Have you ever stopped by the LL Bean home store in Freeport? It is a very interesting experience, and not just for the bargains. Tour companies run busses up there every day from Boston. It is one of the places I stop any time I'm in the area.

Let me change the spelling and see if that helps.

It's not news. It is from the Onion, which publishes satire. Is someone taking the Onion seriously? (or did I miss the joke?)

Thanks. My engineer's brain wouldn't allow me to do that until I had analyzed the math. It was fun.

Happy Birthday, Spot.

I chuckled and then marveled at the elaborate technique he must be forced to use to "comb" his hair.

I always find it to be interesting and amusing, when there is something significant happening in the stock market, to hear or read what the "experts" say is the cause. No two agree and the explanations are all over the map.

I'm very glad that the tsunami warning was lifted. I know a few people who were probably jolted from sleep by the sirens before it was lifted.

It was an interesting reminder, reading the stories of what those in Hawaii thought and did, the people running down the street, and the utter helplessness that they felt, of older times. The threat, of course, never actually went away - only the perception of the threat. Oh well...

I thought it was very thoughtful of Mr T to give everyone a new term to describe his mouth.

After all the lies he spouted before the last vote, I'm surprised he even opens his mouth these days.

<t>Trump's presidency would be a slapstick comedy akin to those about the drunk kids who lost their cars or whatever, if it didn't have real life consequences. I really don't know if he is so delusional that he thinks people adore him and what he is doing or whether he is just plain dumb. ...

<t>I'd really like to see an election that is about issues - not personalities.

<t>I agree with you Lars. We can see the feedback loops in action every day. Unfortunately, I don't see a way to break the loops, of whatever type they may be.

Yes, she is. I don't recall any past presidents ever saying about themselves that they are "like, really smart" and a "very stable genius". I'm sure that this set off a few alarm bells with mental health professionals.
