My familiarity with this album is shamefully lacking--considering I got it in the '90s. (because "baffling people" is in the big huge mix compilation)

In #Moorhead they're going to PAR-TAY long into the (abbreviated) night #MSHSL

Always a pleasure to see local content like this

This is approximately related to "there's never time to do it right, but there's always time to do it over"

Now there's thoroughness! Daylight saving transition accommodated, as much as we hate it

I have about four versions of this floating around the album collection, but maybe not this one, and am still working on sorting out what's what: "version 2" on Substance 1987, live Joy division on Still, and two versions on the new reissue of Movement

If this had been released four years earlier, "The Power of Goodbye", and maybe "Sky Fits Heaven/Shanti Ashtangi" would be in my most important themed mix compilation. This album is in the portable player; I might listen to it tonight

In my hometown way back in the day, a local bank wanted, and built, branches that "didn't look like banks." They were widely reviled by the architectural community. But a bank should look like a bank: like, as an article in the local paper said, "a solid financial institution."

The \26owg\ folder on the removable hard drive. This is most of what was on NBC; the large majority of it scaled to 480p60

Some #MilanoCortina2026 after-the-fact musings. Now that the #Olympics have been over for a bit, it's time to watch some more Olympics

Placard, hanging from chain, with a keep-out pictogram on the side facing away (blank on near side); it used to be facing toward the camera and was distracting

Some #MilanoCortina2026 after-the-fact musings. At the bobsled/luge track, that placard hanging off the chain near the finish was a highly distracting (when on camera) keep-out sign. Later on in the Games, at least it got turned around when broadcasts were in progress

This is a day late... I should have paid closer attention to your picture. If you were to look left when taking your picture, would you have seen this?

[It looks like this has been answered] Is that Long Lake up Little Lakes Valley, looking south, around late noon? Looks familiar

#MilanoCortina2026 Closing Ceremony: The only athletes apparel Epic Failure I noticed was with the Italians. But this only applied during the parade[s] of nations, not during the Games. And I did see at least one exception during closing, so it might not have been an arbitrary bombshell

#MilanoCortina2026 Closing Ceremony: Looks like #TeamUSA athletes have different look for closing: they seem to be the only ones who ever do. It was done right this time around too. Another aspect of the parade of flagbearers could have been blown but was done absolutely spot-on right too

I probably didn't pay enough attention: For quite a while I thought Puerto Rico WAS a state and wondered why it was missing from lists of US states

See the best Olympic opening ceremony outfits of the 2026 Winter Games As the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics begin, all eyes are on teams from around the globe proudly donning their countries' uniforms for the opening ceremony, including Team USA in outfits designed ...

The #TeamUSA look gotten right (so far at least). Good to see: still recalling the (last minute it would appear) highly upsetting bombshell Epic Failure of 2014. 2010 and 2018 were done right too. I don't remember offhand if 2022 was #Olympics #MilanoCortina2026

Twin Cities knitting pattern used to protest ICE reaches across the world Many have now seen the masses march in Minneapolis calling for an end to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations. But some are choosing a silent expression of protest with Scandinavian roo...

Sorry, no. 1: I want to reduce bring negative connotations to the word "ice" not emphasize them, and 2: I've had Ravelry permanently blacklisted since first taking a look back in the 2010s due to severity and negativity. Interesting idea otherwise
