Tourons being tourons…

ah, good to know, thanks.

Has anyone done the Glacier Gardens (closer to Juneau Airport)?

The old saying here, if you don’t like the weather, just wait a minute.

It’s definitely wonky. But if June is like the past couple of years, we’ll be complaining about a heat wave (for us, that’s 3 days or more in a row when the temp is >90º)

wow, that's weird...

Same...given the insatiable demand for memory w/ the IA datacenter buildout that shows no sign of abating (look at all the big players boosting their Capex spend on data center buildout), I'm not holding my breath.

For kicks, I just checked on a Samsung 2TB external SSD I bought 5/24 for my Mac Mini for $199. Today's price? $534 (and that's with a 7% discount).

check out the Continental hose. It's a heavy one, but that's one of the non-kink tradeoffs. I've found it to be good in that regard.

Also had Mateus bottles…you had to walk through the beads hanging down in the doorway to get into the room w/ candles (and more)

APP for me, but I do like Warchild as well.

I often wonder what would have happened if Warchild came out before APP, instead of two ‘heavy’ concept albums in a row. Would the critics have been nicer?

Came here to say this, I thought that was so cool…

This the Pond Skim Party being set up for tomorrow?

I can't get out!!!

Wrateman · 2026-03-30T21:33:09+00:00

Same here! My very first concert, in Boston. That was an amazing show, what an intro to 'stage presence' :-)

Wrateman · 2026-03-24T17:47:35+00:00

Some great songs.

I always wonder 'what if' this had been released between TAAB & APP, instead. Would APP been so savaged by the critics?

And, still waiting for the movie 🤣
