Listening but cooking. If the broccoli is spying on me, I just give up.
David, ultradamno, James, Daybreak(!), hi!
You posted about the karaoke on Wake this morn, gotta look into that.
A bit of cross talk here but what's Sheila's email address for joining her weekly email?

I also loved up periscope. Pole position was my favorite though. Here we are 40 years later and I still rush to be first at a red light
My friend, the late great Frank Serafine did many of the sound effects and sound design.
Wendy Carlos did the score.
Fun to hear you talk about this!
Hey groovers, see you later, saved your data....
Be well, all. You know. As one can.
- the Monopolies over them are another - which determines how they're used.
Some hope that more people & politicians have begun to understand these truths.
Many serious consequences of it not happening fast enuff - like say QAnon & Fascism being enabled to consolidate & expand.
