Yesterday, in my continuing quest to be Informed, I sat down to read the New York Times. (I think it was the edition from the day before yesterday.) I skimmed the letters to the editor, and spotted a couple letters on the death of the subway token. The first thing I thought was “It’s just like something **Eve** would write!” And then, one surreal moment later, I spotted the name by one of the letters - it was, in fact written by **Eve**! Proving once again that the world and the SDMB are both small places.

I didn’t know letters to the editor paid well.  
Our gal is certainly moving up in the world.

Of course, in keeping with my unlisted phone number, I also gave 'em the wrong hometown, just in case it got published . . . I am the Garbo of Northern New Jersey . . .
