At the Costco the guy said they had made 300 chickens that day. It was Y2Chicken time! Well, we went and made that 302 chickens, and got some other stuff, and were "fashionably late" to my cousin's house. Among other things we played a rather.. um.. interesting game of Disney Charades, where one of the clues given for John Smith from Pocahontas invloved the founder of the Mormon Church, and another clue for a different character involved my dad's maternal great-uncle. (And the clue for Willy the giant involved bad odors and Spanish. Don't ask.)

> Last time I played charades, one of the phrases was "fire exit." Now, you've seen signs in public places that illustrate the correct way to evacuate

No, I can't say that I've seen signs that illustrate evacuation. In these
parts, the signs just say "Exit." That
way you can leave for floods, earthquakes,
bandidos, or even fire. They leave the manner
of exit up to the exiter. I guess it is assumed that people know how to read at least that one word.

Esteban, you say? Are you related to Julio?
So hello, esteban, glad to meet you. I'm
