WTF-Beta

@bernard As I've said in other threads, I've since discovered we're also in a drought. It's getting worse. It makes sense, in retrospect, because not only did we not have any storms during hurricane season, we had the least amount of rain last year in eight years as far as I can tell. I had almost no weeds in the rock garden. I had to weed it a few times. The previous year, the weeds grew up past my knees and kind bent over. I'm guess this was some type of grass. The plastic under the rock beds is almost as old as time. I won't have to weed again. I'll have moved long before it becomes necessary.

Oahu, on the other hand, is having catastrophic flooding.

@adagiom Thanks! Stellar pictures. I'm glad you loved it so much.

I'd like the lows to rise to 65- 69.

The forecasters slipped up and last night's forecast low of 60 ended up being 4 hours at 59.

Too cold.

Speaking of which, I had to charge my phone charger at my secret place for doing that last night. I've mostly stopped eating sugar. I have/ had a sugar tooth. I took a notion to go to the convenience store. I spent $3.21 on an X-Large fountain soda and one creme filled donut with chocolate icing. As if to prove the point, I actually got sick. Boy, when you stop eating this stuff and then you eat it, your body lets you know about it.

Good for you!

I admire you and everyone else who performs for the public.

I can't relate to being able to do it.

I had intensive private lessons in middle school when I played the clarinet. I did one unaccompanied solo at the New York State School Music Association competition. I revceived a 99/100 evaluation. I played in the band for two years.

But that's it. One school year I was doing it. Then the summer came and I didn't start again the next year.

I'm glad you had an exceptional experience.

I'll take this off the board. " I'll talk with you soon, Andy.

The FDA has lost the plot.

I'm not asking you if you recorded it. I'm asking you to show me the clip or a similar one from the BBC website or the BBC on YouTube.

Asking for a cite isn't a convention of these related past and present forums I made up.

Not at all.

And my sources are routinely dismissed by people who don't seem to know there is such a thing as independent media as opposed to corporate media, or choose to ignore it, and won't watch even a few minutes of the investigative journalism and other channels I post.

Nevermind.

The BBC is completely biased and practices censorship.

If ever I want to watch the BBC, I can do it myself.

Joe, I know. Right?!

One of my great-grandfathers retired from Lance after 20 years. They couldn't have been making this kind of garbage.

I'm serious. I plan to buy the food I want and as much or as little as I want and to buy oils and spices and to stock a pantry. How's that for a run on sentence.

Food cost a small fortune anyway and it's become worse over the last year. Even I can look at prices and tell if they were raised from one week to the next.

Processed foods might be less expensive than all natural or organic foods but what does that matter if you're getting no nutrition and the food is harming you?

**** this ****. When I can afford not to eat this ****, I'm done.

Break a leg! (Or don't.)

With due respect, Andy made the claim. I'm asking for the cite. It's the BBC. It shouldn't be difficult.

I want to see this movie in the worst way.

I must find ways to do these things.

Universe willing.

White Castle is the worst and that's saying something. I remember when I worked at Wendy's the quality was 10x better. I remember when I lived in New Orleans the quality of Popeye's was 10x better. McDonald's was the best when I was a kid. It's turned in genetically modified, pesticide infused, dangerous cooking oil, chemicals added garbage. I'm sure their labortories are working hard to make it even worse and squeeze more profit out of it.

I'm looking forward to cooking at home.

I've been to countless restaurants in New Orleans, Hawaii, and everywhere else. Been there, done that.

Lows 60 and above tonight and 8 more days (the difference between low 40's to low '50's to low '60's matters a lot when you have no heat).

Highs in the mid '70's.

The draught continues with no rain forecast.

I found temperature forecast charts for the months of March, April, and May.

I took screenshots of them.

The numbers on paper are surprisingly moderate. At least, they surprised me.

The sweltering will start in June. No doubt.

Hopefully, I'll have electric and climate control by then.

South Korean cars were a revelation to me.

I've always liked Japanese cars.

I can remember every Honda Civic from the 1st generation 1973 cvcc to my 7th generation hatchback. The 4th generation was my favorite but I didn't own one. I wish the timing had worked.

I can remember the 1st generation Accord.

My 1997 Accord was arguably the best car I've owned.

I can remember the first Toyota Tercel.

I can remember every Japanese brand's small truck.

Etc.

Then Korean cars came along and had a poor reputation.

Then they got better and fast.

My 3rd generation Hyundai Accent was a tank.

I remember being surprised at some point in Hawaii when about 60% of the cars on the road suddenly turned into Hyundais and and Kias.

I can't wait to own this one.

Really? I'd like to see irrefutable news footage of his most recent appearance. (Or not.)

New favorite. Listing price is impossible. Have only glanced at the carrying costs.

Sill, the market is on a downhill slide.

What do you think about this one?

Again, my advice is save your 5¢ on Lucy's psychotherapy.
