What? I recycle glass here all the time. No idea what you’re talking about there. But yes, 100% serious about the licensing fee.

Specifically, he would always write the second-to-last episodes of the seasons.

I’m 6’5”, and most of that is in my legs. The seat in front of me reclining has consequences for me ranging from “pressing against my legs, somewhat uncomfortably” to “literally impossible to sit without pain”. All that said, *you are not the problem*. You have a medical condition, diagnosed or not, that is treated by…

I thought about saying this, too - Whidbey is HUGE! It sounds like it’s a Langley-area problem, maybe.

Lopez, too - I saw literally hundreds when I was out there for a wedding two months ago.

No problem - and I hope I didn’t imply that I thought your work was bad/insufficient! I certainly didn’t mean to. I just was hoping to add something to it, is all.
