Got my copy on the Resist USB wristband. I'm going to have to dust it off and start wearing it again.

Never read your bio on a bookstore site before. Wow!

I barely passed both shop classes and the concept of "Righty tighty lefty loosey" took a while to settle in. You'll never hear a peep outta me!

I love the puffy coats on the people in the first picture when it looks just beautiful out.

I was paid triple time to be available but never got a call. We'd already fixed all the COBOL code with date issues and everything went along like clockwork. No one lost cellular service and all the calls were billed properly. If we hadn't done all that work upfront though,it would have been a mess.

I either get religious ads, political ads, or ads for products I probably wouldn't ever use anyway. I don't get too many ads from scammers it seems. I do get suggestions for videos that are obvious sites just taking content and repackaging it usually bikini videos or models.

I get carded at Safeway and I'll be 64 this year. Alcohol & Beverage will fine them through the roof and take their license away if they miss one 16 yo buying booze so they have no tolerance for any risk at all. Just card everyone. Period. And scan their ID into the system.

Arm was sore for a day or so. Nothing more. I got both also at the same time.

I went to Ace Hardware and bought a couple 16 drawer parts boxes; one for the miscellaneous chips and the other for the Flora related chips. Works well.

We're a long way from "Patch the Pony: Just say no!"; a campaign from the mid-60s about not getting into cars with strangers.

Maybe they're preparing for a terrorist act should the big Orange lose. A test run of sorts. Since they got away with it, they learned something important.

A seagull. I watched Jonathan Livingston Seagull on DVD. I haven't watched TV since the NFL became advocates for the big Orange.

Had Shingles twice. Both times were painful. Kidney stones though gave it run for its money.

She's only about 72 but she sounds so senile these days it isn't even funny.

Probably his ghost haunts Kermit the Frog and he's never quite sure what that high pitched noise is.

I remember moving a codebase via modem and Kermit and it took forever but it got done. Where did Kermit go? :)

Is this the old "Rip Van Winkle" story except he went to sleep in the Middle Ages and woke up in 2024?

Fell off the bike and had a subdural hematoma so was out for a while. The healing does sneak up on you.

Jim Morrison died when I was 10 but I still heard him in the morning when my father got ready for work and listened to WBZ-AM out of Boston. The record company made sure to have versions that would get airplay on AM radio for most artists at the time.

Someday we'll all be assigned a small drone that will follow us around the store using facial recognition to identify us and track what we put in our carts or remove from a shelf and then pay.

I know someone that is getting over it for the 6th time. Wonder how her immune system is hanging in there?
