I mean, one must keep their loose-leaf paper together somehow.

I was in a meeting & missed it by like 10-15 minutes, but SO cute! Glad to see she made it safely to another tree and is nearby watching. Heck of a first flight!

1) If only those bike lanes could be physically separated, narrowing the roadway to a natural safe speed and protecting bikers.
2) Sometimes our grid system, for all its perks does a horrible job of blurring the lines between residential streets and arterials, especially with poor future planning.

Without cheating, I'd guess 35.

Ouch. :( I haven't followed Who for a few years so I didn't even know it was coming up, but yeah... that's a pretty interesting choice.

I saw a spoiler checking headlines on the Beeb's website earlier. I had to reread it like 3 times to make sure I wasn't crazy.

So many things I want to say... but in the interest of my mental health, just going to go listen to some Todd Agnew for a sec and try to figure out what book some of these people are reading...

Still haven't seen that one, despite all the buzz.

I'll admit, I haven't been following Who for a few years very closely... but boy howdy would I have been miffed if I was and accidentally clicked over to the Beeb's home page where it gave away the spoiler. That's pretty wild.

Well great; now I'm envisioning the bagpipes being the warning signal for an approaching lahar of curry chips & Irn Bru and I'm hungry. Thanks.

So jealous! Sounds delicious; throw in some chile rellenos on the side and I'd be in heaven.

Those fountains last night were NUTS. Being able to rewind to the start of the event when the main head of the magma broke through the north vent was a sight to behold. Utterly surreal; loved it.

Aw man, that's too bad to hear. Loved that ride; lots of fond memories of that one from my youth. Alas, my internal structure is not responding to repairs well, either...

I wonder if they'll relocate the old coin & medallion exhibit. Always hated how tucked away & hidden that place was considering how much cool stuff they have in there; would be great to see it get higher billing on the marquee.

Just be careful not to let your GonkPass subscription expire... those Jawas will snag it in a heartbeak.

If they ever want to upgrade, I've got a suggestion. It's even got easy road access for transport. NPS might have some questions, but otherwise...

I'm not sure which of my questions to ask first: a) how on earth is that thing supposed to be being suspended by a few small cables, and b) what on earth does that have to do with aviation. That's not how the Bernoulli principle works...

That's sad to hear. I still have it on a long-term wish list, just never got around to picking it up yet. Maybe it'll ride the pine a bit longer.

IIRC didn't the Picard art book get delayed quite a bit when it came out, too? Strange. Cool that it's coming though!

I've recently been refreshing my collection of socks, and same complaint with those: why on earth do *SOCKS* of all things need to be plastic-stapled to themselves in about 11 billion places? It should not take me 10 minutes to take socks out of the package.
