I could not identify the person who cut me off on my way to work this morning, but I did get a good look at the car.
The car wouldn't start this morning, which meant a call to AAA.
The very best education possible is life which cannot be taught in a classroom.
The band campers have been visiting our library which has been retrofitted with clear separation cubicles, where they have been enjoying the top box office hits of 1918, requiring them to read and appreciate music, learn and understand both, while the ne'er do wells from that other camp try hard to re-imagine it all, as they look for ways to peek in through the doors and windows and listen at the chimneys, as though they think it is one of the Flying Dutchman's Pennsylvania House Furniture commercials.
The boys are mesmerized with Lillian Gish and Mary Pickford. It makes learning fun. The girls want to be both of them. Thank you, WMC.

See how that works? Update 18 minutes ago: https://www.msn.com/en-us/finance/c...15-cents-a-ticket/ar-BB17VpqO?ocid=uxbndlbing AMC theaters will be opening on August 20, and will charge 1920 ticket prices for the movies.
News delivery continues to dwindle which makes me glad that I walked away from my career as a newspaper boy some time in the late 1970's.
I delivered the Register of Red Bank for 2 years, riding my bike in all kinds of weather and Sundays were the worst because the paper was 5 times thicker than the weekday editions.

Sometime in the late 1970s, I was also a paperboy starting at the tender age of 10.
Yup, delivered The Evening Gazette (Worcester, MA) afternoons Monday through Saturday from 1976 to 1982 (ages 10 to 16) including during the Blizzard of '78 although we ended up not delivering that day but we delivered 2 papers (that day and day before) the next day. It was a great first job and the Christmas tips were terrific especially during the final Christmas when I was older. There were 2 routes around my block. I had one of them. At some point, my younger brother took over that other route for a while until he started participating in fall school sports one year. So I also did his route for him while also doing my route. He had intended on coming back once fall sports were done. But he never came back to the route and I did both until around Jan/Feb 1982 when I and he got "real" jobs as dishwashers at the local Knights of Columbus. By the way, there was a seperate morning paper called The Worcester Telegram delivered by seperate carriers. Yup, so there was the morning Telegram and the afternoon Evening Gazette, both published every day, 7 days per week, delivered by different carriers. And then there was the Sunday Telegram. Some years ago, they did away with the afternoon paper and went solely with the morning Telegram. And, these days, it is delivered early morning by people in cars.
And hey folks, it's everyone's favorite time. It's the weekend and tomorrow night brings us the great 80s Rockfest with kenny, dave and me live from the new Illusions and available via livestream. Looking forward to hearing from everyone on the request line. Have a great weekend!!

An healthy and safe life includes knowing to think for oneself, recognising when you're being lied to and understanding that today's American commercial mass media are predominantly establishment propaganda and fearmongering designed to sell product to society's lowest common denominator.
[size=-2]When one finally opens their eyes, one begins to see that the world is nothing at all like "they" say it is. The most dangerous thing to be is right in matters where the established "authorities" are blatantly wrong.
Time to wake up, Americans![/size]

"Establishment propaganda and fearmongering designed to sell product to society's lowest common denominator" is the sort of conspiracy theory-fueled language used by people who often receive bans from this board.
This board has been around for a really long time.
[size=-2]@ctlistener--
Well, it's not really ban-worthy (you should see some of the wacked out off-the-wall crap I used to post in my earlier incarnation/s!). I intended it with certain specific people and current events in mind though I intentionally left it vague for obvious reasons. But regardless, somebody would have said it eventually....[/size]

For a really long time, yesterday, one would have had to wait for access to Chinook Landing park.

If you can imagine a busy day park, and I mean BUSY: people with boat trailers parked clear back to the shoulders of NE 223rd Avenue and the onramp of Marine Drive, then you can imagine what it was like there yesterday. It was 102 degrees and everybody was on the river, setting off rom the park's three launching ramps. I was on the bike, heading towards the just-reopened Sandy River Delta via the dikes at the northern terminus of 223rd at Georgia Pacific. I had to manoeuvre my mountain bike, with 30+-inch wide motocross handlebar, between a Jeep Wrangler and an awkwardly-parked Dodge Ram with a boat trailer, to get onto the dike/greenway trail above the wash and the FedUp depot, ideally without scratching either of the vehicles which was MUCH easier said than done. Thank whatever for lane splitting (illegal in Oregon for motorbikes, but not for undocumented Washingtonian foreigners on mountain bikes) or I'd have been stuck behind two Suburbans just trying to get up to the trailhead for maybe 20 minutes if not longer.
Once I got through that mess, it was wide open with clear 20-25 MPH riding the whole way into the gorge.[/size]

Access to Chinook Landing park is given to our staff and band campers from our local band camp once each summer so that they can all enjoy some fresh air and a little breather from everyday issues.
It's been different this year, of course. With the pandemic and social gathering and masks and such, it was a tad more difficult to keep everyone happy but they did all get together for a nice day a couple of weeks ago. They rented and reserved a nice area away from others and enjoyed each others company. I flew out there for a surprise visit...a surprise not only to the campers and their families but to the administrative staff as well. It was great to see everyone and I was just as happy to see all of them as they were of me.
Meanwhile, thanks to everyone for another great Rockfest livestream last night. Requests were plentiful and kenny did an awesome job as usual, both in the virtual dj booth and cooking up the grub at Denny's.
