Yes, I live in Reno.
No, I didn't run into the mountain lion.
No, Reno is NOT a few steps away from being a ghost town, thankyouverymuch.
NO, THIS NOT LAS VEGAS!!! That city is located at the far other end of NV.
NO, it's pronounced "Ne-vah-DUH!!!

Please excuse the snippy tone. I just spent an hour trying to figure out how to download an ebook from Kindle for PC to Kindle device. Turns out the whole process is really very simple (book successfully transferred), but DIRECTIONS NOT EASILY FOUND & or POORLY EXPLAINED.

Around dawn/early morning on Friday.

Makes a great bumper sticker - I've seen a few.

And apparently theres a lion loose in Essex, England!!!

although I see the search is already over! (http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/aug/27/essex-lion-hunt-bank-holiday?intcmp=239)

I saw that. Also not the first time a big ginger house cat threw UK people for a loop.

I don't understand

[zimon66]

Neither did the mountain lion.

HA! I hadn't heard about the lion!

P.S. There's a street here called Romence. It's pronounced how it's spelled: Ro-mence (like fence with an "m"), but everyone still calls it RoMANCE and it pisses me off.

When certain city related mispronunciations rub you the wrong way, that's how you know you've become a local.

[six-demon-bag.livejournal.com]

True, but at least half of the locals mispronounce it themselves! Grrr!

I LOVE your icon!
