packet radio van

“The Packet Radio Van was a GMC Value-Van refitted by Don Cone at SRI International, and equipped with technology that was used in the first two-way internetworked transmission on August 27, 1976, and the first three-way internetworked transmission on November 22, 1977, the latter of which is considered the start of the Internet.”

Took Kusama too! These are some times.
My wife said she wants to be in heaven’s waiting room this week with those three. “Imagine the chitchat!”

A cinema here used to play the Rocky Horror every Friday night at midnight and 18/19 year old me and a couple of friends decided to go along, not even really understanding what it was all about. When we arrived we found half the cinema was dressed like the characters. They had umbrellas and they threw rice in the air (IYKYK) and yelled out dialogue at certain points along the way.
The crowd sang along and interacted with the film as if it was scripted. We we're blown away!
So months later we all decided to go again and this time we'd dress up too, which was a huge extroverted thing to do for this bunch of introverts. When we arrived, pretty impressed with our efforts, we discovered that nobody else had dressed up that night just us. Worst best night of our 18/19 year old lives thus far 😁
Vale Tim Curry and thanks for the shows
also could we not just have one day to mourn Dolly alone

My favorite memory is 4 of us showing up with 10lbs of rice each.

I'm from the south but I'm also like this
On more than one occasion I've used "gonna sneak right past ya" IRL.
I saw one of those animated LED open/closed signs while at a stoplight today. It read OPE and I was like... wow I get it, but here in the PNW? and then the N lit up...

Titan

A brown dog with a white nose and paws lays in a large fluffy dog bed in a typical living room. One ear is sticking straight up like a radar dish.
It's international dog day, so here's Titan, our new dog. He's a rescue like our previous pup. He was at animal control for six months with little known about his background. We were a little nervous bringing him into a home with cats. It's working out well. (I think) he thinks the cats are small, funny looking dogs.
He's mostly farts and fur, but he's a good boy. We got lucky again. 🥲
He also sleeps funny: https://mltshp.com/p/1RV5P

ethereal grace
alt text
"In Dallas for the premier of '9 to 5,' I had an uncanny experience, and on the plane home to Chicago I confessed it to Siskel: I had been granted a private half hour with Dolly Parton, and as we spoke I was filled with a strange ethereal grace. This was not spiritual, nor was it sexual. It was healing and comforting. Gene listened and said, "Roger, I felt the exact same thing during my interview with her." We looked at each other. What did this mean? Neither of us ever felt that feeling again. From time to time we would refer to it in wonder."

Yes, the universe wanted her back.

A large brown dog sen from above as he lays flat on the white tile kitchen floor.
Our new dog lays down like a spatchcock chicken. More: https://mltshp.com/p/1RV5O
I call this position the "frog dog" but the internetz calls it a "sploot." Either way the end result is cool tummies and smiles all around.
Hail the power of the orchiectomy!
My son's dog does this all the time, she hardly lays down without a full sploot on the floor.
In keeping with a theme
MASSIVE bike upgrade!

One of my Presta valves on my gravel bike died, so I used it as an excuse to try out Clik valves. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN MORE EXCITED???????
I mean, I'm not a valve guy, but... I reckon that is a seriously good looking (new) valve
@Argie it has one or two tiny issues- it's harder to let air out of the tire, and regular presta pumps work but think the tire pressure is higher than it actually is- but the'yre a breeze to install and the top won't bend like the top of as Presta loves to do.
Are there different pumps or adapters available? I’m interested in these but already support 2 valve formats among our bikes.

Teutonic cheese

An old advert (from the early 60's) for cheese, it shows different slabs of cheese piled up, some fruit here and there and a cheese knife stuck in one of the holey cheeses.
Text reads "Käse ist eine Gaumenfreude!" or "Cheese is a delight for the palate!"

What I saw

Yesterday, my partner and I walked through the woods by his family's camp to find this. He said you could go upstairs in it when he was a kid in the 80s, but it's looking a lot worse now.
There are three desks upstairs, two of them being old school desks. Downstairs, we also saw a typewriter in its case, books and board games, and more children's toys (which was kind of creepy).
There is also an entire pallet of industrial-sized cans of green peas there on the second floor. And many around the structure. That was the weirdest part.

By way of Bremerton, WA.
On playa I’ll be living at Hobo Camp, 6:00/A. Stop by a spell and have a drink with me. Or come get some beans at noontime any day during Burn Week.

Isn't Bremerton in the opposite direction? In any case, have a good time!

Porcelain sculpture depicting a nude, white-skinned woman laying on a stylized dais. From her torso emerges a blackened, skeletal figure who is peering closely into the woman's face. A third humanoid figure bursts from the lumbar of the skeleton, arching to face the sky, with an effusion of flowers bursting from the figure's face.
