Think about all of the high school kids who if they have ever seen a record being played it is just so that some schmo can scratch the living daylights out of it pushing it back and forth on the turntable.

One of the side benefits of the old vinyl LP's was using them to roll numbers. :rolleyes:

You need to take 94 again. It is now all lanes open most of the time in both directions without the lowered speed limit.

Thank the maker...
I believe your job has something to do with designing and/or building things and I think you work for the city so I'll thank you fixing this mess and I'll assume you're the maker.

The reason there is two Brooklyns is that half of the city of Brooklyn Center didn't want to be associated with Brooklyn Center so they started their own City and named it the more upscale Brooklyn Park. (How bad does a city have to be to make half of the city turn on itself?) That went great until the new city elected some professional wrestler as their mayor...
But you have a beautiful city hall because of him.

Boxster should thank him also since the only initiative I can think of that he accomplished as governor was lowering the registration costs on luxury automobiles (and personal watercraft).

Just took my son out to the Mexican joint up town since he's been doing well and in a good mood. I don't know if its that or the moldy bread but I have been to the bathroom 6-7 times in the last two hours, and Im not exaggerating. This blows, literally.

Was it hothothothot?

Not even that minimalistic. I would have preferred we had the Army issue opener for the scene but we had something more like this just a little more compact with shorter handles.

Amazingly, we had a college kid working at my office as summer help. Could not figure out how to use one. He is now an officer in the Army.

Thats his name, couldn't remember it. Thought someone killed him, gf iirc. Didn't think he died like the king.
If I had the jimlad, I would have used it on that post. I didn't think I needed it when I said he died from eating Colon Blow cereal. ;)

Hartman was a genius. I loved him on News Radio.

I don't even think this is his best work on there.

You could probably find yoga exercises on line. Be cheaper and you could go at your own pace.
Our cable company has yoga videos free on demand. I think it would get pretty old but would at least point in the direction of what type of yoga you enjoy.

Vinyl is coming back to a certain degree. Quite a few kids have been getting record players the last couple of years.

Yes, I build sand castles. Although it is more of a hobby than job. And I build them out of cardboard or whatever I can find under the highway underpass rather than sand. And they are more shanties than castles. So yes, that probably qualifies me as The Maker.

BTW, can you spare any change?

Don't know if it is still true and don't care enough to actually look it up, but when I moved here Brooklyn Park was the 6th largest city (by population) in all of Minnysoda.

Confession time. My nephew had a turntable, and mine had been broke for a looonnggg time. So I gave him my album collection, under the condition that one day I might want it back. Ten years go by (or more) and my new son-in-law gets a turntable. My daughter asks me for the album collection. Hmmm, bummer. My nephew seemed okay with it. But not to be a total azz, I let him pick 10 albums out that he wanted. He took some good ones -- mostly LZ and PF.

What does this even mean?

If one takes out the trash, is leaving one’s front door open an error in the trash?

Someone sent me an email about an issue that belongs to his team and not mine. I responded back that all I do is start the process and that a member of his team changed something on 9/04/2017 and now it is failing. That was the response I get back.

I resisted all temptation and forwarded it to his boss and mine that I wasn't going to dignify that with a response. 90% chance I get another email trying to pin the problem on me again tomorrow.
