276) Trolleybot. Finally: a robot able to deal with the conundrum of the trolley problem. That is, it can unlock a trolley (aka shopping cart) that requires a pound coin and, unlike most similar tokens, it has little legs so it won't get lost. #SmallRobotsRemastered

TLDR disaster June 2, 1983. I am still mad about Stan Rogers dying young. I guess on the bright side we now have higher safety standards involving inflight fires and how to prevent them. 🤷 I want Northwest Passage Part 2 😭.

I had a June bug come out of nowhere, smack into my cheek in the kitchen, and fall to the floor. Suki pawed at it and then basically gave up. "Bug too big. Nope."

Just finished recording Hugo History #2 with @robtomshany.bsky.social, focusing on the 1955 Hugo winner: They'd Rather Be Right by Mark Clifton and Frank Riley. Apparently, this book is reputed to be the "worst" Hugo winner! (I don't think it deserves that!) (Pod won't drop until August.)

May 29, 1846. Sarah Keyes, age 70, dies after a long battle with tuberculosis. Her death would have been likely whether she had stayed In Springfield or had come along to California. There had been hope they would have made it and the climate would improve her condition… 1/3

May 26, 1846: the Russell party makes it through muddy tracks to find their next crossing, the Big Blue River, loaded with debris and filled with churning, sediment filled water. Fording the river as it was would not be possible. They would have to wait for the waters to recede… 1/2

There's so many, from so may different eras of Bowie. Just the singles alone: Starman, Jean Genie, Rebel Rebel, Under Pressure (with Queen!), I'm Afraid of Americans... But the loss and awe and fear he injected into one small verse: "Tell my wife I love her very much." Space Oddity forever.
