hey you didn't get permission to leave us!!!!
I do hear you though, we we were visiting my wife's uncle in Fairbanks, we were at the grocery store and while in line I talked to a couple for 5 or 10 minutes, when we left I asked Vic who it was assuming he knew them and he said he had no idea who it was, just another customer at the store. I was in shock to have had a conversation with a total stranger after living almost my whole life in Arizona.
on a sad note my company just posted a job in Fairbanks, which I would put in for had I not just started my own fleet maintenance company and am in the middle of building my garage.
