Oso Hearts Booger

Today, a picture:

siblings

Mei and I saw these two (obviously not from San Diego) kids while waiting for some soft serve at Balboa Park.

If you do not have a sibling, I highly recommend that you get one. They are great things to have in life.

I finally got all the CD’s sent out. The competition for craziest address was stiff. Medea almost had it, but then Lu - who I met in Peru and then stalked in England - announced that she and her man had moved to …

get this …

the village of …

Westward Ho!

She writes:

No seriously Westward Ho! is the name of the village we live in! It actually has the exclamation mark on the signpost… it is supposed to be the only place in England (maybe even the world) that has an ! in its official title…. what a claim to fame! It was named after a novel by Charles Kingsley in the 1880’s which was titled Westward Ho! Makes me laugh too.

Amazing things happen in this world. OK, time for sopa azteca with my blog homie Chris.

    I think that putting an ! at then end of a city name gives some life to the city - imagine Deadman Crossing, CA would become Deadman Crossing! Doesn’t sound so glum, does it?
    And I agree, there is nothing better than having a sibling, especially i you like them.

    This post had many strange coincidences. My sis (I do have one) was at Balboa Park (and the zoo) when you probably took that picture (yesterday? Which also happened to be her birthday).

    There are places in the Kalahari that have ! in their names. As well as other strange symbols. Too bad you did not get a CD request from there.

    I have three siblings and a dog, even better.

    I’m trying to work on getting a niece or nephew. Those seem cool.

    Greg,

    Yes, definitely. Even a simple place name like Boulder would be much more fun were it “Boulder!”

    Xolo,

    I obviously need to talk to the people of the Kalahari about their musical tastes. Hopefully a few requests will come in next year.

    Cindylu,

    Everything has to be a competition doesn’t it? Just wait till I join the catholic church, you won’t have a chance.
