Cane Toads? 

oops, I’m wrong - they drink sap as adults. So not just singing and mating. But, they are harmless - they won’t hurt your trees, or your ears. 

Good news, Cicadas don’t bite, sting or even eat when they are above ground. They come up to do two things: sing and mate. 

I miss my neighborhood theater I can walk to, and our local Alamo Drafthouse. I bought give certificates for future shows for friends or rewards for coworkers - I hope both theaters can hang in there long enough to make it through the shutdown. This is devastating for them :-/ 

Those keyboards were the sizzle! The SW lab where I worked in the 90s sounded like it will full of machine guns. 

The cast looks awesome; but I agree the trailer was a bit ho hum. I have high hopes the writing lives up to the abilities of the cast. :-) 

Ugh a 20% pay cut :-/ poor things

I’ve been using a ThinkVision 44" for a while and I adore it. I place all the Adobe Illustrator palettes out on it - stretching nearly the full width - plus I can have multiple instant message windows or additional reference web pages.

There is a great SciFi book by Connie Willis, The Doomsday Book about some Oxford historians with a method for going back in time to observe history first hand.

That guy was from Virginia, returning from a mission trip to New Orleans. He was accidentally in NC. Not that NC isn’t full of conservative idiots who grate on my last nerve ... because it is. But he wasn’t one of the home grown ones. 

I wish we could guarantee that

Don’t get too wrapped up in the numbers. The tests are not 100% accurate, they aren’t testing 100% of the population. Most testing is performed on people who go to the hospital or seek medical attention. It takes the virus several weeks to run its course from the non-symptomatic beginning all the way through the…

Many restaurants have flipped to take you. You call in an order, reserve a pick up time, one or two people allowed into the restaurant at once, sanitized pens (or bring your own), wear a mask if you have one, restaurant employees in masks and gloves package the food. It isn’t idea; but we hope to keep our fav…
