Vibes, mate. I remember seeing the footage at the time and being appalled. To actually be doing search and recovery there? Wow. I can't even imagine.

My statement was a little misleading. After rereading it, I stated, "30 years ago was the Oklahoma City bombing." The bombing took place on 19 April 1995. 30 years ago, is when the bombers were indicted on 10 August 1995. Sorry for the mix-up. My brain wanders between thoughts sometimes. Reading an article about the indictment pushed my brain back to that terrible day in April of that year.

I am depressed. 30 years ago was the Oklahoma City bombing. I was a first responder on the scene. I was stationed at the Naval Reserve Center, and we sent several personnel with the proper experience and skills to the bombing scene to assist in search and recovery. It took me almost a decade to get over that, and even today it still haunts me.

Yesterday, Jen Pawol was the first female umpire in MLB history! She called both games of the Marlins/Braves doubleheader. Today, she will be behind the plate.

Phone, I only rarely use even texts. Apps are not in my lexicon.

Arriving early or fashionably late? (and why?)

I loved her in the X-Files but have never got around to The Fall.

I had the hots for Gillian Anderson when the X-Files came out. (Along with 50% of the viewers)

I watched 'Major League' (1989) last night. It was not as good as I remembered it, but Bob Uecker was still great.

My brain turned off Friday night, and I started doing better this afternoon. Taking it easy and had fried rice and Cajun chicken to eat.

The Cubs won today to win the series against the Baltimore Orioles. At least that made me happy.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

I am finally writing again. First time in three years.

I am going to watch 'Superman' with my nephew in one hour. Looking forward to this latest re-boot.

Mars!!! Since I was a child, I have dreamed of going to space! I would be glad to take Elon with me. He is a true genius, and Earth would love getting rid of his self-centered, entitled ass.

Cookout or restaurant?

(ppst. It's my birthday)

Happy Birthday!!!!

Sounds like you had a fantastic trip and a great time!

The Mets are playing well and had a great chance to make the playoffs. With Judge out, the Mets are the best team in NYC.

This one looks like fun. Soldiers in Vietnam apparently end up in the Cretaceous or something. Dinosaurs galore and the effects look pretty good, at least in the trailer. And some of the dinos have feathers!! A known, demonstrated fact about dinosaurs that the Jurassic Park/World movies haven't really touched yet. It's low budget, so may not be exactly Jurassic Park level but give me some well done dinos (WITH FEATHERS!!!!), and I'll be in.

It is due out a week before my birthday, and I am looking forward to watching it.

Summer or winter?

I am going to see Superman on Wednesday. I am interested in how they handle this new reboot. (Is this the 32nd reboot? 🤣)

Resort. My camping days are behind me.

Beach or mountains?

The buzz on rpg.net, where there are tons of comic books geeks, is generally positive. And the Surfer is apparently the best character for some of them. They're pretty happy with the FF, too, this time. And no one could possibly screw it up as badly as the 2007 Rise of the Silver Surfer.

It was very different from the original Fantastic Four mythology, but they covered it at the start of the movie by noting it was Earth-282. This is not the universe of the original FF.

The movie was good. I would rate it 7 of 10, and I tend to be a tough rater.

Binge. I cannot help myself.

Fantastic Four or Superman?

Going to watch the Fantastic Four movie today. I hope it turns out well despite them screwing up the Silver Surfer storyline.

Watching 2nd season of SG-1

I choose hunger!

Hibachi or BBQ?

I am... doing prep for my colonoscopy tomorrow. Isn't life grand? 😲😨😠

Quote by Mendalla

Oo, thank you. Figured it would be a bit complicated given the size. It's interesting how many places are better to visit in Spring or Fall. Greece is like that. Summer is hot and crowded so a lot of people recommend May-June or Sept.-Oct. We're going in September.

It sounds like a great time! Please post some pictures.

I am, and for right now, that is enough.

Roland, I hope your divorce is as quick and painless as it can be. Mine was 25 years ago.

I was served in early September 2024. It has been long and argumentative, but I am getting almost everything I asked for.

A horse. Camels are mean and nasty.

milk chocolate or dark chocolate.

Pepsi. Mountain Dew is my drink of choice, but IBC is my favorite brand.

With your significant other; alone time at home or out doing things?

I always marvel at how different things are today compared to my early life. Last night I came across an article from one hundred years ago. It reminded me of the huge advances are country and culture have made.

21 July 1925: The Scopes Trial ended with John Scopes being found guilty of violating the Butler Act.

I am going to see a movie tomorrow with my BIL and friend, Vernon. (He used to write stories on here)

Friday, I am expecting good news from my lawyer concerning my divorce.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful and blessed day

How far did you go? There's the original trilogy, then Asimov's additional sequels and prequels from the eighties that tied Foundation to his robot novels, and then the Second Foundation trilogy written by three other sf authors commissioned by the estate after Asimov's death. I read the original trilogy around the time Foundation's Edge, Asimov's first sequel came out but didn't get through all his add-ons let alone the post-Asimov works.

This time, just the original.

Modern, but I still enjoy classical music.
