    Kathleen, I agree about not trusting things that aren't regulated (Uber, AirBnB, etc.) Part of my dad's job before he retired was making sure industries were meeting OSHA safety standards. I like things that are licensed and regulated. (And don't ask about the stories from when he worked for a construction company that did lots of work in Sauget.)

    Some years ago, before anybody complained, a little jewelry store on Cape Cod sold little charms (like for Gramma's charm bracelet) that were shaped like the head of a great white shark with a person's leg and shoe sticking out the mouth. I got one for my wife before they stopped selling them...greatest piece of jewelry ever!

    Mid 80s worked at large (about 1,000,00 square feet) commercial office complex. First month there opened mail and the electric bill was around $300,000. Took it to office manager and said someone made a BIG mistake. She said nope - that’s the bill for the whole complex. Still to this day (nearly 40 years later) can’t wrap my head around it.

    I thought the show had material from the Big Foot show tour ,was that due to medical issue and not time to do new material?
    No matter it was a great show. The opening act was superb as well.

    I read an article the other day on Palmer Luckey, the creator of Oculus on NPR. He sold the headset to Facebook and now he creates AI weapons for Ukraine. Pretty amazing weapons too. He's a billionaire several times over. He describes one of his weapons as, "It's a drone that fires out of a tube into the air and then unfolds itself, extends its wings, extends its tail, unfolds the propeller and transforms itself into a small airplane," he says. "It can carry up to a 30-pound warhead. So you've got a lot of punch in this thing.”

    Ms.K our formerly protective magnetosphere is weakening, allowing more solar photons & cosmic rays thru. sun spots & coronal mass ejections have greater impact. The awful weather extremes are the result. I'm at a friend's home w gas generator in Brazoria County TX. Our natural gas generator's control blew out. I don't know what else we can do to prepare...losing power & technologies really bites especially when the heat index is above 109°

When I was a kid it was called "Odd Lots" it took me forever to get use to calling it Big Lots once the name was changed people who didn't know what it use to be called would look at me strange when I said "Odd Lots" lol 😂
