Yep. ‘Fraid I went immediately to BeBop.

All that fuss and you don’t mention who composed all that jazz? Safe money’s on Yoko Kanno.

Two adults ... if they’re both about 5'6" and 130 pounds. Kinda doubt a pair of my cousins would fit at all ... 6'4" and 230 pounds. What an interesting world in which we live where old-fashioned descriptors like, “ two adults,” become meaningless when they encounter the variety of our species.

My favorite thought experiment in the evolution of Mars government is the Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson. Some governments are, “good,” some are, “bad.” Some corporations are, “good,” some corporations are, “bad.” There are underground movements, overt militarism, constitutional conventions (fueled by kavajava,…

You mean like the quick press and release on the accelerator followed by pressing down again once the transmission downshifts, giving access to higher rpms as you pass? (slushbox version)

Surely he couldn’t have spent all that pile of loot in the bank? But, then, kids are expensive ...

The, “Click and Clack,” solution.

My mother bought a used, ‘69 Camaro. Stock. Auto. That weird, Chevy, 60s, metallic olive-drab (had to use it up somehow, I guess). Actually, not a bad car to drive to various school things and events and even a road trip to visit my grandparents the week before going off to the Air Force. Until I got home and the…

So, the 101 just west of Mesa? Or, the 101 west of 91st?

So, my opinion is different from someone else’s, and their opinion is different than mine, and the only real point of contention was me pointing out that being told my experience wasn’t true might not be the best way to go. And, you interpret this as, I dunno.

Well ... alrighty, then.

These are timeless. The only downside is that the sand pits attract neighborhood stray cats.

Not nearly as fun as these ... one of these went through one of my little sister’s foot ... she went around and around in circles, her foot stuck to the ground, while screaming very loudly. We stopped playing Jarts after that. *sigh*

Drugs are bad. Mmm, kay?

Y’know, telling someone their actual, lived experience is not true might not be the best way to convince people to take you seriously.

It’s back in rotation on Netflix.

Kidney stones are from the chronic dehydration because you cannot know you are sweating at all outside. It’s a very short step from there to varying degrees of kidney disease because each bout of dehydration or even heat sickness damages kidneys.

Six months of, “the oven,” is not great weather. Check in again in 6 years when you have chronic sinus problems because the endless lack of moisture and that frakkin’ “dry heat,” has caused parts of your sinus mucosa to die away, leaving behind exposed skull bone and your body’s attempt to salvage what’s left is to…

eew. Doesn’t look anything like it.

Be aware that if you use an, “assistive device,” to get around, and even though TSA’s own rules say you can request a private inspection instead of trying to walk without it and/or not remove your shoes, they don’t care. If you are mobility-impaired, in may be impossible to stand, balance on a cane, and remove your…
