I have extensively researched this subject, and it's not an official town name unfortunately. Just a tourist attraction where the guy who owns the businesses claims to be "the Mayor." Disappointing, but it's still fun to explore Uranus.

^^^ Truth. But not funny.

Meanwhile, here is your German word of the (Mon)day:

Yep, I used to live off exit 184, just 21 miles down the road (Taint? MO) from Uranus. It's really just 2 or 3 crappy roadside stores and not really a town. They did send out one issue of a "town newspaper", full of Uranus jokes.

I know that you could get some great Mexican food in Lordsburg, NM...but I haven't been back in some time.

(I stopped a couple of Border Patrol agents while I was on my motorcycle, introduced myself, and asked them for a recommendation. It checked out.)

I know teaching cursive went the way of the dodo, but is reading comprehension not a thing nowdays either?

Wait, you didn't notice until today?

I wish my cursive was as good as this. I can't even read what I write in script.

I deal with this every day. I will send an email with a number of questions or a number of items that need addressing. Responses will usually involve only addressing the first question or item and ignoring everything else. I then have to write numerous follow up emails when it could have been handled with just one, maybe two queries.

Scrolling (all the rage, I hear) doesn't require much in the way of reading comprehension, I suppose.

It's so common I don't even think about it anymore. I just sort of expect it. (Probably from dealing with folks who can't bother to actually read the whole message.)

But, It is frustrating, especially when you attempt to communicate as clearly and thoroughly as possible to avoid any confusion.

I may be old enough to remember some of those cartoons, but I tend to date younger women and have always subscribed to the Groucho Marx credo of "you're only as old as the woman you feel."
