Response to Sima:

> The odd part was that I could not find it with windows search.

Windows couldn't find their own hinges in broad daylight. Windows search is about as reliable as a tissue paper parachute.

Never mind, we got this over.

>Stupid question -- where are you from? Yugoslavia?

I was. Now since my country has a long standing identity problem, I don't know anymore :).

Some time this year, Lena recounted how their math teacher, a great genius of a guy, told them that that day they'd have to learn to do something hard and unwieldy, „though not anything as bad and dangerous as, say, driving a U-Haul truck through Boorton“. To which she was astounded, „how did he know?“. She still hasn't forgotten the ride of 20-VI-2003.. Eerie coincidence, parapsychology, who knows...

These days we had a weird event... this Jeanie or Ginny, Les's housemate, came knocking on our door, barefoot, in the pouring rain. Drunk quite extensively, stinking of something bad and sour, promising a nasty hangover, it's all because of bad booze. Turs out, Les's kicking her out, so she needs to make a phone call for someone to come pick her up. We handed her our wireless - just got that recently, with two satellite units we spread around the house, so we used it as an intercom at times, summoning the girls to eat. She made the call, standing in our door, and we waited with her. Her talk was rambling and didn't make much sense, seems she's unglued a bit. Didn't last long, someone did come and drove her away before the rain stopped.

Then, a few weeks later, she reappeared, stayed for a week or two, then vanished permanently, this time we even heard the scene, two doors away. Then Will came to be Les's roommate, and the quiet period began.

The next day Go's labor permit arrived... Easy go now. Her paperwork regularly comes to this address, she gave them that as the most permanent one (correct), as they're now in Richmond, now at Jose, now at his wife. And from here to the regional INS office is just a 20 minutes ride, there by the airport, just to the left of the highway.
