may have mentioned it upthread, but it bears repeating, I think).

Aussie duke (real name: Earl) meets dlb in danlo's garden:

dlb (in his beautiful Tennessee drawl): 'Hi, are you weel?'

Duke: 'No, I'm Earl. Will is over there (points to Cord Hurn, whose real name is, Will).'

dlb: 'I know that. No, I mean, how are you feeling? Are you weel?'

Duke: 'Oh! I'm fine thanks!'


This was one of the very few occasions when the spectrum of the accents in English actually resulted in a complete (and very funny) miscommunication

I have no accent anymore. my beloved New England accent corroded by two decades (soon) in Texas.

I didn't know about this, U.! It's funny!

[Seareach]

If I'm correct, Jenn did a video of the dinner Q & A. Any word on that being available?

[wayfriend]

Who is the official Camerman-nagger around here, anyway?

[ussusimiel]

No word yet, Sea. We all look like Smurfs here our faces are so blue from holding our breaths!

Good to see you around!
