I have never been there in person. Only Anaheim/LA (yes we did touristy things besides Disney on that trip). It was still the smog era. But I’ve ridden on that scary car-commercial road for real! In a station wagon! With my dad driving!
THE MISSING LINK
not weird at all. Lead acetate is sweet. (please don’t lick your paint brushes if you’re using flake white, mmmkay?)
the water fountains at school never tasted as good after they had to replace the pipes for safety.
whoops
and which DIRECTION is the causation, if it’s there?
Baggy clothes being popular and a dumbshit republican president doing a middle east war for no reason are clearly correlated. Proving causation is the hard part
I should figure out when I can take time off this summer
I am THOROUGHLY booked which is an adjustment when I’m used to having to scramble but also, um, heating oil, I suspect that’s going to eat up any cash reserves
Isn’t that always the way of it
(I have a couple of dear friends who are alumnae of Randolph-Macon Women’s College. Which also recently suffered a co-ed merger, after their time.)
That’s a long drive! I did visit the one in Bristol, CT, which was informative on the history but didn’t have the budget to be spectacular - only one or two examples from each of the big makers’ names. Not the same as a full carousel of a top tier designer’s work.
For myself, I couldn’t imagine going there instead of CSW, then. I did not thrive in traditional classrooms or with conventional classmates, I needed to be in the intense 3-hour class periods with my fellow misfits. (Boyfriend was a science fiction nerd, we met at Boskone)
Yes, Milo agreed that one was up to par. As was Prospect Park in Brooklyn. But I think Bushnell Park’s ranks among the greats.
my mom’s friend was a hobby farmer, really (also for tax purposes) and when I was learning to spin I asked her about the wool from her sheep and it turned out her deal was the shearers took the fleeces as payment for their services.

"Oh, you shouldn't disrupt their private lives." Yes, I should! This is what happens when you refuse to have town halls, bitch! If I have to ask you questions about your ****-ups in Whole Foods, so be it!
I’ve made the same point about Rick Moranis. He manages to make Seymour sound like he’s singing off-key WITHOUT BEING OFF-KEY. It’s sorcery.
the only person they’d really be oppressing is whoever had to vacuum the glitter out of the Dennys carpet
Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
(it’s beautifully painted, I admire the skill and composition, but TREE 😭)
😭
I can remember having that feeling as a teenager but the way my friends and I indulged it was to go around town in ridiculous costumes while doing ordinary things like getting pizza
maybe these guys should try cloaks and feathered hats, it’d be nicer for all of us
look, I was four, I didn’t mind it not being pitch dark
This is me in 1978! In the middle. That snow suit was not red, it was rust brown - I had to wear winter stuff in colors that my brother would also agree to wear when I grew out of them.
I REMEMBER THAT ONE
trick or treating was nice that year but mornings were really really dark
They were so majestic! And it happened right around the Bicentennial and knowing that some of the trees coming down HAD BEEN THERE THAT LONG just broke my little kindergarten heart.
haha INDEED. I was summoned by the mention of Bronson Alcott, never miss a chance to dunk on him
circling the Fellsway forever
Someone will call their plow guy. A Waymo is no match for a beat up Ford F-150 with a plow blade on the front
It was prettier in my childhood though, before Dutch Elm Disease wiped out so many beautiful old trees. I cried for them.
