Tio Jaime: Aleph One

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF JAMES [last name deleted], EIT

Few weeks back I was marvelling that when I called Ohio, I talked to two suppliers/subcontractors named Homer.  Before then, in my 25+ years I had never met anybody named Homer.

Last week, I was calling LA for some prices of valves.  I talked to a Cristelle.

Now, I just called Las Vegas, trying to find prices for some earthwork to be done.  I talked to a Denim.

If you liked the millenium-tastic version of "Ocean's Eleven", you'll remember Bernie Mac talking to the cowboy car salesman, "Billy Tim Denim.  Denim like the jean!"

Is northern California the only refuge from that which is strange and aptly named?  The Northern Californian I know w/the weirdest name is probably Petros.  And even then, he's from San Francisco.  Ask him.  He'll tell you he's a native. 

all my love,
