Damn, thanks… now I can’t un-imagine the stereotypical images of those ‘many people here on Bluesky’…

As a community the only thing I saw where the adults rallied together was the suicide of a neighbor classmate… we were told too young to understand the seriousness of his actions…

but if you wanted to start something ask the nuns to explain the 6th or 9th…

cults have Jesus riding dinosaurs…

in reality entire sign is a curse… at age 12 broke 1 (c)… late afternoon after city fishing tournament… saw the ranger approaching, got out of water but left brother/friends to suffer the consequences (ranger yelling)… two days later was in hospital w/pneumonia… never been the same…

saw a OG wearing a bit worn out Pizza Planet t-shirt last week at the grocery store… positive it wasn’t you… and after a couple of weeks, even pizza isn’t worth eating… 🤪

yes… bought a cpm system at the junior league rummage sale late 80’s… came with separate hard drive that took up the entire top of the washing machine and sounded like a vacuum cleaner… those 8” diskette storage boxes were great for storing 7-1/4” circular saw blades…

the reason to retro…

… but you probably wished you’d witnessed the goal…

Way back at university found Harpo’s autobiography paperback, Harpo Speaks… seem to remember his embarrassment applying for assistance in Palm Springs… wearing Italian loafers… been some time & could be wrong…

9010s & 9020s sff were cheap out of university surplus… ever couple of years required a $35 used ps… could live with that after all the SLI machines ran into problems… now it’s a Windows 11 issue…

until mine went up in smoke…

As a CA citizen, must say that there is nothing like the great feeling experienced of leaving adjacent states and coming under the jurisdiction of CHP…

guess there are few from the US that have ever experienced the Mexican Marines patrolling their tidal zone… could be mistaken… but we had to buy a permit to camp there…

Stella had a nose that was incredible... once I realized that I let her satisfy her curiosity and sniff all the delivered boxes... We'd go on long car trips... about 2 miles from any previous rest stop she'd perk up and smell the vents... day or night... and complain vigorously if we did not stop...

When I first learned the word 'grimoire' ...

This came to mind as the source of high school exploration and adventures...

Been looking at relative humidity calibration standards... mostly saturated salt solutions...

only active chemistry project is ... O2+Fe+H2O...😎

Before brain kicks in...

what??? I need to plant my jujube in a tree box... 😳

Ah yes, by any other name, a puppachino tastes like a reward well deserved...😇

With apologies to Mark Twain, bring back the stocks!!!

Seriously, shame that we need cameras but as I have found

Gawd... why I hated program management... such simpletons... sheesh, needs more electrons... what's he building... batteries...

Regret to inform you that that job had been eliminated at our local Costco... 2 or 3 line queue for multiple windows... "Next in line!"
