Still libraries, websites, Ann Arbor politics, college sports (mostly Virginia and Michigan with a newly-added parental interest in Nebraska). You know, the usual. XML alchemist.

17, not counting Oakland (where I lived ages 2-4 and pretty much only remember our house and yard and the Children’s Fairyland park)

The Produce Station — the great bougie little store near Michigan Stadium — has such an inspiring Rancho Gordo display set up this week. Finally fall weather here so it will be different beans every Sunday now.

They’re subtly dissing some other chain that receives a big old precooked bag from the corporate kitchen and just microwaves it.

Seems like it can be anywhere and everywhere in Michigan now. Ugh.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink from the fountain of knowledge.

Great movie! I saw it when it was released, with my high school best friend. I was fascinated by the history (as well as the high-wattage movie stars). It really made me think about how women fit into these events and prompted me to read “Nicholas and Alexandra” and then “Russian Journal.”

I think they were just impressed you knew about that sort of brain rot.

And he was not at all cute and stole milkshakes from kids. We didn’t like him at all back in the 70s.

Oh man, this takes me back to the good old days (if anything about the RichRod era here can be the good old days, other than the camaraderie that shared suffering builds)

Good to know that Streetwise says, "Even I don't wake up with someone saying "Bananarama" in plummy Received Pronunciation tones." I will adjust accordingly.

Back home in Virginia Beach it isn't going to hit 71 until Sunday. I would like my autumn back, please. I like the seasons here.

@averysafecat.bsky.social Important question -- were you still in the UK for the Bruno Brookes BBC Radio 1 Top 40 years? We were there 86-89 and so was he. For some reason I woke up this morning with the sound of him saying "Bananarama" in my head. Is this a sign I am losing my mind?
