I just realized that I keep misspelling IngramSpark, because I live in Ingham County.

lol I've noticed that.

I used to be able to order books from Ingram at wholesale prices. I was living my best life.

Polly Paperclip : You have lived a rare and perfect life.

Taschen XXL books at bargain-basement prices. That's all I'm gonna say.

I won't be publishing YET as I have already blown through my entire budget for Parlor Poetry and I still ain't done dropping coin on that one.

Polly Paperclip :

I had a heck of a time not spelling Ingham as Ingram when we moved here! Clinton County doesn’t challenge my brain that way.

Foggy : I'm reminded of when I lived in Redmond Washington. One of the main roads nearby was Northup Road. NOT NORTHRUP. Everyone called it Northrup and for whatever reason that bothered me so much.

Aerospace has a strong hold on our mental defaults.

Grumman

I have spent a lot of time sounding like I have a hair ball because arctic has a c in the middle that is pronounced. But so many lazy ass outsiders are there and both pronounce and spell Arctic Blvd as Artic or worse, Ardic.
Although another Anchorage thoroughfare is Dimond Road where Dimond High School is located. Fun regional stuffs.

Polly Paperclip : Exactly!

Foggy : You know you don't live very far from Dimondale.

Must be a relative of the Alaska lot.

I found reference to the village founder, Isaac Dimond, but no mention of where he came from. I may pursue this.
