Wife got the vegetable garden going over the last couple weeks, but still a bit still to plant. I put together about half a dozen containers of flowers today. Felt good to get out and get my hands...

I've never been there, but I'm guessing this is Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

Agree about all these. I also watched "Flying Blind" on Fox just to see Tea Leoni.

Centipede, Joust, BurgerTime, Zaxxon, Dig Dug, Spy Hunter...

Ooh, that's nice. Where is this?

Apparently the RE market in Seattle is still chugging along...

Obviously it's all about the land. There's a new light rail station opening more or less across the street in...

Same here. I prefer Lowe's in theory, but it seems like half the time I go there they don't have what I need. This seems much rarer at HD.

You sure you're not talking about Friends? :)

I loved Seinfeld, but got bored with Friends pretty quickly.

To me they were believable people. Okay, Kramer was a bit over the top, but that was his role.

Everyone hated the finale because it really didn't jibe with the rest of the series. That made them...

There's got to be, right?

When you stop and think about it it really is bizarre that women pay thousands of dollars to get water-filled pillows inserted into their body. Human beings truly are...

Combat.

What's the top speed with the tracks on?

Has anyone mentioned John Hughes' movies from the '80s yet? Vacation, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Weird Science, Pretty In Pink, Ferris Bueller, etc.

"It's true that I have a checkered past, but Ed here is an officer of the law twice decorated, so figure it kind of evens out..."

Ask Bonita Applebum.

ArriveCAN still required.

Those are the people who think anything is better than cold and snow.

He figured attempting suicide was still a better look than listening to Donald Trump's Covid advice.

I think more open houses probably means fewer offers AND realtors needing to drum up business.

I guess they think regular outlets are unsightly? Reminds of the trend a few years ago where many high-end kitchens had fridges that were all but indistinguishable from the other cabinets. I guess...

It is the second best Kona in the U.S., though. If I can't move to Beverly Hills, Michigan then Kona, Kentucky is next on my list.

And he had to park his fancy Jag in a big condo complex parking lot. Didn't even have covered parking as I recall--in fucking Vegas.

Bauhaus is soft and sanitized? I also don't think of new wave as "punk light" at all. I think they are quite different musical genres, although describing "new wave" as a specific genre it all is a...

The world going sideways?

Too me this list is a bit heavy on punk and a bit light on new wave and bands from the UK, but to each his own. I'd add some bands like New Order, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Church, Bauhaus/Love and...

Yeah, I can't imagine someone who makes a point of showcasing their Harry Potter collection is getting a lot of (unpaid for) sex.

I'm getting more of an incel vibe than a sex dungeon vibe.

Yep, got the tix. I last saw them in 2019, so yeah I agree Ian's voice is a bit rough, but I'm just glad he's still at it.

This will be my first time seeing the Furs live.

It's the third time it's happened in ten years...

Solid blast from the past. I was clearing out a closet a couple years ago and unearthed several of those Case Logic nylon zippered cassette cases. :)

This simply confirms what nearly everyone was already thinking. Any expert would have put this scenario at the top of their list whether they stated it publicly or not.

I've got two '80s bands on my concert calendar this summer: The Psychedelic Furs in August and Echo & The Bunnymen in September.

P.S. did any of you make it to the Cruel World Festival last...

The weather didn't cooperate in my neck of the woods. Kept looking for the moon, but it never made an appearance through the clouds during totality last night.

I could get behind her cause.

I just watched the first three episodes of the new Kids in the Hall on Amazon Prime. Some pretty funny moments. Fans of the original will enjoy it.

Visit to the nursery today. Flowers prices seem to be up like everything else. Serious sticker shock.

Well, The Damned beat both of them

I've been up once in March and once in April and didn't get the random test either time (my wife either).

This holds up.

It was, yes. Not overwhelmingly smoky, but tasty.

Has it been discussed yet whether "thrad" in the title was intentional or not?

So delicious. The last two breweries I've visited (Chuckanut and Ravenna) have had a rauchbier on tap. I thought that was a bit strange because you don't see them that often. Maybe they're starting...

Yes, definitely lucked out on the weather!

Yesterday was my birthday, so nice timing. Got there early and downed two happy hour beers before noon, too. :fm:

I finally got my rower fixed. It definitely wasn't as easy as I thought it would be, but now that I know how to do it I could make the repair again in about 15 minutes. Is that how these things go?

Played hooky yesterday and went to the Mariners game. Mariners lost, but great day for a game. Definitely beat working.

They could have just offered all lab employees free coffee. Win-win!

Update: this is exactly what happened. Guy comes in with just a wrench. Starts it up and say "yep, doesn't work." Also managed to scratch our dryer with his wrench. Bottom line is they're now...

So you're saying Covid's just not cool anymore?
