Everybody being a different age than they were yesterday kind of reminds me of being home. Ma used to do that just for fun. She probably still does, kind of her MO.

Anyway, if anybody needs help adjusting, settling in or anything, give me a poke. Can't say as I'll be any help with figuring out the reason why, but I'm good for talking at.

	Funny, the first thing I thought when I woke up this morning was 'You know, her being crazy makes a lot more sense, now'. I had been warned this place was indiscriminately crazy. I guess I just didn't believe it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Ma ain't crazy, she's just, y'know, ma. I'm kind of surprised I didn't get caught up in this... whatever's going on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, I'm sorry, your Ma's crazy. Granted, most of us are, and it's not a bad thing. It just is- my only thought was I was crazy enough by myself, I didn't need hormone problems on top of it. Apparently I was wrong. And I'm a little surprised I did. So maybe it just goes by the opposite of expectation. Or maybe you're a late bloomer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, okay, probably the purple cow that gave it away, huh? Or that damn green duck that followed her around forever and a day. Swore it thought it was a guard dog. Heh, late bloomer, that'd be a first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I had bruises from that thing's beak for years, I'll have you know. But yeah, something like that. Sort of like hopping a large tornado into an alternate universe? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

We always figured the best way to deal with it was to treat it like a dog. It'd even fetch sticks. We always asked her why she didn't just make a dog if that's what she wanted, and she always said she could never get the tails right.

This from a woman who figured out how to make tropical fish out of cornmeal without having them fall apart in the water before the magic worked.

Something like that, yeah.

	Hey, fish are easy. Less complex than dogs. And really, the tail does make the canine. The cornmeal trick was one of her better ones, though. Just be careful what you wish for, or you might find yourself the butt of the cosmic joke, anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Suppose that's fair. Seem to recall she made a dragon once too, just a little one. I'll keep that in mind. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Raven told me you had arrived in this world of wonders, and wouldn't you know I was just going to go looking for you, and here you are. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Family trait, that is. Showing up right on time. Or closest thing to a family trait I've got, anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We'd all be in trouble if your father decided not to show up on time, at any rate. How are you, Ahiga? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sunsetrising 2009-01-18 05:47 pm UTC (link)
	Well that's true. And I'm doing well enough, got dropped into the life of a state park ranger, which you won't hear me complain about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ubiquitous_ 2009-01-18 06:11 pm UTC (link)
	Park Ranger, huh? Well, good on you. I was dropped into the life of a sheep farmer, though I've chosen not to...partake, if you will. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's something I'm good at, I figure, and it's Goose Lake. I like Goose Lake. And it's the off-season, so basically I just have week-long shifts of making sure nobody's here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ubiquitous_ 2009-01-18 06:27 pm UTC (link)
	Surely you wouldn't turn me away, were I to drop in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sunsetrising 2009-01-18 06:30 pm UTC (link)
	Well of course not, you're family. I'm not there this week though, someone else's turn. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ubiquitous_ 2009-01-18 06:35 pm UTC (link)
	Good to know. Where are you this week, young one? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sunsetrising 2009-01-18 06:43 pm UTC (link)
	Willow Ranch, Modoc County, California. Just down one side of Goose Lake, really, 'bout a half hour from the park. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ubiquitous_ 2009-01-18 06:48 pm UTC (link)
	That almost sounds like an invite. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sunsetrising 2009-01-18 06:50 pm UTC (link)
	It almost might be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ubiquitous_ 2009-01-18 08:20 pm UTC (link)
	I accept. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sunsetrising 2009-01-18 08:21 pm UTC (link)
	Good, because the soup's almost done and the corncakes are still hot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ubiquitous_ 2009-01-18 08:23 pm UTC (link)
	I'll be there within five minutes. (Reply to this) (Parent)
