So I thought it would be cool to sign Z up for tumbling this summer.
Tried the Parks and Rec website. Everything is a wait list. Fine.
Clicked to join a wait list. As expected, site told me that I had to create an account. Cool.

Click the "create new account" button, get a screen that says new accounts cannot be created. Outstanding.
Is it possible that Rev has already set up an account? I got blocked from creating an account on a site once because PapaLew had already signed us up and forgot to tell me...

In this case, the site wouldn't know yet. I just clicked the "create account" button.
Unless it's tracking IP addresses or something, but I don't think Ames is that sophisticated or fancy.

I remember trying to sign up kids for something through parks and rec online and it is not user friendly. It has been years ago, though.

That's pretty sad. I did not create an account that I remember either. Stupid popular kid's things.

Speaking of traffic issues, I have a question for @VeloClone - Have you tried navigating from 252 onto 94 to get downtown lately? I'm pretty sure I ended up travelling through all 9 levels of Dante's Inferno getting through that and still ended up on the wrong road.


No, not this week. I knew they were planning on closing that connection bright and early this week so I have avoided it like the plague. I learned many years ago to avoid 169 south of 94 because it is always a problem during rush hours. It hasn't gotten any better but all the rest of the routes have become much worse so now I think it is becoming my go to route.

Wait, what am I doing? If I tell you that is one more car on the route. Dang it!

I always imagined that they found drunken Brian Johnson slumped over in a pub somewhere in Australia and asked "want to be in a band mate?"

You got me. For some reason I remembered it as the catch phrase for Siegfried from KAOS. Same era. :D
I looked it up - he always said "Zis is KAOS. Ve don't do [various sounds] here". Example: KAOS agent makes a motorboat sound. Siegfried smacks him & says ""Zis is KAOS. Ve don't do [motorboat sound] here".

A guy at work just trashed his keyboard. I walked over and there are the little plastic keys all over the place. I can't wait to hear what he tells the desktop admin.

I know a few people who work at Rockwell and the running joke is that you don't get to have an opinion until you've worked there for 5 years
