From that 100 things article--what happened to diving boards? And people don't delete stuff to make room from their hard drives any more? I feel like a dinosaur. I did that just the other day.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That wasn't even true when I was growing up.
I think it was in Mass., when I grew up.

Because books.
Shopping only during the day, Monday to Saturday.
The town where I grew up, stores were only open Thursday nights. And they weren't open on Sunday until I was out of high school, unless it was a drug store.
or better yet should I get a while cake and just faceplant into it?
Well, faceplant with mouth open, right?

Really? I delete stuff all the time. The 320GB and 250GB drives in my computer are always running low on free space. The 1.5 TB drive is doing fine and the 1TB external drive is only half full though.

Huh. I think the municipal pools around here still have them. I will have to check.

Pools here have them, too. And the one where we used to live in PA had just added a huge twisty slide before we moved.

I do, too. There were a few on that list that made me boggle.
I mean, the Victrola still plays as good as ever, so there's no need to replace it!
