Here, as well. Year two for this tree and it lives out back on the deck now; usually we end up planting them in the spring.

Just have to make sure it gets watered, and don’t leave it inside for too long.

1. The Power Broker, by Robert Caro.
2. The Complete Calvin and Hobbes Collection, by Bill Watterson.

Both weighty, and both amazing and insightful, each in their own way.

Not even close. Go watch the first fifteen or so minutes of “Up.” Not a word is spoken. Doesn’t need it. The power of storytelling, right there.

Tokyo was like that; all people, almost all of the time. Midtown Manhattan, too.

Sounds like an AutoCAD file reader I tried to build, years ago.

I think you’re right.

Heh. Reading “Three Miles Down” right now - it’s very good! - and “Chances are we’ll get ourselves another power-hungry president one of these years.” made me laugh out loud. Thank you, sir. (This is the first of yours I’ve read, and probably won’t be the last.)

Heh. I used to, as well, once upon a time.

Hey! We have the 1 Line and the 2 Line, and next spring, they’ll even be connected!

As someone who’s uttered “Jeez, what’s he HE up to this time?” so many times over the last couple of decades, I can only say “Ugh.”

The authors appear to have mined YouTube pretty extensively to build their dataset. Did they keep any identifying information about the videos?

That sounds lovely! They were so small once, and now look at ‘em!
