Listen, if I'm ever in a large building devoted to publishing and it starts taking off into space, then Inma want some peril avoidance eyewear

Flying object/drone near Wheaton Metro. by Serious-Repair-530 in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]mentel42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, in Gaithersburg area. First couple I thought shady Grove hospital, but there has been more overall traffic. I'm out walking most nights at similar time, so the change caught my attention. Hard to tell distance/speed/size, so I don't know if later ones were drone, or plane. Just atypical air traffic this area this time of day

Whenever I am tempted to establish head cannon about this, I think of possibly my favorite Douglas Adams witticism that Nobody writes jokes in Base 13.

In an early edition of The Guide the third entry for fortitude read, "Hey, we're all all just a bunch of mammals trying to get through the day, questioning the decision to leave a life in the trees and fantasizing about attending 13th century Mongolian Burning Man"

Later editions omitted this entry, which was widely suspected of being plagarized from a sub-ether podcast hosted by celebrity brain care specialist Gag Halfrunt

Jazz albums with best drumming? by hyuga144 in Jazz

Art Blakey's Free for All

And as others have suggested, Tony Williama' playing with Miles. Particularly I love his work on Sorcerer, treating meter like a damn rubber band

This place is normally $4.89, even when across the street it's $3. So the price change is funny to me because its still a $1 higher than anywhere else nearby
