The George

Until this year I had only seen the aurora once? Maybe twice?, and never so clearly. Tonight is supposed to be even better.

Definitely liking the hidden panel. I can see using that on a sleeper system.

RIP AOL Dial-Up Service. ... That was still a thing?

Any tech enthusiasts from the 90s/2000s definitely had a love/hate relationship with this service.

We had one!

My grandfather was an electronics enthusiast. In his day, that meant radio equipment, early transistor devices, etc...

He had the first touch-tone telephone in the county - the original beige. To keep up with modern times, he had a 2nd (!) telephone installed in the bedroom - in red.

Unfortunately I use it for work purposes. I'm disappointed in the ones that originally saved us from Internet Explorer.

I actually DO have plans. 😁

With the purchase of bass drums, I now own a full marching battery!

... Now what? 🤣

The second's dad was too drunk to be able to provide a meal (I don't know all of the circumstances, but we got the SOS text). Fucking useless human.

My house will always be a safe house.

Yesterday, in two separate instances, my house was the safe house.

The first, one of the kids just needed to wash his head. He's torn between his family's traditional views [being pushed on him) and him simply wanting to find his own way. 17 and senior is a difficult time.

We love you Fran! In my family's small little corner of the world, all are welcome and celebrated, even against the popular culture in our region (eastern Tennessee).

Thank you Adrian for posting.

Did you guys know that Toronto is under Sharia law? I didn't either! Next time you feee-males go, make sure to wear your burka and remain under escort from your husband at all times!

*headdesk*

When your boss's wife (who is head of HR) is a delusional racist far alt-right conspiracy theorist, blocks you in to your office and starts spouting the SHIT she watches on Youtube (and not any legitimate news channel) -- I don't even have the words...

I'm fucking sick to my stomach after that...

Prepare for Ludicrous Speed!

This was the first thing I did to my PS2 (well, the modern aftermarket SATA model). After jailbreaking the unit, the PC software is a little fiddly, but it's very convenient to play once it's set up.

The first train since the floods destroyed... well, everything... is crossing the bridge into the gorge this morning.

Our favorite Mexican restaurant has finished major reconstruction, and are expecting to reopen in a couple weeks.

Signs of progress every day, but so much more to do...

The first night of the $3 Wudbuzzers band. Pictured: Sonia, Dave, Brad.

In the beginning... This was the first night I played with what became the $3 Wudbuzzers, which a few weeks after became the Electric Vegetables. We had never met before this night, but 3 solid sets of good music came out, and very soon after I was introduced to a whole Tribe of wonderful people.

Huh? What? Who am I? How did I get here?
