The Dear Hunter: Next Level Role Playing. Just say 'No' to dating apps. 

b1-67er: Apparently warm enough to take your dinosaur paddleboarding.

TDH: And there's that.

Draining your aqueous of humour

Special K: This is the statement for my hospital visit. Hospital says "That'll be $163,421. Oh, did we say $163,421? You have insurance, so we really meant $9,143.15."

Insurance company says "$9,143.15? We'll pay, let's see, 6,400.22. You get to pay the other $2,742.93."

Crazy.

Dear Hunter: After reading about the river changes, I'm still not sure who is right as far as agency policy.   
Frankfort area is the wealthier half of the river. Empire is a bit poorer. Unless it's all hyper developed now which is possible. Lake MI is preferable over Eastside lakes. 
I spent a lot of time cleaning that fishing river. My husband at the time would fish. If I went, I picked up horrid amounts of fishing line and litter. It's a significant salmon area. I think it's planted with fish. 
Evidence of illegal snagging was always present. It's a bit odd that boats have to go into the river ... I guess they don't know how to fish in the lake. 
That was my husband's Go To spot for fishing. I could walk my dogs on Empire Beach, but not Frankfort's. I have not been there since the 90's. I used to order fries at the a and then go to the beach and start a seagull riot.

b1-66er: Mojo Nixon Dies at 66

D4rw1n: Damn that is a loss. The obit essentially boiled down to "died as he lived: as a rock and roll madman"

b1: Yes.
"Died of a heart attack on a cruise he was sponsoring. Go fuck yourself."

Imagine the drool...

b1-66er: 'Cresci told CNET you should think of the gut microbiome as "little pets living inside your intestinal tract."'

D4rw1n: Uh oh. That is trillions of individual "who's a good boy" I need to give every day

Going in for the kiln

D4w1n: Thinking of you, b1-67er 

b1-66er: That's a great piece.

b1-67er: What I like about that video is you get a good look at his brick. That guy is right, there are big gains to be had if you are taking heat, storing it as heat, and redeployment it as heat. Taking heat, storing it as heat, then deploying it as electricity is trickier and worse efficiencies, but is much more broadly applicable. Lots of people working this problem in different ways.
