I'm stamping postcards announcing my little showroom sale. As I stamp, I scan the address labels for glaring errors.
So far, so good. Only I've spelled Vallejo incorrectly. Typos, actually, as I do know how to spell Vallejo--it's a nearish city that is home to some of my cousins.
Poor Vallejo! I've spelled it:
Vellejo
Vallego
Vellajo
I jokingly call Vallejo, Valley-Ho.
Why?
Vallejo is pronounced val-ay-hoh. For some reason, it reminds mean that I like the ring of the word heave-ho, and how often does one get a chance to say "heave-ho!"? Not too often.

*Isn't Mariano a nice name? The city of Vallejo is named after General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo.
