If he's a bloviator, he probably dropped that tidbit to get someone to ask so that could bloviate.
That was my assumption, too. So I cheerfully ignored it and kept offering Nerd 101 tips to my friend. (At her work, the IT guy fixed something and said it was the flux capacitor. She asked, in all seriousness, "Is that from Star Trek?" So I told her she needed serious tutoring in Nerd 101. Though I don't necessarily think Back to the Future is Nerd 101, but Star Trek is, so she needs Nerd 101 to be able to identify what is and isn't from Star Trek.) (She's 32, which is no excuse for not seeing Back to the Future. Sheesh.)
At the convention. I got here when the doors opened to get a good parking spot (I did), so I've been here about 2 hours already. We officially start in 20 minutes. I posted a couple of pictures on FB.
It is so heartening seeing so many Democrats in one place. Moving to Colorado was a bit of a political culture shock. Most of the people I met when I first moved here were Republicans.
I've been fairly social, talking to strangers. It is like I don't even know me.
As for the storm, it had been cold and rainy. There has been some snow but nothing was sticking as of at least a half hour ago. I'm trying to be hopeful that this bodes well for the drive home later.

The only Back to the Future I've seen in the one in the Old West. Things set in high school don't really appeal (and yes, a lot of Buffy makes me impatient. I watch it for Giles, I related to the long-suffering grown up_
32 is just a few years younger than me, and I remember Back to the Future being on TV all the time when I was a kid and teenager. Like, I don't know how anyone could have NOT seen it at least once, unless they didn't watch TV at all.
Ah, Nerd 101. I had to explain Rule 34 yesterday at work. That was high-larious.
I also learned last night that Stella Artois' cider is REALLY good.
I've been wondering if it's any good! I think I'll buy some and give it a whirl.
I'm off to see a new optometrist shortly.
I think I've gotten to the point where I prefer hot weather to cold. Yeah, I need technology to be comfortable in heat, and sweating will always be icky. But the cold hurts. And I still need technology to be comfortable, because even bundled in sweaters and robes and blankets doesn't prevent the painful chill from creeping in. My hands don't hurt in the summer.

How could they not know???
How could they not know???
I know! What are they teaching the youth of today?!
We were talking about the things you see when you have to review things for content problems. And a coworker who's been at my company a while said, "You know that rule..." And I nodded and said, "Oh yeah. Rule 34?"
And then we had to stop to explain it to the rest of the group.
Went to the optometrist down the street. I really liked everyone, so yay, I can keep going there. My prescription is basically the same, my left eye is slightly weaker. But I got my eyes dilated, so I'll be listening to playoffs hockey in the dark. Later on in the afternoon, I'll do the Umbridge Run 13K.
I just had to look it up. I knew the rule, but not the number.
What Aurelia said. I didn't know it was called that.
