I and the family made a trip across the country to celebrate my mom’s retirement! Tomorrow is her last day.

@MaryMamuzich No, just a funny license plate I saw on the road🙂

@kelbot
Somehow I always remember this from Soldier(1998).

@futzle This is Mesa. She is also chewing complete.

@neauoire And coat hangers. It is pretty sturdy and has a pleasant sound.

When driving in snow, it is a good idea to occasionally give the wheel a little wiggle or tap the brakes when you’re in a safe spot. This test gives you an idea of how in control you are and how responsive the vehicle is(in the current conditions). It reminds you of the limits of your control so that you can account for them. Likewise, you can test yourself by temporarily abstaining from good things like food, sex, entertainment, etc. Then you will know if these things serve you or not.

@neauoire My grandmother and I built one of these when I was 10 and it turned out really well. "You tell me how to put it together and how it works and I'll do the cutting.", she said. What a wave of good memories! I'll see if I can get a picture tomorrow.

Heidi had a good time flying a kite today!
It was ALMOST too windy🙂

@atyh OK, Hyperbola BSD is pretty cool, have I been living under a rock?

@atyh I’ve never heard of Hyperbola BSD, but I will look into it now. I’ve had this feeling about Linux since systemd took root almost everywhere. The Kernel just keeps growing and growing too. Do you really think it is beyond salvation? I just don’t know.

@futzle I just get curious about how greatness comes to be. Sometimes it just barely happens like a fluke, but most times there are a series of steps. I wasn't around when Graduate formed, but I have actually heard Elvis Should Play Ska. @mary commented at how modern it sounds with a dash of Devil went down to Georgia. I like the direction the UK went with music in the late 70's/early 80's. They didn't have the cultural division of rock/disco/electronic music and they kinda coexisted maybe.

@futzle You got me down the Graduate rabbit hole now.

@bethany @sinbach Whoa, I never knew this existed! Good song! I think I had a Rocky IV flashback too.
