Put on this old Phil run Tshirt and had to pause when I realized these shows were a quarter century ago. Man, it all goes way too damn fast.

I missed the Golden Era of Phil and Friends, but I did happen to be working in San Fran in 2015 and got to Terrapin Crossroads, I agree that the scene was wonderful. Small, friendly, chill.

Saw him, also in 2015 in NYC with Stanley Jordan and J Kadlicec.

It was nice, JK knew how to guide the material back around when needed, SJ knew how to do that SJ thing.

David Dayen has a piece in the prospect (you can find it easy enough, I don't want to be a link pusherman)

He blames public anger on the whole "enshittification" and it's predecessor, "crapification"

I wish I had captured the experience on video, but there was some app I was forced to use that made me select my birthdate by clicking ONE DAY AT a time backwards from now().

Use the app please.

I have some delta ticket refunds that are going to expire if I do not use them.

As much as I think the sphere, and vegas, and dead music are a bad combo.

Some old good friends are going in July, and it would be nice to see them.

You can make a vegas trip nice by adding a day at Red Rocks, by just driving out to the desert.

We went "meteorite hunting" once which is really just walking around a salt flat looking for rocks, and it is great silent fun.

still undecided..

Or I could fly to Seattle, visit some gardens and nurseries, and bring back a bunch of plants like rhododendrons that are hard to purchase here.

A suitcase full of plants, or fish for steelhead or something,

LoL, sort of answers itself doesn't it.

A third option came to mind, and that is visit a friend in Montana who is ill.

I am suffering from a tick borne infection of some sort,

Basically the protocol at least at urgent Care centers is.

Tick bite, + symptoms => A course of antibiotics.

I am cool with that, and glad I didn't go to my doctor who may have been less likely to prescribe.

So yeah, FYI, if it is more than just the usual itch, and your lymph nodes get in on the action, visit a doctor.

We need an AI agent that goes out and kills ticks, a hummingbird sized tick eater.

Here's my fedi advice

Unfollow any and all of the super booster accounts. Build your feed organically.

I'm not sure why exactly, but it worked well for me. For one thing the "look at me senpai" energy around some of their followers is very Twitter style parasocial. And they're just subbing for an algo.

If you rely on them for most of your TL, do this first: follow anyone interesting that they boost for a week, then unfollow. It's easy.

If you don't want to, ok. Don't bother arguing with me

@tor_haxson@heads.social avatar

@mrcompletely

I purged my feed of the accounts with many followers-followees.

Also I moved from the "always followback" rule, to only followback the little people.

Autonomous trucks?

You know how you can move 200 truckloads of freight with less than 200 truck drivers..???

A train !!,

That's right 200 year old technology, no LIDAR required, no collision detection system.

Have any of you ever used, rented or purchased one of them there powered wheelbarrows?

I have tons of woodchips to move on steep terrain. Not so steep that a strong 24 year old couldn't handle it.

So are those things better than a strong 24 year old?

tor_haxson,
@tor_haxson@heads.social avatar

@mrcompletely

There are battery powered ones, and gas ones.

I should share a picture of my wood chip mountain, it is hilarious.

I told the arborists they can dump in my city lot that is basically a ravine. And they do, a LOT !!

The soil is clay, and I am trying to grow rhododendrons, so I need all the mulch and organic matter I can get.

But it is pretty funny. I think the foxes may have dug a test den in one spot so I leave that alone.

The box turtles think it is hibernation heaven.

I dunno man, ever since 1977 turtles everywhere have cast off the yokes and are no longer beasts of burden, now they mostly dance, and play tambourines (poorly, they have no hips)

@UncleJimmy Uncle Jimmy,

As a new entry to the I need to ask, and I mean no offense.

Is this today's photo of Marley?

If so I think he is a contender for the leader board, but if this is NOT todays photo, by all means put Marley on that couch, the day is not over.

We will await your response..

The son who avoided a TBI this morning has delivered! As promised, Cupcake is on her back in play-off form taking full advantage of the perfect combination of full sun, perfect temperatures, and a cool breeze.

Pinchy is definitely over-performing in her favorite indoor nap spot. She's typically in a tight curl, so the full extension curl with chin perched on paws is a high degree of difficulty and a real stretch for her.

Another tortoise shell cat napping in an elongated curl on a blue sheepskin in a modern chair.

Yeah, Pinchy takes the lead, let me update the leader board

tor_haxson,
@tor_haxson@heads.social avatar

@wobs it has everything, a simple move with an added flourish, a location, a composition.

Is Lily still in that box? Because this place is getting hot.

How Hot?

Hotter than the sphere that is for sure, I mean who could sleep in a place like that?

I watch a lot of TV while sitting with my Mom.

Happy Mothers Day everyone.

Hitting the dregs with Martha Stewarts latest Garden Series.

OMG, it is like an access TV show at times. Obviously she is not taking much outside advice.

It is a lot like, "rich eccentric lady plays around with money and land"

She discussed the price of mahogany for raised garden beds !!

Her friends, are.. well they want the advertising, or the $$

It is not all bad, but enough bad to make it fun.

@mrcompletely

In her defense, she went with white oak, but the fact that she mentioned mahogany is just ridiculous. Any sane content editor would have cut that out.

In 5 short days, we will be having a

So set your clothes, or shoes, or shoeboxes or piles of assorted stuff in the sunny spot, and get ready.

Work on your Curls, Otterpaws, BasketLegs, Long Stretches and Cat-stacks.

It will be pretty exciting.

Bigger than Derby Day, almost as long as a cricket match.

Charge your cell phone cameras, be ready to record audio in case of snoring.

It will be wild.

On May 16th, Dead & Co begin a historic run at the Sphere. I asked my cats how they intend to celebrate.

Girl Trouble:
Fuck Those Clowns.
Every show is like 6-25-94 now.
So Vegas is appropriate. I will ignore this and sleep all day.

StroopWaffel:
I think I will sleep mostly.

The other cats were more or less of the same opinion,

So while the Boys (or what's left of them) play inside a giant cellphone screen.

We will be having a 5-16-24

Start training now !!

How many USB cables are needed in order to have ONE, just one, that is nearby when I need it?

Is there some mathematical principal, like logX/number of rooms, * number of cars
