Never used it in an emergency myself, but read a long time ago that a 1000 foot spool of dental floss can be really useful. Pretty good tensile strength for its weight, though easily abraded.

No need to pack it in the Montana bush country, of course.

Have you missed riding along the border in the moonlighty night?

The trouble with losing weight while sitting on your ass is that most of the weight you lose is muscle. Guess how I know that. :mrgreen: And I have never in my life been even a little bit overweight, except the year my teen metabolism started to slow down and I hit peak lifetime weight at 19. (Then ...

But it seems no one who posts uses Twitter. Or (hope so for Pablo) no one who uses Twitter posts in the forums.

I'll look at Twitter sometimes, but have never and will not register.

Many of us have been there already, so you are not without company. And we all stand in the shadows of the old folks who went before. Wishing you peace and good weather.

Cows are also most dangerous because they're plotting bloody revolution and murder (watch how they watch us sometime), but we won't get into that here.

Monica?

That name seems familiar, for some reason . . . .

I know from observation that microwaves are water soluble. The Dish TV loses signal when it rains hard. :mrgreen: You know all those problems that the cable companies say you can avoid by having cable rather than satellite TV? We used to have them all... then we disconnected from the cable and got ...

Bookworm has been doing work on the Forum server and site lately, and it's possible he was doing some upgrades or other work on the main site as well. Or, it could be a bunch of the frozen bits in the Texas telecom wiring, finally melting and oozing out of the fibers. If you don't remember to unplu...

That sucks, Taz. Hope you can bounce back soon. I've been laid off or had jobs disappear out from under me more times than I could tell you offhand. I think this was the first big economic downturn when I didn't lose my job. And before that, I was expecting to be thrown overboard at the end of 2019,...

About the J&J--I'm glad to see the push for overcapacity now. We need to vaccinate the world, ASAP, and we could use some goodwill. Also, if this turns into a seasonal variant thing, like the flu, it will be a good investment.

Very happy to report that I got the notice to schedule an appointment this morning, and after several failed attempts (bugs in the site configuration, fixed within a few hours), I am scheduled for the first shot (Pfizer, I think) on Monday afternoon (March 15). That will be one year to the day since...

This past week, the county opened a mass vaccination center in a failed anchor store of an old regional destination shopping center. I registered for vaccination, but no recontact yet. It's set up to process 6000 people per day, but they had only 5000 doses this week, and something shy of 35,000 app...

Reasonably certain that Saturday Evening Post published Vonnegut, too. And they published Wibberley's Mouse that Roare d as a series. Loved that story when I was a kid. Not that wild for pinot noir as an adult, though. (Too soft. I like more astringent reds.) Lotta exposure to both SEP and Reader's ...

Then there was that weird series where Clara was stuck in the early 19th century, and mean people made her the queen. I got tired of waiting for the Doctor to show up, and bailed on that one.

I thought nunchucks were those big rosaries the Sisters of St. Joseph used to flog us in grade school.

Congrats! County where I live has about the same population as the state of Wyoming, but no county health department, and there is almost no supply of vaccine, and no coordination. Friends who have health issues who have tried to schedule an appointment are extremely pissed off. I'm just waiting for...

If I followed Pablo's explanation right, events in the strip happened about 8 years before the strips appeared. So, Owen and Lakshmi hooked up in 1997, but that strip ran in 2005.

As I often explain things, it only seems confusing because it is.

Nope. I didn't say it here, just linked to it.

Hope you're okay. Are you quarantining?
