#FERGUSON
I have few words. Mostly they are sad and angry ones. My deepest condolences to the Brown Family. -
Yes, of all things, it takes a tornado to make me post.
A little engineer's rant: So, well, 'people' are claiming that- The land's really flat in Oklahoma, so no one needs a basement;
- There's no frost so no one needs a basement;
- It costs a lot to excavate soil;
- The codes don't require them because
- Basements cost too much and it ups your assessment by 20%;

Why did the hipster burn his mouth on the pizza?
He ate it before it was cool.
And the real reason I came here to post was to put up this entirely unrelated link.http://science-professor.blogspot.com/2013/05/some-of-them-are-very-bright.html -
Gaaak! Update!
Hey. Me and mine are OK here in NYC. No electricity, but I have running cold water and cooking gas, so we are good. Have been cooking like crazy using up stuff in fridge and we've been feeding the building. Am at my office in midtown where there IS power. Have been nervous about my jobs and wanted to deal with them. Not to mention check in with my ( Read more... ) -

Yes, I still am here. I just lurk, and not as often as I would like. Life has been busy and not a kind of busy where I wanted to post about it ( Read more... ) -

Check out this review from Flick Filosopher (she rocks, too!) http://www.flickfilosopher.com/blog/2010/03/033010the_runaways_review.html

Road trip! Road trip!
Tomorrow is going to be fantastic! Right at the end of my work day I am running out the door and across the street to Penn Station and getting on a train for Albany to go to the Plastic Jesus record release party at Valentine's AND, much to my delight, they got the Turbo AC's to come up there, too, and play. (As well as a whole lot of other bands.)

Repo Men (NOT a sequal to Cox's Repo Man -- THAT is Repo Chick, yet to be released)
Edited 4-1 because I realized that one of the links was less than perfect.
I happen to think that Liev Schreiber is a fantastic actor as well as being great eye candy -- see pic http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://images.allmoviephoto.com/2008_Defiance/2008_defiance_009.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.allmoviephoto.com/photo/2008_defiance_009. ( Read more... ) -

I have too much AOR/Prog in my music collection.
I'm not sure how this happened, but as I'm working my way through the vinyl, I'm discovering how much 70's/early 80's AOR/Prog Rock is there. I mean, I knew about the Jethro Tull. I listen to it often. (It gets played back-to-back with the Clash or Killing Joke or even Bessie Smith...I did warn you I'm ecclectic) But, I have now removed History the ( Read more... )
