Re: Beaver Dams 2023-09-25

Or a tribe of beaver over years . . . the largest beaver dam I ever saw was 8-10 feet (3-3.6m) high and 500-600 feet (150-180m)long . . . they'd been expanding it for at least ten years at that time, according to my late father, who had seen one (long gone) even larger maybe twenty years before. --F...

Re: That's It 2023-09-20

I'd say that it's more a personal trait of Valerie . . . some people tend to over-think things, and usually the wrong things.

Re: Believing 2023-09-14

berkelianism . . . the idea that things only exist because they are observed.

Re: Crack Pot Story 2023-08-31

There's a short movie about stairs in the woods too, though I don't know much about the "plot". I never cared enough to look.

Re: Crack Pot Story 2023-08-31

No, it's the stairs in the woods that are a cause for concern... I've seen those, a sturdy freestanding staircase made to reach an upper story entrance to a house that no longer exists, I even remember when the house was still being lived in for at least one of them. I've seen several of those . . ...

"Older than dirt", huh?


I once asked an older co-worker why they had invented dirt . . .

He tried to pretend he was mad, but he was laughing too hard.

I was a reader, so my parents bought me a set of books.

Ah. I've encountered vehicles like that . . . I also encountered a Canadian Kenworth that had been completely rewired . . . entirely with white #10 wire . . . my father wound up striping the wires with colored felt markers. Fortunately it was a 1973 off-road, so it didn't have much wiring, since the...

Re: More Stuff

I did okay with HughesNet . . . aside from the ping time and data limits. I hit the limits a time or two . . . when I did I went to bed and it was back in the morning once the limits had rolled over. I took that as a sign that I had the right plan. Then Frontier finally got around to adding more DSL...
