I felt like that last week at the farmer’s market. I hate it.

I think we could all chill

My mother.

She was returning something on a slow night at Best Buy.

We did not make it past the tween greeter at the front door before she unleashed!

Mom went off. The way she was talking, you would think he, personally, did something to harm her. This kid was standing there, shrinking away, with what looked like his girlfriend standing next to him. He was a door greeter, had no control or decisive role in any way.

Of course, she called a manager.

I feel real bad for that kid but love embarrassing my mother by recounting that true tale to others.

That sounds so great. Do you know the device’s product name? Which library do you get this from? I’d like to try it out in my library.

Wow. Thank you. That was gross, but now it’s clean.

Wow, that’s great! Thanks for sharing

Does this have a name other than ‘a wave’?

Looking at this makes me think of some pictures of the surface of the sun, teeming with all the roiling, explosive energy barely contained beneath the surface, and then this, a solar flare, erupts

‘Lincoln in the Bardo’ (2017) George Saunders. A bit late to this title but got restarted with Saunders after finding ‘A Swim in a Pond in the Rain’. Now I have to read/re-read all the Russian short stories but before that, I found a signed, hard-cover, first edition of ‘Lincoln in the Bardo’ at my local used bookstore! It’s a trip but I’m along for the ride.

David Eddings? I read him way back when I was a kid (~35 years ago). Think the series was called The Belgariad or Belgarion. The first 3-6 books were fun in a light yet captivating, magicy, fantasy way.

Ian Curtis (Joy Division), though that would probably screw up the timeline for New Order and all of 80’s music (not a dealbreaker).

Prince (obvs)

Both of these collections have more or less ‘dropped off’.

Menus are mostly printed take-out menus, though I swiped the in-house menu as well when I could. Now, most of the casual dining places have replaced menus with QR codes.

The grass clippings were just a snip of a memorable event (cousin’s college football game, first time solo camping, special event, new home, etc.).

Books, ephemera found in books, tree leaves, grass clippings, pencils.

Menus and matchbooks have been more challenging with changing times

This is for Stall Action: There are 4 stalls.

Almost every guy takes the stall closest to the door, so I never take that stall. Since almost every guy takes the first stall, I never take the second stall cuz, eww.

The fourth stall is the handicap stall. While roomier and equipped with handlebars should the need arise, I do not use this stall.

Therefore, the third stall is my unloading port of choice as it seems to get the least use.

As I understand it, there’s a huge downside to federated software in the requirement to be Always Online. Lots of people have slow internet connections, or no connection at all, preventing them from accessing their software. Everyone should be able to use the programs/apps they have without regard to whether they are online or can get online.

I’ve never heard of an archaeologist too scared of a new endeavor. (I have no friends and fewer archeologist friends.)

Congratulations! Please, do a TedTalk or something!

Does anyone have experience/thoughts about Mojeek?

I just recently learned about it and haven’t really explored it, but curious.

Thanks!

There are SO many great offerings here, but Elizabeth Fraser (Cocteau Twins), I think, blows them all away. https://piped.video/results?search_query=cocteau+twins
