Strange customer names, continued.

-Tandy. I expected an old woman, possibly one who might attract the likes of Hume Cronyn or order Morgan Freeman to drive her around. Instead, it's a middle-aged woman. Who drives a Mustang. Herself.

-Chevalier. Last name of Cromartie. I didn't even ask. I expected someone foreign. I was met with a polite, good-looking young man, early twenties.

-Rocklyn. A man. Short, with long, red hair and lots of freckles. A very angry man. Possibly due to the girly name.

-Ladane. Not even sure how to pronounce it. Sounds like an old lady name. Was middle-aged. Unfriendly. Didn't ask.

-Fannie Cleolia. Again, figured it had to be an old lady. It was a young, bitter woman.

-Joby, last name Hamm. I've heard this name, of course, but coupled with the last name, it stuck out even more.

-Draven. Actually not a customer, but the grandchild of a coworker. When he first told me, I said, "He's destined to be goth. Or emo. Or both." When it was mentioned to another coworker, she said, "How long before he dyes his hair and starts wearing all black?"

-Quenby Cashieu. Cashew? I don't know. I've never actually seen someone named Quenby, either. He had his hearing aid up so loud, I could hear feedback--and he could barely hear a word anyone was shouting at him. Then he got in his bright, new, red Mustang and drove out onto the highway out front. Scary.

-Ventress. A man. Old.

-Braith. Also a man. Construction worker.

-Carr. I haven't met him yet, but I'd assume he's old. He drives an Edge, though, which, for the unfamiliar, is a new crossover Ford released this year. I just can't see an old man driving one.

-Manlius. Young. Good-looking. Smooooooth. He hit on me. Trying to live up to the name? (Not that I didn't enjoy it, along with his musical, deep voice.)

-Edsell Odell. Male. All I know is that he drives a pickup.

-Leland Corbett, Sr. There's a small town aross the river from ours named Leland. It seems to have influenced a lot of our customers' parents.

-Glendora. Sweet, middle-aged woman.

About time to shut off the computers for the night.
