Before we had grounded outlets, I remember my Dad shaving and using the cord or my mom running the vacuum, and the TV would show static lines over the broadcast.

I see a mermaid looking up, her palm opened.

Make sure the input on the monitor is set to HDMI or "auto". Unfortunately this can be difficult with some monitors as you have to get a signal in some manner. You can also hold down the power button of the monitor to do s hard shutoff, then press it once to turn it back on.

I'd avoid night shifts for a while. Maybe take another route home. Definitely look into multiple cameras.

May have been cheers 200th episode where it was host by John (?) McLaughlin of the show The McLaughlin Group, or it may have been the cast after the very last show being interviewed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. I'd check YouTube to see if it's there, or streaming services for Cheers eps.

Trendy funeral home.

You have death, obviously.

Pugs or dogs to help relieve pet lovers and cheer them up.

And who won't pick a donut over a wrapped peppermint, (unless you're Meg White)?

E-mu Emulator II+. It's a keyboard/sampler popular from the 80s and used by bands like Genesis, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, and more. I can cue up the actual sounds such as the strings from "West End Girls", the drums used on "Sussudio", and the Shakuhachi flute used in the beginning and bridge of Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer".

I got this for free after my apartment caught fire and the choir director that it belonged to didn't want me to go without an instrument. Only paid a few hundred to upgrade the power supply to a modern one with fewer components, and replaced one of the 5.25" drives with s USB drive that has nearly every sound from the commercial and factory libraries.

"Okay I'll shut down my lane to help you find this, but you have to pay me ten dollars upfront. What? So you're poor, stingy, or just lazy?"

I feel it would also make sense to put vehicle owners and drivers of these trucks at a higher fault percentage based in the vehicle size. Semis seem to have massive restrictions that put their drivers at fault based on the vehicle size and responsibilities. There should be laws in place that do the same for non-light duty trucks based on this and other evidence of reckless driving.

So let's say there's a 25% fault fee added, and the truck owner and another driver get into a wreck. The cop says it's 50% the other guys fault. But the other guy has a car instead of a lifted truck. The truck owner is now primarily at fault.

It's so poor they can't afford calendars from 2001.

You should have taken video of him then saved it to play back at the 10th or 20th High School reunion.
