  1. RIP. In addition to her groundbreaking role on ST, she was one of my first celebrity crushes.
  2. The mama looked down and spit on the ground Every time my name gets mentioned The papa said, "Oy, if I get that boy I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention"
  3. Hopefully, they'll be autonomous with vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication.
  4. No, but one of them is the largest shareholder. His sister owns the Lions. https://www.langdaleford.com/blog/who-owns-ford-motor-company/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheila_Ford_Hamp
  5. I've been through diamonds I've been through minks I've been through it all Love stinks
  6. Days of barefoot freedom, racing with the waves Nights of starlit secrets, crackling driftwood flames Drinking by the lighthouse, smoking on the pier Still we saw the magic was fading every year
  7. One summer day She went away She gone an left me She gone to stay But now she gone An' I don't worry 'Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world
  8. Yeah, I'm not sure why anyone feels the need to insult someone else's taste in music.
  9. Did you just move this? Now, mine looks prescient.
  10. Just before the pandemic, my wife and I took the train from Chicago to Seattle to visit her brother. We got a roomette on the way out, but it was a tight fit for two people, so we upgraded to the full room for the ride back. If you have a room or roomette, the meals in the dining car are included - otherwise, you pay a hefty price for food. The food was pretty good and the beds were comfortable enough. If you can afford the full room, go for it. It makes a huge difference. When you go to the dining car, they'll seat you with other people until each table is full. That's good or bad, depending on who else is at your table. We met some people who were interesting, but a few who I'd prefer not to talk to again. But if you have a room/roomette, they'll deliver your meal there if you want. We enjoyed it and we're glad we did it, if only for the experience. I'm not sure I'd do it again, but I wouldn't rule it out either. I've heard the route from Chicago to San Francisco (via Denver) is the most scenic Amtrak route.
  11. Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
  12. Random thought: Was Rick Astley responding to John Lennon?
  13. (This is no social crisis) This is you having fun (No crisis) Getting burned by the sun (This is true) This is no social crisis Just another tricky day for you
  14. Hit me with your rhythm stick It's nice to be a lunatic Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
  15. Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry, I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky, And the tears that I cried for that woman Are gonna flood you Big River, I'm gonna sit right here until I die.
  16. lumbering (verb) moving clumsily or heavily, especially from great or ponderous bulk See also:
  17. Well, it's alright, even if you're old and grey Well, it's alright, you still got something to say Well, it's alright, remember to live and let live Well, it's alright, the best you can do is forgive
  18. "Fat, old, and injured is no way to go through life, son."
  19. I suspect that the two "significants" above are incompatible. There may be significant interest, but not for significant money.
  20. Reprobates, tramps, and saints We all get together and seal our fates Havin' a party After the sun goes down. It's kind of an obscure song. If you want to check it out:
  21. "Man, I hate these ball security drills."
  22. In the mornin' I pack up my gear And toss it in my carryall Run the wide load to lip and Watch the big core crack an' glow In the evening I undo my belt Split open and melt
