    My mindset is that the price of being alive after a cancer diagnosis is to occasionally have something pop up, then have the nice doctors play whack-a-mole with it. Otherwise, just eat lots of salmon and broccoli, enjoy walks around the neighborhood. PS: My PET scan way back when, they had me relax in the waiting room in my personal room lying back in a recliner while they played music and showed me videos of flowers. A tad too close to Soylent Green, but it amused me.

    So the good news is the brain tumor they found is tiny. About 7mm by 6. They found it on an MRI they ordered because I had a weird loss of fine control in my left hand. Doc said usually it'd have to grow for a year more before anybody noticed, but I guess I'm like the Princess and the Pea. Anyway, the good stuff is I get to meet the doctor who runs the Gamma Knife, where they strap me into a Star Wars headset and they zap me with a tiny precise bolt of radiation, then I leave the office and eat some biscuits and gravy. No telling how long this little tumor has been there, and just now leaned on some nerves. Funny thing is, yesterday I noticed that my hand worked fine, like nothing had happened. Maybe the goblins took a break, or else my brain set up some alternate routes.

    Dan Brown mixed up the railroad stations in Paris. Obviously an intentional signal to those prepared to take the next step.

    I remember when I last assembled a 1/72 plastic fighting vehicle. Some little German tank. It had 8,000 individual road wheels, and they would bounce way up under every piece of furniture in the room.

    I appreciate that. I sent you a PM to work out the details.

    Thanks! No worries. I'll sell you $100 worth of art if you'd like some. We got paintings, drawings, and prints. https://www.facebook.com/TheWalterMooreApeSeries Records of past years tell me to expect 3/4 of new art to sell per year at shows so I am calm about it. The ghetto life was back when I was selling online and had to produce 7 pieces to sell 1 per year. That was good for building art muscles.

    Pretty slow so far to be honest. I expected the cold months to be show-less and focused on production and living off savings. March is starting to loosen up with two shows in the bag so far. I am trying to set up a double-header for the coming weekend. April is mostly booked. Bills are getting paid, just not by the margins I'd like. It seems worse than it is because I have been paying vendor fees for shows that are two months out, plus the new art mostly has not had time to sell yet. Last year was the same about this time.

    No no no no no. The original meter is a stick, kept in Paris, and was used as a club by barbarians, either the Gauls or Franks, who were both Vikings who didn't like ships. The Romans measured everything in the letters I, V, X, L, C, D, and M. Which is why we have no record of their ever having built anything bigger than a Lego house.

    I was just now thinking the same thing.

    Our railroad tracks are the width they are because carts fit the width of ruts in the road made by Roman War Chariots, I'm talkin Roman War Chariots like the famous Roman War Chariot Legions used. And if you multiply the width of a Roman War Chariot by the height of the Sphinx, it points toward Stonehenge via Ley Lines, thus proving Atlantis didn't sink, it rose, up in the Himalayas. But nobody looks for it there.

    Today I was clearing off years of coral-reef-like accretions on a studio shelf, and found $300 worth of perfectly good art that had been sitting there buried for 6 years. Most of it was prints that I had buried on purpose, because I ordered them from a print-on-demand place who packed them poorly, and they arrived bent. I had deliberately covered them with weight to flatten them out. Then, like a squirrel burying too many acorns, I forgot they were there. Back then I was mostly selling online, and shipping prints involved lots of packing and postage, probably adding to my ease of forgetting them. Now I mostly sell face to face so they are good to go (the years + weight flattened them back out.) It's like a Robert Earl Keen song, with art.

    WHATeverrrr... He's still not gay. My bro-in-law used to manage a gay bar and he said most of those guys weren't gay either. Just ask them. Come by any night and ask them. But not on Lesbian Night. Too many fights.

    Yeah I guess that's an OK deal and all, but for the same price you coulda gotten a gas station hotdog and two six-packs of beer to drink outside the store.

    I think the rapture already happened, and both the Christians left.

    I don't see how they can call it a "Freedom" Caucus and then bitch if you decide to skip meetings.

    In fairness to people from Indiana, they're always one knee-slap away from a good yee-haw.

    I am so glad that NFTs crashed. For a couple of months, long-lost friends were contacting me with the same highly-original idea to get together to sell NFTs. Y'know, buy some damn Etherium that I don't want so I can "mint" an NFT that in theory can sell for a million dollars, eventually, and for sure I'll get my cut because people are honest. Counterpoint: how bout I take a scrap of cardboard, do some squiggles on it with a marker, sell it for money in "fire and forget" mode, and then make 100 more squiggles on 100 more pieces of cardboard, sell them too, no code involved.

    That's fine, but you miss every shot you don't take. I notice you just rolled through Pettus. Probably 200 fertile legal-aged females there, but you're just a little too good for Pettus.

    Brisket, you say your family is leaving Texas, but dammit, man, you're alone in a hotel in Beeville. No reason you couldn't sow a new crop to repopulate the area in 9 months.

    It's a gas station at an interstate exit, not the entrance to Heaven.

    There's one store way down I-65 that reliably carries it. I build my itinerary around it.

    I wish them well, but that flag looks like the logo of a protein shake.
  24. RDCanecutter
    Why we gotta defile the logo of the fondly-remembered RC Cola?

    Need to pair her up with Katie Britt so we could listen to Chuckle Voice and Whisper Voice at the same time.
