In today's mail: a card advertising a luxury condo tower under construction on Cleary Avenue.  The description burbles with grammatical errors, but the really disquieting feature is the name of the builder: "CharlesFort".  This seems unlikely to end well even if no wombats appear.

Also: yet another brochure from Rogers addressed to "Neighbor / 18 Norice St".  Shouldn't that end up in the mailbox at either 16 Norice or 20 Norice?

Obviously, the address of the building should be 14 Cleary.

I suspect they just put in any names and words that aren't already registered for other buildings and draw them out of a hat without ever doing any research.

And I want to move into the Gotham that is going up near Beable's for no other reason than it's name.

The name is AWESOME.

(Using my Darth Vader icon because I don't have an appropriate - or inappropriate Batman one)

You have such a closeminded view when it comes to being neighbourly!!!!

You have more than just the two neighbours!

Speaking of wombats, I once discerned that a fellow sysadmin was a Zelazny fan because his root password had "wombat" in it.

(He pointed out to me that this should have been obvious already given the names of some of the servers I inherited when I became the Steve 4.0 (him being the Steve 1.0). But the only live system from his tenure was Dalt, and it was only very peripherally that I was aware that previously-retired-before-my-tenure systems had included Oberon, Delwin, and Corwin, so the naming scheme was not something that I immediately noticed when I started my job).

If only one wombat shows up, shall we call him "Jan Finder"? :-)
