You know you live in Fairbanks when...
Apr. 2nd, 2018 08:36 pm...you see SIX people/groups of people you know at Fred Meyer. It's common to see someone you know there, but SIX is definitely a record haha. Mom was like "do you know the whole store?!" haha. When I moved here I knew no one and felt sad and left out, so I always appreciate seeing someone I know in public
I never really paid attention to the term "High Street" (I was going to say I'd never heard of it, but when I looked at a map of London I recognized "High Holborn" from previous visits..that was very near where I stayed the first time I went there!), but ever since going to Wheathampstead I'm seeing it everywhere now lol. It was in the last Flavia de Luce book I read, and it was mentioned in the show The Frankenstein Chronicles. I also keep seeing words relating to sepulcher, like "sepulchral." So weird how that happens lol
Mom got a job at another craft store! That's cool, I know she was sad when the other one closed. She has a LOT of fabric now lol (like me working in a bookstore :P)
( April 2 - What is the best prank you ever pulled, or had pulled on you? )
Today's trivia: When Teddy Roosevelt was running for president, he was once shot while giving a speech. The bullet, however, was greatly slowed by Roosevelt's speech transcript, which he kept in his breast pocket. He proceeded to speak for another hour before being taken to a hospital. It is believed that the Roosevelt would have been killed if not for the placement (and thickness) of the speech transcript
