All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Lovely write-up by Edward Copeland (with spoilers, for the uninitiated): [link]
That is a nice write-up, but one of the photos (of Bob, natch) is an image that freaked me the hell out at the time. I was living in a 3 level duplex next to a wooded area with 2 roommates. Usually we'd watch the show together but I was home alone that night. Afterwards, not only did I check the lock on the front door, I went downstairs to lock the garage door, I locked the door to the garage, locked and blocked the sliding glass door to the back porch, double checked the front door and for the only time in my life, locked my bedroom door. I knew it was ridiculous, but gnaaaa. Freaky.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It was 20 years ago today... that Twin Peaks premiered.
At the time, I was amazed that both Matt Groening and David Lynch had been given prime-time TV shows.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
At the time, I was living on a commune and had no tv. Missing the Simpsons was more traumatic for me though.

Very envious.

Our wings are not tired.
Suzi, I can't tell if you're green with envy, or just celebrating the A's win!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
That article really nailed it about the look of the show. Nothing else on TV looked that good. I was hooked from the opening credits and I only watched the pilot because my roommate wanted to. The previews hadn't piqued my interest at all.
I didn't realize the extent of security camera coverage in Chicago. Or rather that so many systems were linked. [link]
In less than a decade and with little opposition, the city has linked thousands of cameras — on street poles and skyscrapers, aboard buses and in train tunnels — in a network covering most of the city. Officials can watch video live at a sprawling emergency command center, police stations and even some squad cars.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
msbelle, wow. Good progress, but how painful. Good luck and strength to both of you, getting through this part of your lives together.
Perkins, that's the tire pressure warning light, as I learned a few months after I got my shiny new car.
electrolytes for Liese's SO!

Java, green IS my favorite color. And I'm very happy the A's have won their first series. But I would love to be in a car with Plei, Perkins, and Jilli.
