Giant pumpkin regatta! Genius or madness?

Amazing. I wanna watch. Where's it held?

[faithful_web]

I think there's more than one, actually! But the one I heard about is in Oregon. I bet the water's really cold.

[scarlet_discord]

That is so awesome. Seriously. And yeah, Oregon's cold, but damn that's some beautiful country up there.

[faithful_web]

It's beautiful, yeah. I'm living in Washington right now, on the coast. It's very similar. All green and cool. But the spiders are the size of chihuahuas for some reason.

I've been poking around LA, but I think I need to go north. Someplace more green. The air here...oh man.

So you're going, right? Going to get pictures?

[faithful_web]

Ooh, yeah. I've never been to LA, but I've heard the air isn't so good.

Gosh. I'm thinking about it, but it's hard to get a break from my job sometimes. Maybe I can talk my supervisor into it, though. It'd only be a weekend...

[scarlet_discord]

I can understand. Hard to keep a job in this economy. What do you do?

[faithful_web]

Well...a couple odd jobs, really. Dog grooming, petsitting and walking on weekends. That kind of thing. And taking some classes at the community college at night.

[scarlet_discord]

Oh cool, you work with dogs! I have to do a lot of that too, but it's just the one dog and I get paid in kisses.

I need to take a couple of tests and then I think I'll start at the community college. I'm still catching up on my basics. [Shifty eyes.]

[faithful_web]

I'm a huge animal person! I like cats, too, but it's harder to get along with someone else's cat, usually, than someone else's dog. 'Cause of the pack mentality, I guess. I groom at a chain pet store. It's not that hard to get certified. If you like dogs you should think about it!

[She offers a handshake cheerfully. There's a knitted band covering her wrist, pink and blue with a fleur-de-lis pattern.] Hi, sorry, I'm Penny. I should have said sooner. But community college is great, you'll like it.
