I liked all those Peaches en Regalia quotes sprinkled throughout the show.

Our most recent #Criterion Crawl was Night of the Living Dead (d. GA Romero 1968 Spine #909), a crisp and clean transfer and all its wonderful extras.
It pairs well with Carnival of Souls (d. H Harvey 1962 Spine #63); both are the first feature film made by an experienced commercial film team.

Carney: Canada supports the United States…

Canada: no, we fucking do not.

Signs I’m Getting Old:
There was a vulture flying around my house this morning. My first thought was maybe I died and didn’t notice. Turns out that’s not the case.
This time.

I took it through a telescope designed for astrophotography.
It is a 2" refractor with a 250mm focal length and uses an 8 megapixel chip. Full tech details in the moon photo alt text.

Four days until an early morning total lunar eclipse on March 3rd. Unfortunately, the forecast for central Illinois is rain.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto people they don’t like either.

I'm expecting Scouting America to change its name to the Trump Youth. /s

Scouting America to alter policies including biological sex requirement to maintain military support, Hegseth says Some of the changes mirror Scouting America's suggestions to the Department of Justice, including discontinuing its Citizenship in Society merit badge.

Trump destroys everything he touches.

My IM residency in 1980-1983:
- On call every 3rd night, 100hrs/wk.
- After being on call, you finished a 32 hour shift.
- Every other day in ICU; 24 on 24 off
On the good side, I almost always arrived home by 5 PM on non-call days and usually got 4 to 6 hours sleep while on call in the hospital.

I jumped through all those hoops and rarely didn't get tickets from GD Ticket Service.

And thick as a brick!😆

I was considering Madison, but will give it a pass.
