Re: The Empire's last big stick (none / 0)

Drew, for some reason I didn't realize you were in DC, I thought you were still in Florida. If I'd known that, I would have dropped you a line when I was in town this summer. :-(

Hmmmm, sounds like the Yellow Line, sah?

Aw, that's too bad. I owe you a bottle of wine, if I remember correctly. Indeed, I escaped Florida quite some time ago, although I'd seriously think about returning (North Florida especially) if the opportunity presented itself.

Yep, Yellow Line from Huntington, where members of the Cocktail Circuit dare not venture.

You do? Crap, if I'd remembered that, I would definitely have called. ;-b

I should be back for a while in a couple of months. We can give it a shot then, if you haven't fled for warmer climes....

Warmer climates? I think the low yesterday was three hundred thousand degrees Fahrenheit. This damned city makes Miami feel like Anchorage. I'm seriously thinking about Norway's Arctic coast after living here.

But, yes, if the omnipotent idiocy hasn't driven me out by then, -- I'm hoping to at least stick around, popcorn in hand, to watch these pricks fry in the housing collapse -- let me know when you're here.

A map of ET users, started in this thread. A bit outdated I'd guess.
