ok, you beat me with reel to reel, but in fairness, that's not an iconic 70's format ;)

I had all of Connections on VHS, but that's much too modern ;)

I used to have the ultimate in 70's obsolescence: The audio of all the original BSG episodes on 8-track tape.

Usually one will vomit in inconvenient spots to let me know I'm not up to snuff. The other takes pity and will poop in a bathtub, so at least it's an easy spot to clean.

And for those of you who can't make it, you're invited to join her husband tonight in cleaning the litter boxes. Take home a very "special" literary souvenir suitable for dumping ;)

Very simplified, as far as TX goes. They've painted in broad sweeps. There's many more cultural areas, much smaller. The "Texas Heartland" area we live in has VERY different cultures in North TX (where I was born) or the Hill Country west of Austin.

Martha and I visited Newgrange the year we went to the Dublin Worldcon. I wanted to sprinkle her remains there, but the guide was emphatic that was a no no, and Martha was still alive at the time.

I'm waiting for the revelation that Tilly Norwood got her start in the Leisure Suit Larry computer games, before becoming a stripper in Second Life.

Don't go Tesla. They can't be expanded if you need more backup later. Also, the converter is built into the battery pack. With Enphase there's microconverters on each panel, so if one goes out, only that panel goes out.

A good synopsis of the unreasonable demands the Democrats have made before they'll sign off on keeping funding. Horrors, they want affordable insurance for people! www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Explainer: What would it take to avoid a US government shutdown?

The U.S. Congress and President Donald Trump have little time and few options remaining to reach a funding deal to avoid triggering disruptions in a range of U.S. government services and the furlough of hundreds of thousands of civil servants beginning on Wednesday.

Wow, a Republican finally said it out loud. I wonder what he's been doing down in Cancun?

Could you please remove the reference to the @writer_wells001 account? That's a fake Martha Wells account on Twitter. Martha is ONLY on Bluesky or Instagram. Everything else is a fake account.

List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours with no prep:
1. Movie swashbucklers
2. Lord of the Rings (with an extra hour on why "Rings of Power" aren't).
3. Medieval English history.

While I'm usually loathe to propose him for an award, I do think he deserves a gold medal for pettiness.

I'm still waiting for full canonization of Blessed Milton Hershey.
