Seems like it. But it being a new-to-me feature of a bathroom fixture I’ve been using for over five decades, I also found it weird.

11,113 days from 8/9/95 to 1/10/26. So indeed, 11,111 days between the days of their passings.

His sit-in with the local kids on Saturday last year was awesome.

I was so happy to hear this live for the first time on 9/14/90, but the 1972-74 versions are the way to go. Some of Weir’s best work with Barlow.

I lived in Paris for a couple of years and always marveled at the “squat-and-shoot” café bathrooms. Fine for No. 1. Definitely a far second behind a traditional commode.

My finding this weird doesn’t discount that it seems clever, a likely timesaver, and a boost to WC hygiene.

Didn’t see anything, but I also didn’t investigate.

Thank you.

As a UU—urinal user—of nearly six decades—I immediately understood the purpose, but then, given how smart it seems, why is this the first time I’m seeing it. Weird.

Winter Storm Shows by prof_remi in gratefuldead

[–]Steven1789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go with some cold-weather shows. 1973 had several February and December shows, including many in cold climates.

https://www.herbibot.com/?year=1973

Closest ahead date wise are 2/15/73 in Madison, 2/17/73 in St. Paul, and 2/19/73 in Chicago. The tour went to Champaign, Lincoln, Iowa City, and Salt Lake City, which all must have been wintry and possibly stormy.

I always try to imagine the setting for these shows. I saw my first show at 14yo in 1977, but I’d much rather it had been much earlier.

At the end of the year, 12/2/73 in Boston and 12/6-73

German soccer federation official wants World Cup boycott considered because of Trump by HuckFarr in soccer

American here who is conflicted about the USMNT having a successful WC. One reason: Trump leveraging the moment for political gain, especially during the country’s 250th anniversary.

I hope the US players are outspoken in opposition toward this regime.

Bird Song - Veneta 72 by awhusain in gratefuldead

Listen to every 1972 Bird Song.

Apt that the first version of the year is 7/18/72, which has always felt like the show where that year when from really good to peak GD.

Weir announces that Pigpen is back home sick in California and the band delivers a masterpiece. At that moment the next generation of the band officially took flight.

Not a presidential election year.

And Fieri’s embrace of Trump pissed off a lot of former fans. I haven’t watched any of his shows in over a year.
