I Love It When They Mention Things I Know...

So, I'm reading a Fast and Furious fic (yeah... I know), and I come across this gem:

“The Mitsubishi was found abandoned right…here.” She’d tapped a fingernail over the tiny dot. “Junction, Texas.”

“Population 2?” Dom joked.

“Yeah, once a month they play bridge and it balloons to eight.” Mia said seriously. Her face was so impassive that he almost asked, “For real?” Then he caught the twinkle in her eye and checked himself.

What's sad, guys? Junction, Texas has a population of 2600 people. Somerset, where I live? 1500.

No frets, though! Lovelady and Dimebox are still smaller than us. That said, Dimebox has a song written about them and Somerset hasn't. Yet, my friends, yet.

I kinda know where Junction is. Or, y'know, at least know it's there. :D

Didn't get to your story tonight (and I'm about to crash; I think I fought off a fever today in the midst of running around and my allergies are giving me hell) but I'll definately get to it tomorrow while I'm waiting on Susi to finish her test. Before we go to BlueBell. Yay! :D

My rural village mindset is protesting that 1500 is a huge population. :))

Lol! It is to me, as well. But Somerset is also very spread out.


... and I think they're counting the cows. ;)

Whenever you say Somerset, I think of our Somerset. Although that has a population of 884,400 (according to Wikipedia).

Haha. :))
