Visiting hours at the animal hospital. Kitten boops a full-grown dog, who isn't sure what this means. Rescuing a sickly, skin-and-bones stray puppy. I'm not sure this dumpling preparation area is up to code. They probably have the mice under control, though. Smart dog realizes that discretion is the better part of valor. To the Cat-Poles! Horseplay at the beach. Galloping horses. I think they might be paso finos.

Did you know they are the keepers of the kelp forest? Without the sea otters, the sea urchins eat all the kelp and the beaches turn in to food deserts for the fish and other wildlife.
The coastline of northern Cali is starting to recover due to the voracious appetites of the otters.

killed off the commercial abalone industry along the central and
southern California coast and made it hard for sport divers to find
any abalones, let alone large, 12-inch ones. Many divers,
fishermen and even wildlife biologists worry that the otter is driving the abalone to extinction.

Years ago I worked for a roofing company that had their office in their home. This was in Florida. They had the most annoying Jack Russell ever. He would get under the deck and get stuck. I would call owner and tell her. She told me I had to crawl under the deck and get him out. I told her she could fuck off with that. Where we lived there were alot of snakes and gators. I quit that job, lol.

It's a short drive when you're immobile.
Also, wikipedia on abalones:
The animal has fimbriated head lobes and side lobes that are fimbriated and cirrated. The radula has small median teeth, and the lateral teeth are single and beam-like. They have about 70 uncini, with denticulated hooks, the first four very large.

A considerable trade in sea-otters' skins is carried on betwixt Russia and other nations. The Kamtschadales barter them with the Cossacks, and they with the Russian merchants. The Chinese are the principal purchasers of them from the Russians; and they pay for them at the rate of from seventy to a hundred rubles each.

whipped the delivery van into Monkey Wards loading zone across the street, flipped on the blinkys, told the kid "come with me" ...
slow (hot) afternoon; walk in the door, Tim is on the bar, "two darks" says I ... frosted steins from the freezer; I drained the first one in about 3 multi-gulps & signaled "again" ... the second one went a little slower, and being on the 29 pathway for the first time I made it back to the workplace intact, lol. but those days are gone where the woodbine twineth.

Ben, yes, it is so important. When I have a project going I don't like interruptions. We are retired, so it is no problem being up most of the night.
There is a saying about being retired, "We married for life, but not for lunch".

Mrs928 liked that Adam Homo that won one year, or maybe came in 2nd. He was headlining the event and we were going to be next door in WV so we bought tickets. The guy was 2 hours late, and totally plastered when he got there so he didn't even start until near midnight. By that time the real freaks had come out. I'm talking buttfuckery in the streets freaks.

I've heard Brit actors do impeccable Southern accents. One such actress I remember was on Jay Leno I think. He asked her to do a Southern accent.
She asked "Which one?" indicating she knew what she was about. She did three or four different ones, and schooled Leno on the differences.

Requires a certain sense of humor regardless of your geography. Binary result - funny if it hits the mark but nothing when it misses. The accent adds a presentation element for those not used so it in everyday life, but the underlying humor still needs to hold.

It wasn't on very long.
Personally, I think most British humor is shite.
It's not more sophisticated, especially standups. British men are like American women who try to do standup. We think it's funny cuz they're being crude, and it sounds funny when crude things come out of THAT mouth.

🚨#BREAKING: A former Boeing employee whistleblower has been found dead
📌#SouthCarolina | #USA
According to the BBC, John Barnett, a former Boeing employee known for raising concerns about the firm's production standards, has been found dead in Charleston County, South Carolina. Barnett had worked for Boeing for 32 years until his retirement in 2017. In the days before his death, he had been providing evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company. The 62-year-old died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on March 9, and police are investigating the incident.
🚨#UPDATE: Reports indicate that he was found dead in his hotel room right before his third day of depositions as a key witness in the case against Boeing. Some sources are reporting that he was found dead in his truck from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Y'all know *way* more than I do about the world of Ham.
Because I know, damn near zero. But, I'm heading in that direction. Oddly prompted, because Herself New Dawn wants to cut Comcast out, as much as possible. But, my I.T. guru told me the OTR antenna (here in Galveston), needs a 20 ft. elevation, in order to see over the horizon to the Sugarland, TX area transmitters.
So, I've built the mast. Near the top, it has three 15", radial arms, spaced 120 degrees apart. One for the OTR TV (aimable) antenna. One for a full function weather station. One, vacant, maybe for a CB Base Station? And the top of the Main Pole, available for a HAM aerial of one kind or another.
I'm aiming for Technician and General, out of the gate.
So, given the frequencies available/forbidden at that level, is there an antenna design or type which might "best fit" those parameters? Omnidirectional, please. And, I'm *not* wanting to log contacts from all around the world. I'm just wanting functional comms, after hurricanes or such.
My email is in my nic. Replying here is fine too, of course. Thanks in advance for y'all's help!

I want to be really clear about something the President absolutely did not apologize. There was no apology anywhere in that conversation. He did not apologize. He used a different word. I think what we should be really clear about is the facts... I think is it unconscionable that there are some people who are playing politics with this young woman's tragic murder.

Decatur Alabama shares an accent with French Lick Ohio?
Posted by: G'rump928(c) at March 11, 2024 08:45 PM (aD39U)
It's a fascinating map, but it's clear that the makers knew a whole lot more about northern accents than about Southern. What they have is not wrong; but if you spend some time traveling, you realize that each state has it's own unique accent. (roughly speaking, of course) The Carolina's have a very distinct accent, different than Georgia, which is different from Alabama.
I could go on, but I've made the point.

years ago Hubby and I lived in Illinois. We went to French Lick and stayed at a nice old hotel. Mainly we went so we could go to a casino nearby. I won 6,000 dollars, so it was an awesome trip.

Monty Python was on the PBS station in Dallas in the 1980s. It was a test market. Even as a little kid, I thought they were hysterical. Even more so now.

Oh yeah I first saw it broadcast on the PBS station in Phoenix in the mid 70's. They had been running a lot of BBC stuff, and this came with it. I remember I had never seen anything that funny in my life! And it's amazing to think that there was a day when PBS was actually on the top of my Must-See list.

That map is trying to capture the more broad base of the various subdialects, and not get into more granular detail.
You see how the "Inland South" comes in a sliver of the upper northwest corner of SC? I'm in the sliver. And we sound very different than someone not too far away.
My mother came from around Saluda, and her native accent was closer to the Lowland than ours.

There was linguist who gave a talk at Furman University years and years ago. My mother went there to hear him with some of her friends.
He could pin-point where you were born, or at least learned to talk to within 20 miles. Well, out East. Out west the granularity gets coarser.
And you couldn't fool him either. Someone would try to fake a different accent, and he'd spot it right away and most of the time get their real accent even through their put-on.

I've enjoyed messing around with that sort of thing myself since college. I'm nowhere near the "within 20 miles" category, but I can usually place someone fairly close. It's fun and I enjoy it, and I rarely if ever will disclose that I'm trying to figure something out. I just like to know.
