An Observation: When the cashier at Safeway actually looks at your name from the receipt and is able to pronounce it normally, there is no reason why the rest of the population should have any problem with it.
As a Side Observation: When the underpaid, overworked cashiers at Safeway are pleasant and courteous, it is a sign that the world will shortly be ending. I would leave any major urban areas if I were you.
Mini Phal in Bloom
Though we lost the leaves to crown rot on this orchid, the roots were healthy enough that it is sprouting anew. Will keep updates coming! I didn't know it was possible for a phal to keiki from only roots!
My Office Orchid: Oncda. Flaming Pole 'Kalapana'
This is a picture I found on the net, but it's the same as mine. Pretty, no? It also smells quite nice when in flower.

Its probably just a sign that the cashier is a CSI fan. I find the name gets pronouced correctlty much more often these days...
Ya know, that's a real possibility. One day I'm gonna find out whether there is a connection.
I mean, like relation...
Done and done.
As far as leaving the urban areas. :) As far as pronouncing names correctly I have no idea, but I can assure you I feel your pain.
