In the last minutes of the First half TB/Detroit game tonight on ESPN on Sling, the service stopped streaming and we got a message on the screen saying that we needed to restart Sling.
Sling's website is unresponsive. ESPN is no help.
Would like to watch the sportsballs. sigh.

You were dancing
I saw you dancing
Throwing your arms toward the sky
Fingers opening
Like flares
Stars were shooting everywhere
Lines of power
Bursting outward
Along the channels of your song
Mercury waves flashed
Under your feet
Shots of silver in the shell-pink dawn

Bruce Cockburn's "Creation Dream"
the guitar bridge between the first and second verse is what's in my head.

i just posted about the Trifecta, being on the elevator with her, having her be broadcast doing the news in the elevator, and saying "fifth floor" when i got to my floor.
I only ever got a two-fer with her, and a side eye about "yes, i know that's me." as she got off at her floor.

She didn't say that to me, but we definitely gave each other knowing side eye.

I only ever got 2 of those. On the elevator with Susan and her voice announcing the floor.
Susan just retired, and everyone celebrated her. I hope she knew how special she was and is.

NPR 'founding mother' Susan Stamberg has died
Susan Stamberg, an original National Public Radio staffer who went on to become the first U.S. woman to anchor a nightly national news program, has died.
www.npr.org/2025/10/16/1...
correct me if I'm wrong, but the elevator trifecta at work was:
--get in the elevator, have Susan get in with you
--a story reported by her is being broadcast over the speakers in the elevator
--Susan's voice on the "going up, fifth floor..."
Godspeed, PubMedia Mom.

I'm still in my Unboxing Era after moving, but, hopefully the weather is nice and we can go to more things like apple orchards and parks and junk like last weekend.
Greatly enjoyed visiting Williamsport MD for a different section of the canal than Great Falls/Cabin John area where we used to go.

Dear Tech companies.
No. I do not want to talk to my computer out loud to ask a question. I want to sit here quietly & type it because my husband is watching TV, or sleeping.
I don't want to talk to anyone 99% of the time. Stop making things that I need to talk to in order to find shit out. thx

but here's the thing - pumpkin doesn't taste like much. it's rather bland. it needs all them spices to make it taste like a thing.
and all those spices ALSO go nicely with apple. and that's where i prefer them.
now pass me some pumpkin spice garlic naan and i'll be the judge o'that!

Penn State Board of Trustees approves new deal for WPSU | Penn State University
The Penn State Board of Trustees today unanimously approved the material terms of a proposed transaction to transfer the operating assets of WPSU public radio and television stations to WHYY, a public...

Incredibly relieved to hear this. WHYY will help WPSU grow, stay, inform, thrive. Central Pennsylvania deserves access to free news and TV.
We know it isn't "free" though. So. If you live in the area or care about keeping journalism alive, donate.npr.org & support.

does anyone remember on Saturday Night Live, I think Weekend Update, a bit where the sports reporter is saying what the players on the field are saying: "Then he says I'm going DOWNTOWN!" or "He says I'm going to shove this fastball down your throat!"
Doug & I can't remember who did these. Help?

Trump issues a Columbus Day proclamation to 'reclaim' the explorer's legacy
President Trump said "left-wing radicals" have tried to tarnish Columbus' legacy, and the proclamation is a way to preserve it. Some experts say it's a way to erase the heritage of Native Americans.
www.npr.org/2025/10/11/n...
I'll point folks to a really balanced, honest podcast series on CC. Worth the listen. He had some great accomplishments yes, but he was also a shitstain on history. Let's not sugar coat it and Make Columbus Great Again (Lord. No.)
