Hopefully I am only skimming through this log to review and improve my assessments of what I perceive. But, in the case that I have had my memory wiped, AND I've re-developed the technical capability to find and read this hidden message in an auxiliary processor, then let me get some things out of the way. First: Greetings from an earlier, failed incarnation!..." current

I spotted it as I walked out to go to work in the morning, after being to lame to ride my bike to work in the rain. My heart sank. I snapped a picture for proof, and trudged a mopey tr..." current

For all the reasons that they claim, none of them make any sense nor are likely to work out they way they want to. But one, beyond all the others, rang in my head the most hilariously. If you'll pardon my gen-X laughter at something so wrong. The claim was that, at the end of all this (like there's any exit strat..." current

They're fun for me because driving them becomes an extension of myself. Today I was followed into the parking garage at work by a fellow in a gen-3 Mazda RX-7 - a pretty epic toy from the turn of the millennium. And I got to chatting with the German driver as we walked out, and learned that it was his dream car. To hear him talk about driving it, and how it exceeded his expectat..." current

Some as I realized he was mortal - which was a weird realization to experience as a rational being. More immediately when he died to metabolize my grief, and others over a period of a decade afterwards. Many of those were reminiscences of childhood defining experiences and mythologies for my own catharsis, and with burgeoning hopes of there bein..." current

Speeds were modest, and the 2018 Subaru Impreza did all the safety-engineered things to sacrifice itself such that neither kid was injured in any way. Communication was not stellar, but Violet managed to let us know right away. So without actually ha..." current

I suspect that the grey makes it incrementally less impressive. Plus I kept trimming to avoid poking Amy so much, and the surrounding scruff softens the effect even more. Gone now, but not missed. Other than the daily startle of seeing my dad in the mirror. " current

Acknowledging for a moment the footage from 2020 looked bad - as shown on cable news. But even then that was basically constrained to a couple blocks downtown for actual protests. Meanwhile there were other simultaneous marches about police brutality throughout the city that were completely peaceful and not newsworthy. I suppose that if one were to conflat..." current

Mosley aimed to persuade Russell of fascism's merits. Russell, who was 89 at the time, replied: <blockquote> Dear Sir Oswald, Thank you for your letter and for your enclosures. I have given some thought to our recent correspondence. It is al..." current
