Did you know that you can see the aurora borealis as far south as Lake Michigan, as long as you’re in the center of the lake, away from any city lights? Who knew, right?
Might I be suggesting you are?
If you exited a rapid transit station into downtown, saw a giant Nordstrom vertical sign and, to your left, an Amazon van, where do you imagine you were?
Would you be momentarily jarred a few blocks down by a behemoth Canada Post office?
Would you speak French at the Post Office just as a verbal pinch to self confirming you are in the city you think you should be in?
Would your heart be gladdened that you gave correct directions and aid to first-time travellers despite not having lived in the area for twenty years? And by the fact you could pass for a local, when asked by the Post Office salesperson if you are from around here?
Aren’t these the questions we really need answers to?
Could it be I like to think of one familiar place as the eleventh province and not the other as the 51st state? Isn’t it good that I didn’t look at my wallet because the currencies would not be much help?
Wasn’t I amused when asked by my companion at coffee this morning if I were a regular at the coffeehouse?
Why has nobody liked this post?
Wasn’t it my wittiest in the thread?
Doesn’t this sound like a winning start to a winning day?
Aren’t I liking it now for the Mission of Burma reference?
Do you like Birdsongs of the Mesozoic?
Would you like me less if I said I didn’t know them? Is this the band you mean?
Or do you mean something else?
Isn’t that who I meant? Although hasn’t Miller since decamped?
I would guess that means you are unfamiliar with Eric Lindgren and his weird output?
Because it’s from April and we all collectively moved on?
Fucking Des Moines?! Now I have to fly to Des Moines and drive to Iowa City?
Fucking Delta, amirite?
Are you really fishing for compliments?
Wouldn’t that be an accurate guess on your part? Don’t I thank you for the knowledge sharing?
Maybe he’s feeling insecure and he needs our validation? Is that so bad? Don’t we all need validation now and again? Didn’t I need a bit this morning?
We are talking about @OtherMichael, aren’t we?
Didn’t I see that thread because somebody liked the BurmaShave post this afternoon, and then didn’t I think it sad that there were no likes for Mission of Burma?
Was I the only one who had to scroll up to see who started the thread?
