The status is NOT quo.

In LA? The first day. AM 1070 is our local traffic/weather source, and I listen to them to and from work for at least a few minutes..

Pretty quick, it's the source of local news and pretty much all sports scores and games.

Our wings are not tired

Huh. My reaction is still, "What were they thinking?"

Reviews of the first in car CD players said the same things. I remember my first home CD player in 1983, you could make the thing skip by walking heavily near it.

My clock radio wakes me to AM750, so I'd also notice pretty fast. Without AM, I wouldn't have the city's best news, best traffic reporting and best meteorologist. I have to go elsewhere during parts of the day, when the right-wing talk shows are on, but I know the schedule well enough that I can click back for the news, weather and traffic with minimum impact on my blood pressure.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

In Photoshop CS2, is there a way to make a menu option a button, or at least a keyboard shortcut so I don't have to navigate the menus to do the same damned thing every time? I mean, it's nice it came with the macro already recorded, but it's crimping my style going and finding it every time.

localhost kernel: ************An SCC Error Occurred 0x47

Um, should I be worried? Modem wouldn't finish disconnect. Restarted and it stalled out. Force restarted (hitting some combo of ctrl, alt or apple plus power) and it came back up. But...should I worry?

It's done the modem infinity disconnect before maybe once, and I've resorted to a similar solution (though I think I pulled the battery that time) without anything dire.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Wow. Reading this really brought me back to 1990 when I was living in LA.
