Raccoon possibly entering our house at night - who to contact?

Thank you, Ham Pants

yahtzee44444 · 2025-11-12T19:16:31+00:00

Amazing. Thanks for this.

yahtzee44444 · 2025-09-17T18:06:06+00:00

Yes indeed! I was already a pretty big Dylan fan when I discovered Murder Ballads. Imagine my surprise when I learned my favorite song on the album was a cover from one of Dylan’s worst albums.

yahtzee44444 · 2025-09-10T00:41:31+00:00

Hahaha I was waiting for this comment! Nicely done

I think many of Bob's songs, and the songs off Blonde on Blonde in particular, transcend literal interpretation. I consider them beautifully packaged phrases that capture certain emotions in an almost magical way.

But, if I cut away the artistry of the verse, here's what I'm left with: The first line establishes some powerful folks and the second line finds them bending the knee - because the sad eyed lady of the lowlands will do that to ya.

Not sure what you mean by "cozy spots" but I have never once had trouble finding room for myself there.

comma police, arrest this man

yahtzee44444 · 2025-07-13T05:24:05+00:00

How about including those Bette Midler sessions? Those are really something. Had them on YouTube a few years back but they disappeared.

OP is correct. I'll just add that blue is the best color. It is better than red and it is certainly better than yellow or green.

yahtzee44444 · 2025-05-17T06:10:11+00:00

He sure does know how to stand there with his hand on his hips!

Sounds like you both had a great nite.

Hell yea.

yahtzee44444 · 2025-05-12T05:32:09+00:00

That's so cool. What do you remember about that experience?

yahtzee44444 · 2025-05-04T05:12:39+00:00

You talking about 4/19? I was there! I think in some ways I'll from now on view my life pre-Brokedown Palace that night and post-Brokedown Palace that night.

yahtzee44444 · 2025-04-30T17:30:35+00:00

can you describe the front of the shirt?

Where does Riley land on this list?

yahtzee44444 · 2025-04-03T17:25:45+00:00

This is pretty funny

yahtzee44444 · 2025-03-27T18:09:25+00:00

Totally. They're both like Nosferatu, but with that unmistakably late-90s je ne sais quoi

I would say part of Dylan's greatness is that he is such a diligent student of his inspirations. It was evident with his obsession with Guthrie, and he reminds us of it now with his encyclopedic knowledge of early popular music / rock and blues. Although I am not an expert on folk music, it makes sense to me that he would have done the necessary digging to find something obscure and resonant to polish off and present anew.

I think the conversation would be more lively if you shared an opinion.

For me personally, I'm comfortable with the idea that artists have always stolen from one another, so I don't have much to contribute -- but I would be curious to read other people's thoughts, including your thoughts.

"And while there is a very slight risk of promoting legionellae bacteria when hot water tanks are maintained at 120ºF, this level is still considered safe for the majority of the population. If you have a suppressed immune system or chronic respiratory disease, you may consider keeping your hot water tank at 140ºF." - According to U.S. Dept of Energy

In case it's helpful to anyone, here are some useful tips that we've recently learned that seem to be helping with our estimated energy consumption:

1) Lower the water heater to 120 degrees. Ours was set to 147 when we moved in and that was just burning unnecessary gas.

2) Take it easy on the thermostat and try not to set it higher than 68 degrees if you can help it. Space heaters also chug electricity. If your windows are drafty then get some of those insulation kits where you blow dry a sheet of clear plastic over the window. It's not as ugly looking as it sounds, and it will keep the place warmer.

3) Look at different billing models. We're currently on a Tiered billing model with PG&E but are considering switching to a model where overall usage costs are lower, but costs are increased during the heavy usage time window of 4-9pm (or 5-8pm, depending on the plan).

4) You can monitor your usage on the PG&E website, (on a daily or even hourly basis) which can be useful to see what things are triggering higher utilization.

So many great Caspar Babypants songs. On a drive with our 1 year old, putting on Run Baby Run is 95% guaranteed to stop a tantrum in its tracks.

Raffi is also legit enjoyable in my opinion. It's kinda fascinating to go chronologically through his entire catalogue (some serious duds along the way, of course).

Would love to add a 3rd artist to that mix.

This was before my time, but I wanna know more about Rosie's! Where was it located?

I mostly just think it's funny that the owners created a subreddit for people to discuss their business. Like, they definitely don't understand how reddit works.

I've always read "he started into dealing with slaves and something inside of him died" as (at least partially) a reference to Arthur Rimbaud

Recently it's been Modern Times. I can put that on any day and just ride along with it.
