I filled up Sunday morning at $2.29 - that same station is now at $2.79… GasBuddy shows a spread from $2.49-2.99 currently in this area…

Something fun for today, since the news is just so dire… a wonderful combination of mime, physical comedy, and puppetry...

Cool, looking forward to listening to it - coming up on the end of another multi-season series I listen to in the car, been looking for the next thing...

S.H.I.E.L.D. logo from Marvel

S.H.I.E.L.D. logo from Marvel

Shield of the Americas? Did Marvel not teach people naming weird governmental organizations anything?

The again, S.H.I.E.L.D. was kind overrun by Nazi-adjacent folks, so... could be on brand for these yutzes...

I know, right? It's one of those places you can't imagine not being there...

According to someone on Reddit (bag of salt grains, natch), they dropped their commercial mower sales and service department a few years ago, and that was the beginning of the end, losing corporate accounts.

Personally, I find *all* coffee undrinkable.

Like the smell of it, used to love walking by one of the stores in the mall that ground beans fresh. But the liquid? Absolutely vile...

That may be a regional thing - we still have Tagalongs here, but our area gets cookies from the Little Brownie Bakers, which means the *good* Thin Mints...

Your area is probably serves by the ABC Bakers, which has alternate versions of many cookies...

After 148 incredible years, the Mayo family has made the difficult decision to close Mayo Garden Centers.

This was not an easy choice. Changing business conditions and family circumstances have led us to the point where we must say goodbye to a company that has meant so much to our family and our community.

We are deeply grateful to the friends and customers who have supported us for generations.

Knoxville institution Mayo Garden Centers just announced they're closing after 148 years.

They're the oldest local business, first opened in *1878* as a seed store.

Haven't needed anything from them lately, but they were always there. One of those places that seemed like it always would be there.

It is kind of odd that the credit block on the back cover for SW has been altered - it reads “20th Century Studios” presents w/Lucasfilm, not “20th Century Fox”, as it should, since Studios didn’t exist in 1977…

The 2022 Region 2 release with this art still listed it as "20th Century Fox"...

Bill would require public TN universities to build a Charlie Kirk Plaza In an effort to honor the late conservative activist, two TN bills are looking to change free speech norms on campuses & require Charlie Kirk plazas.

What an absolutely stupid and unnecessary idea...

AI hands against an AI backdrop of beige books on shelves, holding a poster. The headline reads "Publish Your Book On On Oi Amazon with ease!" then there's an image of a man holding a book behind his back in a joint-cracking manner, and a bunch of garbage text that, in the way of AI, reads as if someone, probably you, has had a stroke.

While the books are great, I highly recommend you listen to the original radio series of HHGTTG first, as that's the original version, at least the first two series... the later books were adapted into series 3-5 (with all the surviving cast), and those are excellent as well...

I hear "perfectly normal", and my mind immediately goes to Douglas Adams' "perfectly normal beasts" from the fifth Hitch-hiker's Guide book...

"They come from where they come from, and they go to where they go to, and that it's Bob's will, and that's all there is to it.”

Post image

Been killing some time by making some new art for my office... found the original full-rez NASA image used in this meme, used the ACME logo from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and recreated it as a full-size 24x36 poster...

Now to get it framed... :)

Leonard Nimoy starred in that, IIRC. I came across a VHS of the pilot a few months ago in my archive, as I worked for the WB back then… I may even have the whole show saved on a DVCpro tape somewhere…

I remember liking it…

Looks like the vegetables was 1984, the fruits & nuts was 86...
Do you have a copy of the poster? Want me to send you the full recreation?
