Where The Tarantula Lives
YouTube video by The Dead Milkmen - Topic Where The Tarantula Lives

"Holland is ruled by Midgets/
Pope owns CBS/
Subway cars have been equipped with bars/
And they're cloning Rudolph Hess!"

Back in the day all the cool kids HATED on
#TheDeadMilkmen. I loved them for their bright punk pop and goofy refusal to take anyone seriously.

The favorite fall of my life was as a backcountry caretaker at Little Rock Pond on the Appalachian Trail. I was there all summer and through a spectacular fall. I packed out in the first snow. Ah memories...

A non-evil version of AcademiaEDU would be extremely useful. But yeah it was a scam from the start.

The most interesting thing about Amelia Earhart being declassified is she probably crash landed on an island, and Epstein had an island, too.

Here's a simple classroom exercise to teach #history students to leverage two databases together, in this case old death certificates and digital newspapers. It works well but could use some refinement. #HistoryTeachers do you do anything similar? #AcademicSky #sschat docs.google.com/document/d/1...

You can see how tall that pier is in the second and third photos. Somebody brought an extension ladder along with the other gear. I would like to buy them a beer. Several beers.

Maybe my favorite thing about #Spokane Washington is this bicycle that somebody put on top of an old bridge pier in a raging section of the Spokane River. It has been there for 2 or 3 years! It is cabled so it can't move. Truly a quality public prank.

Were there scripts for the next season that got canceled? Where was the show going to go?

I really liked SG Universe and I thought the ending cliffhanger was great. And frustrating in that it was never resolved.

Here in the inland Northwest it is that time of year when all my coworkers with plum trees on their property bring in giant paper bags of plums to distribute. You can't really say no, and if you do say yes, you get another giant bag of plums the very next day.
