It actually says "a pirate RPG", so I don't think this person/page is related. It's just a pirate RPG link on a page that has "ashrubbery" on it.

Definitely not related, way OOG. That's the random relationship generator. Try it out, it's amusing for at least five minutes. :D

Well, I guess that explains that crazy typing.

Too tired to think. It's funny, but I dreamed of pirates last night.

Then again, I also dreamed of smart dogs and stupid masters, a woman they both loved, glass taverns, strange vending machines, sushi, wise blue dragons, and 'spiced ale' which tasted not of ale but only of spices -- cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, pepper & hot pepper.

But damn, that was one sexy pirate...

Off to dreamland now. Here's to hoping the Jack-Sparrow-ish guy from last night returns,

The online sources I used show the address to be 2676 Calle Olivo.

EDIT: Which is confirmed by entering that address in the site you sent the Cap'n to. The marker is a perfect match with Windows Live.

Some of the other sites visually put it across the street on the north side of Calle Olivo and the west side of Calle Alamo where they meet.

w00t! Hikari's on board!

That being said... I suddenly have work.

Wow. I didn't even pause to consider, this weekend, that teachers might actually assign work.

Much less work that would be graded as a test.

Well isn't this just peachy. If only we were sailin', it'd be damn hard for 'em ta get me tha papers! Razz
