Hah! At the time it came out, my friend group also refused to acknowledge H2's existence, referring to is as "the Scottish movie" - H3 being "the Scottish movie, part 2".
Sent this letter to @wyden.senate.gov and @merkley.senate.gov ... I don't know what else to do. This situation is intolerable.

the duration of that dude's 'cancellation' was shorter than most zoom calls.
In a moment of gorgeous symmetry, watching this video made me laugh so hard I choked on my sandwich and had to give myself the Heimlich maneuver on the edge of the kitchen counter.
rip #pdxtst ... bluesky storm team doesn't quite have the same ring to it
looks like recent model runs and the low's track northward have downgraded the severity of the event, thankfully.

GEEK USA still the best guitar solo Corgan ever recorded.
Good seeing ya at Tabor earlier! Greta is also cuddled on the couch, KO'ed after our run.
