No sleep for me...

Post by bio » Wed Aug 13, 2003 11:51 pm

This is what was going on about a block from my house today.

Damn planes were noisy.

EDIT: The damn thing must have smouldered all night. When I got home this morning everything is under a blanket of smoke. I nearly had to turn on my fog lights.

Hey, how close did it get to your house? I heard Beacon Hill last night but didn't know how close it was to your place.

Hehe


"Beacon Hill", that has a nice ring to it. Much unlike the neighborhood JC and I reside in, "Fairview". *Blech* It just has GHETTO written all over it, doesn't it? Heh

Hah! I got you beat. When I lived in Spokane, I lived in what was called "The Valley."

No pretentious, long-lost development name - just the geographic location of a long stretch of low-rent, poor, white trash.

Seriously, you've never seen so many strip malls as the short trip eastbound, down Sprague.

Try "Beautiful Downtown Hillyard" or better yet "Dog Town" which is called by the people that reside there "Canine Heights"

Any neighborhood with "view" in the name is probably lame and lacks a view of anything. I live in "Chugach Foothills" which although geographically correct, sounds pretentious.

Now that sounds like a digestive disorder.

Example:

Eddie and his wife came back from their Mexican honeymoon with a nasty case of chugach.

Hehe

You could probably come up with a lot of "new" definitions for Native words. "Knik" is a good one. (That's "kah-nick"). I like "mukluk" too.
