Wow, Y’all been busy this weekend. 60-some posts since this time last night. Good to catch up on all the progress, and a damn shame about **Yanker** ’s eye but we’ll get it fixed. My dinner in Nawlin’s ended interestingly. An adjacent table was two 20-something women wearing black sundresses that didn’t match. They were obviously good friends, not SOs but otherwise I paid little attention. Youthfully cute, but not exotic. Very, _very_ white. Late in the evening they started trying to take pair selfies. And were making an absolute hash of it. They’d have succeeded if they had had 10 foot long arms to hold the camera far enough away. By now the restaurant had largely emptied out. I was watching discreetly when the phone owner asked if I’d mind shooting a couple of pix for them? Evidently I’d passed the “Harmless old fart” test. Sigh. “Sure!” sez I. So I did. As that was wrapping up I asked what their occasion was. The one had moved here to New Orleans a couple months ago to start a new career and the other was her bestie from the old place come to visit for a few days across the 3-day weekend. So where on Earth is this old place she used to live? The apartment building down the street from where I live now and where Her Ladyship had rented before she moved in with me. What are the odds? Much squealing ensued. Got past that, went home, slept well if quickly. and had a mostly nominal day with lovely clear weather. But … Broke the jet on an Caribbean island late today. Were supposed to go straight back then I’d be done and go home. Instead we’re stuck & I’m on the phone to HQ. By a miracle the on-call dude who can fix jets was readily available. He malletizes a couple of computers and all is well. So we launch for home a couple minutes _early_. Wow, that’s rare. That ought, by rights, have wasted an extra 90 minutes. Once home it’s time for a dinner / snack at the seafood joint across the street: carb cakes for her, gumbo for me. Now catching up w y’all. Will be on-call irking tomorrow at a decent hour, but unlikely to be called. We shall see. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-a-head-for-the-hills-mmp/984409)._
