Well, shoot, I feel dumb now, I have never heard of McNally Robinson and didn’t even know that McNally Jackson was linked to any other store. But yeah, you should go there, it’s charming. They really do have a wonderful selection for their size.

Yay for you! When I do right brain/left brain tests, I always come out right in the middle, so I’m not sure it’s a brain-hemisphere issue. If it were I’d be way on the side of the side where you can’t pack trunks. :p

My friend tim is a genius genius and can just look at an equation and draw a graph of it using only her brain. I can barely do a graph from an equation after plotting fifteen points.

Hahaha, that sounds like something my sister would say, except that in reality she can do zillions of things (though not necessarily tax forms). Whereas I can’t even make tinfoil suits of armor.

Pretty. I love you. <3

Hahaha, I’m not sure that AMERICA reads enough books about diplomacy. :p

I don’t know that I understood most of it. I understood BITS of it. I will be sure to report back to y’all about the book espresso machine and how it plays out. 🙂

I will let you know. I may just go a-browsing in the mid-300s at my public library, and see what shakes loose. Surely a big public library will have tons of books about diplomacy.

ASVAB, maybe that’s what I’m thinking of, or at least one of the things I’m thinking of. I remember being stumped by gears and currents too.
