Oh man! I remember we had one of those, although I thought the name was something different!

Don't'cha just love how Faux News tries to pretend he's sane and not at all suffering from dementia?

I've been here for 32 years and while I miss the lake and the Toledo Museum of Art and Tony Packo's, I **love** it here. Big enough to be interesting without being overwhelming. And over the last few decades CBus has really started leaning into its reputation as the San Francisco of the Midwest.

Yeah, outside of the cities, Ohio gets kinda sketchy. Drive half an hour out of the metro Columbus area and you'd swear you can hear Dueling Banjos. You really want to stick to the Three Cs, Toledo, and maybe Dayton and Akron/Canton.

Likewise many programs from the 1960s and 1970s. I can think of many exceptions to that rule, but also many more non-exceptions.

There's always the Glenn Research Center in a blue part of Ohio!

(I can't think of anything that could convince me to move to Texas outside of a lottery hit large enough to finance defeating Ted Cruz)

I volunteered for third shift in our call center for the week following Jan 1 because I was confident we were ready.

I took one call over three nights and it wasn't even a Y2K issue, and they cancelled overnight coverage after that.

Good grief yes—I was working for IBM at the time and the reason there were so few Y2K incidents was because the IT community busted their collective tailfeathers to make sure they had them all resolved!

I remember a much younger co-worker in the late 1990s complaining about how 'Bill Clinton is the most crooked president ever!' and I just gave him a look (no, *A* *LOOK*) and said, "You're too young to remember Nixon, aren't you?"

At which point he remembered a history lesson or something... ;)

On behalf of my older niece who earned the first master's degree in our family, and my younger niece who is pursuing the first doctorate in our family, congratulations!

My parents celebrated their 59th anniversary at the 'Bumpus House', next door to the 'A Christmas Story' house in Cleveland. One of the cousins who came down probably got the same look when he said he'd never seen *that*.

I'm in!

Wonderful! Sooj is always great. :)

There wouldn't be the anger and the recriminations if the party had held the line. Schumer threw everything away for a pinky-promise of a vote that we all know is going to fail because there's nothing pressuring the GOP now. We need a leader who hasn't got a spine made of yarn, and we need it now.

Out now, not in a year and a half. He's spineless, clueless and useless.
