Living next to KDCA. Nice neighbors though sometimes loud. I don't own a car. I do own a bike. Cat in picture isn't mine. He was just inspecting my bike.

I have had that thought while I'm them. There do seem to be short patterns. But that could also be an illusion.

If it exists, I figure that neb knows MRI music.

And now I've ordered Risen Empire and Slow Birds.

A digitally drawn homage to the George Herriman comic strip Krazy Kat. Starting left of frame we see yellow Ignatz Mouse having just thrown a brick which is sailing across the center of the frame and in another instant will bash the oblivious Krazy Kat (a blue bipedal cartoon cat wearing a red scarf) in the back of the head as he walks innocently to the right. Everything is drawn in rough black pen and colored in pale washes. A speech bubble from Ignatz reads β€˜Maybe it will…’, the word ’Happen’ appears in the whooshing trail of the sailing brick, and a final speech bubble belonging to the Kat reads β€˜β€¦Today’.

And it's not a peeve at you. I'm annoyed by them. You're doing good work here.

Fair enough. At least they could have given them dissimilar names like American with Piedmont, Republic, etc

Anyway, it's just a peeve of mine. Nothing serious.

A peeve tangent

I want them to change their name. Eastern Air Express (BBQ) and Eastern Airlines (EAL) are too easily mixed up.

Also, Express shouldn't have the cool BBQ code.

Also, also... I'm not thrilled about EAL walking around in an Eastern Airlines skinsuit.

Among other things, he interfered with law enforcement detaining someone. Surely he is opposed to that. (Yeah, sure.)

Museum is an old word. Not many people know it these days.

Sounds like Trump.

Now for me, it is a temple to the Muses with a priesthood and sacrifices to the gods. That would go over well in Indianapolis! πŸ˜ƒ

There are a few causes I'd like to sneak through the curia. His and Bonhoeffer's are on my list.

When I was a child, visiting Florida from Boston, I ordered a frappe at a HoJo's. They didn't understand "frappe" and tried to pawn me off with a "milkshake". I knew what a "milkshake" was! I didn't want that! I explained what a frappe was and they kept on saying that I wanted a milkshake. πŸ˜ƒ

I'm not arguing with la force de frappe. Tastes great, plus can destroy cities.

Frappe > Milkshake

And, for some odd reason, there's a Goodyear dirigible flying around it there too!

The Cologne Opera / Theater renovation is another example. Over budget, over deadlines, and riddled with problems.

Oh, this is like how the courts narrowed disability under the ADA. It resulted in Congress passing a new law, ADA Amendments Act, that undid much of the case law.

I wondered why a sewer pipe in Virginia & Maryland was run by DC Water. Turns out it was meant to serve the then-new airport: Dulles. I guess it just kept on expanding who it served. Path dependency again.
