You know you're getting old when you can say "52 years ago I saw Hair". Today, I saw Hair again. This time I was 'front and centre', and dang it was good. The previous time meant I was sweating out the dates and times for my potential Conscription, and the Musical was pretty darn relevant. Part of the Architecture 'Sociology' course was to sit in on a County Court trial of a Draft-Dodger.... In '72 I had a beanie my mum knitted and I sewed in a peace sign [in wool] and wore it 'al...

Just thought I'd say Happy Easter to everyone, hope you have a great day!
We don't generally allow politics on the forums.  With the obvious exception of The Political Machine.  The Political Machine - The Power of the Presidency Can Be Yours! Forums But the world trade situation is probably something worth discussing provided people can avoid assuming "the other" are stupid or evil or greedy or whatever.   Now, I'm a child of Michigan USA.  Detroit area.  That means cars.  And I can say, regardless of political association, t...

I'm home from having my gallbladder out (laparoscopic surgery). To say I'm in pain understates my position. It's mostly the nerve pain in my (right) shoulder, I guess common with the gasses they use to expand the abdomen? Anyhow. I'm not sleeping well at all, or for long and am feeling more than little under the weather so if you guys want to share a pic, of your pets, of your workspace, of that which inspires you, I'd love to see it. This is Finnley. ♥ Lots of love.

As a father myself, let's all have a great one!
When I look at the people who have gotten "canceled" over things they posted on the Internet, it's disproportionately GenXers.   Why is that? I think it's the awkward timing. GenX grew up on BBSes and Usenet which were a free for all.  It wasn't until the Millennials and later GenZ came on the scene that the raunchy, insensitive, or intentionally trolling behaviors of GenX got us into trouble.
