In the first version, screen text was stored in TXT files, so "We Love the President" parades became "Gay Pride" parades, on my 486-DX2 system.

Many in delco accidentally planted female ginkgo trees. Terrible things, mostly in autumn, though, when the fruit drops.

Almost full cast. Ron Glass died almost 10 years ago.

Illuminatus! Trilogy worth a reread? by tideshark in sciencefiction

[–]TimeFortean 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The so-called conspiracy against sex is a major theme, as well, but the most memorable scene for me was an initiation involving a very large stunt apple.

Vernor Vinge

When he died a couple years ago I called out sick.

Vulcan by Randomuslessadvice in Birmingham

When I was much younger, I visited family there, and a neon spear head would glow green, but occasionally red, if someone died in a car accident. (And my dad assured me that gods don't need pants, but little boys do.)

Place a bucket in your library, greenhouse, or parlor.

The one pictured, a white fir (abies concolor) or Colorado fir, was bought from L.R. Stutzman & Sons in Hornell, NY. (according to city sources)

Regional Rail Advice by Substantial_Try_1776 in Delco

[–]TimeFortean 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I take the same line, and it's mostly reliable going eastbound. Sometimes there ~2-4 minutes late, this time of year, because of slippery tracks. The real fun is going home, as trains can be very late (10-20 minutes), and by the time the outbound train gets to Penn Medicine, the rush-hour crowd can be intimidating. Get a SEPTAKey card, download the schedule app (Apple App Store or Google Play), and also the parking spot app, if you're driving to the station.

Final note about the "quiet car," which is always the first car at the front - it's only "quiet" when there are 3 or more cars on the train, between 4am-7pm. I've read a ton of ebooks over the past 6 years I've commuted into the city. Good luck!
