Ditto on the tip and rock. Or as I say, "they weeble wobble". I didn't see any weeble wobbling in the video clip, but I don't feel there was quite a long enough steady shot to be sure. A contorted soar they call it.

Saturn is my old friend. In addition to a report I made a model (oblate spheroid!) when I was 9. And that same year also designed an underground human habitation and started writing stories about the family who lived there. I spent a lot of that year thinking about my friend Saturn. And the moons.

Nutmeg caught in the sun

Made me check. Yup, mid-atlantic, we still have them fresh and frozen in almost all the stores. (Wegmans/Publix/Giant/Kroger/Harris Teeter/Weis/Safeway/Martin's/even walmart) And now I want to make a stew.

I really recommend one skipping a few expansions (don't think about raiding because that chapter is gone forever) And explore the new content with a 9-year-old. You both get to discover and learn it all for the first time. It's not the same, but it's pretty rewarding.

I know exactly what you're talking about. I actually started in Beta and played everquest before and we moved several of our Guild over so said it's a different circumstance, but still the exploration that first time, was like a whole another childhood.

Yes to a register fan! I got one 2 weeks ago and IMMEDIATELY convinced 3 other people to get one. My office went from hottest room in the house to 2 degrees cooler than the thermostat setting. It is magic. (Sure, okay, it's physics but isn't all science magic?)

Argh, the lack of a space means I failed to tag @chuckwendig.bsky.social

As a child the memory of it haunted me. It's the magic we are told can't possibly be real. I was relieved when I found it as an adult with a friend who was outside of the childhood memories. A new shared experience became the proof. She dared run up it. I did not.

There is no cell service in the dark mountain shadows and I have yet to see it when one of us can document its existence. That land was burned 40 years ago yet the stairs survived.

It's about thirty steps. Has a railing. And no sign that there ever was a house. No foundation. No chimney. (Usually the chimney rocks are all that's left of the oldest homes) Simply a staircase going up the hollow into the rhododendron.

First time I received that pop-up I felt insulted, I worked hard on this 24 page document and I want everyone to read every page of it! Also, I created it! I KNOW WHAT'S IN IT. (Okay maybe I'm still aggrieved)

What's that you say? Comma splices aren't acceptable? I'll show you! <adds small dot above the comma with a flourish>
