I'm no longer up in the area, but San Francisco has the cable cars. (More of a tourist attraction now, but still kinda cool) Interesting engineering for the day, and am lead to believe the drivers / operators still have a fair bit of genuine control / responsibility for safe operation. Steep hills, relatively primitive braking systems; My memory is of multiple redundant systems, including one "Full desperation, God help us emergency system" Which can make a real mess of things if ever deployed. Always wanted to tour the underground vaults where the pulley wheels and power distribution happens. Either that or take a midnight picnic with a like minded girl, to watch them replace the cables. They do it on a fairly regular basis, in the dead of night.

Public transportation, such a common course of commuting. I have Cadbury for a more civilized mode of travel for the highly sophisticated.

You drive a "creme" egg?

We got trolleybuses in Jinan. That's buses that get their power from an overhead catenary.

I hope whichever of my guest dogs chewed those chicken bones well. Ugh. I'm not used to trash thieving dogs! Bad dog.

This November in the general election, Arizona will have Prop 205, a bill proposing the legalization of marijuana. I haven't smoked that stuff in over fifteen years, but even I can figure where the bill got its number. Can you?

 

[huh]

This is ridiculous R! Can't post a pic now says my profile is missing... Grrrrr

The world is very big, and bacon comes from a pig.

Yeah, like the fable of the first roast pig.

Morningstar Farms makes a very acceptable vegan substitute with a lot of taste. There's decent crumbles for some cooking.

Back from Cancun yesterday.....it's quite the adjustment going from sitting in a pool for 8 hours to sitting at my desk for 13.

 

[jefboyardee]

Oh, oops, maybe. So the bill should've been 210 ?

Being a school teacher, long holidays in the summer. Term starts next week.

Pork dumplings for lunch.

Among my souvenirs picked-up in Inner Mongolia, a few stones, a 44 year old radio, and a poster of Xi Jinping...

So that 13 hour desk shift has somehow turned into 21 hours and counting.

Well that is just wrong and truly sucks!

Don't you just hate it when you think you put your watch squarely on the charger only to find you didn't? It's charging for real now.

 

[no one]

Pay attention, watch what you are doing.

Yeah.... I got home at 6 am. I should have been back in 4 hours ago but instead I turned off my phone and went to bed. I'll deal with it Monday.

I'd think that an unpopular confession would be admitting to liking the Bee Gees and/or Abba...

 

[bjacks12]

I don't know...everybody seems to loathe the peas due to the autotune stuff.

 

[no one]

Most of what I listen to, probably isn't popular*. And I am ok with that.













*"Popular" music sucks!
