It appears Bret is still battling insomnia.

Actually not.  Long story.

We got time...

Started reading a book yesterday that I'd gotten used some time ago, don't even remember where it came from. But as I was reading, these fell out of the back pages. The yellow one is a bookmark from the store where it was purchased. It's fascinating to me that these have been sitting in this book, wherever it was laying around, all that time.

Lessee...June 14 of 1988...I was a week into a tour that would take me all over the midwest and by August would bankrupt me.  Good times.

Did you, by any chance, purchase a book by Sir Alec Guinness?

No.   We were mostly driving.  The only airport we encountered on that tour was Minneapolis.

Well, at that same time, I was enjoying summer vacation, having just completed, I believe, the 2nd grade. So I imagine we ended the summer having the same amount of money. Lol

Looking like 1-3 inches of snow here on Friday  into Saturday finishing as an ice mix.  People are loosing their shit!

Why do you need milk, bread and eggs for an apocalypse?  Are you supposed to have french toast?

Maybe they'll leave the eggs on the shelf, since they've gone up in price so much since the bird flu started killing the chickens.

Had to look up that Doctor Who song. As a fan of the show, I can say with certainty that the UK clearly had no other music to listen to that week.

Actually the farmers are killing the chickens to prevent spread.

I've been working in IT for 37 of the past 41 years.  I was working in IT before the term "information technology" had crawled out of the mind of some executive.  My tax returns still indicate that my occupation is "System Analyst," a title that went out of fashion in the early 90s. 

So it's a matter of some fascination to me that copying the data from the media server on my home network to a new machine is taking 30 hours.  Admittedly, my network is not built of the very latest technology, but it is a Mesh network with three nodes running an MLO backhaul.  It's the sheer size of the files that pushes the network to the wall.  The first computer I bought after Carol and I got married had a 40 megabyte hard drive.  Twenty years ago I marveled that I had pictures that were larger than that.  Now I have individual recorded instrument tracks that are larger than that. I have snare drum tracks that size.  Not the whole drum kit, just the snare part. 

And that's on top of a music library I have been digitizing since 2005 that now encompasses...I don't even know offhand...300 albums, maybe?  And there are a couple of hundred movies.  Thousands of photographs. 

I can remember when my life didn't have a digital footprint.  Now "footprint" doesn't really convey the magnitude. 

Down to 23 hours now.

While we got Rick queued up, how about a little Rick Roll for the banter?
Just love the choreography.

Slow news day. 

There was a fire at Yellowstone.  I think we were in Billings, MT when we heard about it.

Same difference to us egg lovers.
