On a lighter note, these are our own little "metro diary" provided by Will as he was working in our neighborhood coffeehouse:
(speaker is on her cell phone):"If I send it regular two-day, will it get there in a week?"
Indicators of the local demographics (again, overheard cell phone conversations):
"Yeah, we couldn't find a hotel near the L'ouvre, so we slept in the car."
"Yeah, they're all married and doctors in Minneapolis now."
