Coffee Talk

First thing this morning I had a tense conversation with the Captain, but the less said about that, the better.

I was up late last night, so I slept in. Then I had my lovely phone call. Then I lounged around a bit. When I finally got my act together, I fully intended to go into the school and do some planning, but I ended up driving right past it to the General Store, ostensibly to check my mail with the Postmistress.

Nothing for me today.

So the Postmistress' husband, Coveralls, offered me a cup of coffee. I don't usually drink coffee, but I sensed this is something that you just don't turn down when you're new to the area, so I sat down and shot the breeze with them for an hour or so. It was actually quite nice, sipping on a seriously sugared coffee and petting P.K. Tech Girl's dog and cat (in some order).

I suspect that this sort of interaction will make up the bulk of my social interaction in the next year. Stay tuned for your next round of gossip.

Revisiting the nipple situation

According to everyone's favourite online resource, wikipedia, cats generally have eight nipples except for the odd one that has ten.

I wonder if humans ever have an extra set... you know... for holidays.
