  1. Multiple times here in WV.  The most memorable was a bear came out of the woods and waddled

    across the fairway as we were ready to tee off on number one.  Yes, we let him play through.

     

    Alas in the county where I live some knotheads are feeding the bears and they are losing

    their fear of humans.  Naturally they will come back to where the food is and go to other houses 

    other than the peeps who feed them.

    What's an album?

    Several years ago I brought some albums to the soccer field to loan to another parent.

    The kids asked "where did you get those huge CDs and how many minutes can they play?"

     

    and now CDs  are in dinosaur land.

     

    Of the OPs list I had 8 of those at one time.

  3. What are car lots like in your neck of the woods ?
    Here in S WV, the  car lots are bereft of new or used vehicles.

    I'd guess they have about 50% of the inventory the dealerships normally have.

    Any explanations ?

    just so ahead of their time and so damned good.  Music holds up as well today as it did back then

     

    The music holds up well.  When my grandson is in the car,

    we only listen to the Beatles channel on XM.

     

    Back in the day I was more of a Dave Clark Five fan

     

  5. I am not a casino "Junkie" , but  I enjoy going to the casino in Niagara Falls.

    My favorite casino day was in Las Vegas , Jan. 20, 1991.

    Mrs. Lew won $500 on a slot machine at Caesar's Palace and i was 

    able to watch a great football game in the sports book area.

    At half time, me and my new friends from Rochester had the place to ourselves.

    I know the odds are against me, but I like roulette

    One of my favorite pharma bloggers, medicinal chemist Derek Lowe, has a hashtag "Things I won't Work With".  In a recent edition, he was in rare form.  Check it out

    Gems: "Recall that this is the compound whose cocrystal with TNT is actually less dangerous than the pure starting material itself, and yeah, I know that sounds like the guy at the pet store packing a starved Komodo dragon into the carrier with your new dog, just to calm him down some."

    "once I’ve crystallized the two together, which is the sort of thing most people would consider a very unfortunate accident, I most definitely do not want to take the powder X-ray diffraction spectrum of the stuff by “finely grinding and packing the material” into a sample holder. Who the hell got to be the first person to try that, and what were they wearing while they did it?

    I’d be dressed up like the first person to set foot on Venus, I can tell you (“That’s one. . .small. . .step for a foolhardy moron. . .”) and while I picked up the mortar and pestle (assuming my suit allowed me that much mobility) and muttered a brief prayer to Cthulhu (edit: spelled his name wrong; I’m toast now), I’d be thinking that if I’d only planned my career with more attention that I could be wrestling a hungry carnivorous six-foot lizard instead. Mom always wanted me to go into reptile-wrangling, should have listened while I had the chance"

     

    Any things YOU won't work with?

    I used to work with HCl, HNO3, HF, HClO4 and Na2O2.

    Now that I retired all I work with is the lawn mower, rakes, wheel barrow,  shovels, weed eater and hedge trimmer.
