Retired CTO for a school district in the south suburbs of Chicago. Now officially a tech curmudgeon. What used to be holidays with relatives has turned into a lifestyle. You wont find much original because my life is boring but I will amplify and discuss.
@richardgunther Who wears plaid at work? I have this picture in my head of someone in a white banlon shirt with plaid knee length shorts. 🙂
@freakwater Not to mention those slackers going to school. Time to abolish child labor laws.
@michaeldmobley 100 years from now, we'll find out he was a deep cover Russian spy.
@Cossie3 That gives me the queezies just looking at it.
@wdlindsy Unfortunately, I am afraid that this holds a mirror up to show who we are as a country. 8 years ago, we enabled the worst parts of our society and now find that very well be who we are as a nation. He embodies our worst traits and more than half of the country voted for him and want what he represents. There are a huge number of people who do not want this but it is a long hard road to take our country back.
@michaeldmobley It's good to be the king!
@Whatusaymark Concur. Also am tired of the books that I buy "um rent" on Amazon. If I pay $10 for a book so I can make the type larger, I should own it.
@ubiquiti_fanatic @Cossie3 There is a guy laying in the trunk with his arm trying to hold the refrigerator in for when the plastic wrap gives and slides off of the bottom. That's not judgement. That's a disaster that is going to happen.

@sjtr71 Thanks a lot. Now I have to dig out my dvd. It's been a couple years since I watched the Music Man. Been looking for something to watch. Like the original much more than the knock off with Matthew Broderick.
@flexghost Apparently, Walgreens ill-advised location building plan that put stores within a mile of their other stores or across the street from any CVS didn't work out so well.
@zackwhittaker What hacks me off about this is not that they know about my atrial fib etc. but that my social security number was apparently included. None of these companies should be allowed to use that for identification. When they lose their data (not if anymore), my SSN is too dangerous to me in the wrong hands!
@sjtr71 I love that film with the exception of the scene of Blair Brown supposedly trying to act frustrated/sad/teary at the sink just before the train is leaving Chi to go back to the mountains. Kind of hard to watch.
@Cossie3 In the event of an earthquake, sit on the toilet
@georgetakei At least the teacher had a sense of humor. Didn't help the grade but got a laugh.
@AE4WX @richard @internetarchive Like Reinsdorf cares! 😞 Maybe I can follow the Orioles from here. Since I buy the hat for every team the grandkids are on, I can already represent. 🙂
