@AndyD that’s just lovely! I really like hearing how your playing of this has evolved!

Any day now, I expect a social media post announcing the CiC and the SecDef's testosterone levels.

Today's AQI is even higher than yesterday's!

These are my people!

Yes, many times! It's right on the way to the member lounge - small bar and lots of tables in the old restaraunt space. Sometimes we just go straight there for a break during a city walk. We'd be happy to take you up there when you are in town if you haven't visited there with Susan!

Sigh, I am just not a bourbon fan. Now, I am interested in American attempts at Scotch-style whisky, but haven’t tasted any yet.

I wonder if Collins is a no vote given a tough election in a bluish state?

I worked as a lifeguard in about 1975-1977. I made $2.50 an hour which would be about 15 bucks today. I got the job because of my brilliant swimming skills and stunning physique, Certainly not because my college basketball coach ran the summer swimming program at the pool..

There’s an arrow on the right side of the photo that lets you scroll through all the pics, though they are displayed one at a time. I just tried it on my iPad and it let me see maybe four photos before the login screen comes up. On my Windows PC, I could scroll thru all of them. FB is weird

Barely west of Ann Arbor. More like a suburb.

From my assistant Claude. Stage IV NSCLC is normally defined by distant metastasis. But one specific subtype — M1a — covers cases where cancer has spread within the thoracic cavity but not to distant organs: things like malignant pleural or pericardial effusion, or nodules in the opposite lung. That still counts as Stage IV because the disease has crossed outside the primary tumor site and lymph nodes, but it hasn’t gone systemic.

@wtg Thanks for this! My mother is with Xfinity, I'll let her know! ATT has a PIN and also requires the account holder to get a special transfer pin that comes with an expiration date, so anyone with ATT should be ok.

Because I made an extra server-level backup ("snapshot") before attempting this fix (just as an extra precaution), in the near future (after we're fairly certain everything works well), I will need to get rid of the old "snapshot" that will require server downtime. Will try to do something like this in the wee hours when people are sleeping so hopefully no one will notice. UPDATE: All done around 1:33 AM Eastern Time.

@Bernard Oh, I totally agree with you on the McConnell situation, the radio silence for a month . We're definitely not getting the whole story. As for the photo, I could see it being a real photo of him, not something that's doctored. I'll take it as proof of life, but not proof of competence. The guy in the photo could just be an empty shell. What I want to see is him talking to people in person.
