    All of the -11 things except 411 and 911 seem
    supernumerary, and 911 really ought to be 111
    as it is in civilized countries.
    611 is supposed to be a repair line, so that can be useful if your
    problem isn't no service.

    I was thinking ... . But what's the point of it if
    you do have service?

    Then there's the Vietnamese, who probably use pretty well
    everything
    although they may not serve it to outsiders.
    Yes, I'd forgotten, there is a huge Vietnamese
    presence in Texas and Louisiana.
    I heard Vietnamese immigrants had pretty well taken over the
    shrimping industry at one point. No idea about now.

    They certainly are fond of their shrimp.

    A pity about the pressure changes. Most people
    can get used to them, though.
    My ears don't "unpop" for days. Sends the tinnitus nuts too.

    It takes practice. Dealing with tinnitus, well,
    maybe it takes booze (though I have more often
    gotten tinnitus through booze).

    He could talk to the animals.
    That's not necessarily doing much.
    Apparently the animals talked back.
    What was Nancy's tagline - something about 8 out of 5
    schizophrenics agree?
    In the story, it wasn't a delusion. In real life, it gets
    interesting.

    Was he a saint or depicted as such, sort of like
    Anthony of Padua?

    not the spirit. These days the stripes have become solid orange
    or
    nasty tan.
    Following the letter generally works, and usually but
    not always when they change the litter the prohibition
    against ex post facto is somewhat protective. I caught
    that but left it.
    I just don't want to end up in the orange, tan or stripes.

    What's the likelihood? Slim and none, I presume.

    I'm not quite sure. Mine was out for days and we had to use the
    unreliable cell phones.

    I heard Vietnamese immigrants had pretty well taken over the
    shrimping industry at one point. No idea about now.

    They certainly are fond of their shrimp.

    Me too, so can't blame them.

    maybe it takes booze (though I have more often
    gotten tinnitus through booze).

    I got it from bad sinuses.

    More like a veterinarian.

    not always when they change the litter the prohibition

    Unless they catch me using plastic bags in supermarkets. (LOL)
