Celebrity Death Bump
When a formerly popular musician dies, I suddenly see a bunch of people posting in social media about them. They come back into the consciousness.

Podcasts updated for 2019
Back in 2016, I did a post on the podcasts to which I was listening. About six months ago, I lost everything due to my cloud-based podcasting app becoming unreachable. It is weird to me how talking styles for radio news shows I listened to 15 years ago are unlistenable today. It makes me think…

All In – Instead of Nickel and Diming You
5 & 10 is a nice place. aya1081 and brittsaqt invited me out for dinner with some others. Good trout and ‘tater pancake and desert. So now I am home and killing time before doing the maintenance for work tonight. At least that will be short. I won’t even get to catch up much on TiVo…
