@ZachWeinersmith Be fair, ‘aether’ and ‘daemon’ are conservative spellings (Latinized Greek).

@LizardSF What bugs me most about Rockford, though: whenever he walks beside a woman, he steers her by the elbow.

@LizardSF I'm watching «The Rockford Files»; though Jim doesn't smoke much, that happens in the ~6th episode

@LizardSF You didn't say pretty-please!

@LizardSF Jim Rockford: “I knew they weren't FBI, because FBI don't wear skinny ties.” They looked almost comically wide to me.

@LizardSF My ex coined the phrase “murder by most famous”, a rule that works more often than not. I was disappointed in «Midsomer Murders» when Anton Rodgers, as a poor hypochondriac lord, was not even a suspect; that character never gets any fun.

Recently I was somehow amused when Jim Rockford visibly punched 213-555-1212 to ask for a number.

@arossp What's the worst that can happen?

No, they disappeared after a day or two.

@lucifargundam I imagine it's still occupied in its new site (at which I cannot get).

Earlier today a few wasps milled about where the next was. Will they rebuild it? Stay tuned!

For at least a month I have watched wasps build a nest in the eaves by my bathroom window. (No danger of their getting in.)

Between yester shower and today's, it vanished; evidently it got too heavy for its glue.

@trinsec At least this morning I can walk to the bathroom sans cane.

@LizardSF I also like how “fearsome predators” are not necessarily meat-eaters.

Source?

You should send it to Ansible.

Quid fecisti sors turpissima?

Some days my ankles make me pay for years of exceeding their design load. This morning my **right** ankle was sore, so I got out my cane. Then, as I dodged some furniture, my cane got in the way of my **left** foot, mildly – or so I thought – twisting the ankle. The right ankle soon recovered to a tolerable degree, but the left has been worse all day!

On a neutral station like Babylon 5, recurring events ought to be scheduled on a “week” that is the least common (acceptably near) multiple of all participants' day cycles

Darn it, cat, do I trample *you* when you're trying to sleep?

@avram Nah, the orb symbolizes his commitment to the conspiracy to conceal the fact that the Earth is Flat.

More generally, some days my Mac simply will not open a Save As dialog.
