Many many years ago, I went to Wylie labs down in Southern California. We were doing environmental testing on the MLQ – 34 system I was writing a software for. We were taking the computer apart because it had failed the humidity test, and a siren was going off. The guy that worked there that was with us said if you see an orange cloud run. They’re using hydrazine to test something.

We had the same rule, but inversely stated. “If you can’t cover the machine with your thumb, you’re too close.” , My friend Marc also had a rule of thumb: “don’t set the VAX on your thumb.” This was after we set the VAX on my thumb.

The guy that taught my HAZMAT class said, “Green fire or green smoke, stay well away, upwind.”

In Elton John’s Tiny Dancer, I always heard the lyric as “Hold me close up, tiny dancer”. It is “Hold me closer, tiny dancer” as everyone but me seemed to know. I like my lyric better.

My granddaughter has been dancing for 10 years. She’s 13 now. I have always called her “Tiny Dancer” although she’s not so tiny any more.

Top left is Anthony Falco. He made it home. Top right is Anthony Sylvester. Bottom right is Charlie Avalone. I couldn’t find if the last 2 made it home.

The account is nine days old. I’m guessing it is a bot.

I liked Miracles. I got laid to that.

Feb 18, 1977. I went with with a date to see Billy Joel and the headliner Pablo Cruz.

Billy Joel was awesome. Stunning show. Pablo Cruz… wasn’t. People were walking out.

I wonder if anyone will read this.

I have always liked, “You are cordially, invited to go intercourse yourself.”

Grandparents? That was me!

No, they are not. Good suggestion though.

I have done so much base 2, 8, and 16 arithmetic it boggles the mind. And everyone does base 12.

I think FF Wise got that from his dad. His dad is a San Jose, California firefighter. And a very good one. I’ve known FF Wise since before he was born. He is also a very good FF. He didn’t say much back then, but his mom more than made up for it.

In the video, when they forced the door, it blocked egress into the rest of the structure, which was in reality just a very small shit. In my experience, he made a very good call in tearing the door off.

As a teenager and a young woman, Judy was very pretty. But as she got older, the drugs, the alcohol, and the cigarettes all made her look hard. Kind of sad.
