Actually stems from a Civil War general whose camps were somewhat notorious.

Nope. Was a joke at the time, because the general of that name kept a couple permanently on staff, so when a lady asked innocently "who are those women?" she was answered "They are Hooker's." But the term "hooker" was already in use. It was pun, not a new coinage.

With no warning in the forecast, we got 10 inches this morning. It was windy as heck last night and then it started dumping around 3am. Crazy. Schools were just delayed 90 minutes, but the storm was still pretty thick when school started. Parents around here are pretty pissed off.

I had the top down on the Mustang 2 days ago. It was 60 degrees yesterday. We are hoping to top out at 30 today. Again, crazy.

it is 80 here today.

ion, the BK locator is a lying liar who lies. Either the BK is inside the local zoo, or it no longer exists.

That watch is great! It seems like it might be huge on your wrist, though.

BK in a zoo is not unheard of, though probably of little help to you.

That is crazy, Suzi!

Wow, some of the snowflakes are over an inch long. OK, they're actually multiple smaller flakes that stuck together on the way down, as it is a wet snow.

I just took a picture of poor confused crocuses that bloomed overnight. It's 60 here this afternoon.

I also cried for the first time in therapy today. Whoo? He seemed pleased, actually.

Why can't people keep their fandoms in line? Someone I'm following on tumblr because of the richness of her links and the excellence of her animated GIF photosets has picked up ALCATRAZ, for crying out loud. All this skimming I'm going to have to do, and all the energy she could be spending on *my* stuff. She's already too Sherlock heavy as it is, for crying out loud.

Why aren't more people my bitch?
