Cap'n Happy: Peter Gabriel originally wanted "In Your Eyes" to be the last song on the album but because of the heavy bassline, it had to be at the beginning of Side 2. The stylus which picks up sound on an LP picks up bass better on the outer edge of a record.

You become that which you mock
Special K: Before the pandemic, I mocked people who got JitB on DoorDash.
Since the pandemic, I get JitB on DoorDash all the time.
The mathematics of fast food profanity
b1-66er: So how has the OH Mathematics Military excursion in LV been?
Right decision?
Any discoveries?
Any disappointments?
Corporal Math: It was great. Love the Ogden. Definitely the right call. Weather was gorgeous most days -- only a few really hot ones. Discovered a lot of good bars and restaurants in DTLV. Not too many disappointments, if any.
b1: Super super great•
One of the VERY strongest traits of you both is knowing 'good' when you see it...And appreciating that for what it is...
A remarkable number of people cannot.
CM: Ogden was fantastic. Well run. I like the age diversity of the building. Downtown LV/Arts district is definitely my speed. So much so that it is a contender for retirement (in the unlikely event my liver survives).
Downtown: the walkability and general come as you are vibe. Whatever you're into you'll find it.
b1: You understand the complexities of modern life.
CM: Only disappointment: Can't walk to Del Taco
b1: Oh!
What's you favorite thing ABOUT dT?
CM: The French Fries
b1: Super interesting.
So funny that a taco place's fries are what hook you.
What caught me was the multiple hot sauce flavors.
dT had that WAY before TB.
Major Math: I'm with you on that b1. I literally put one of each on every taco
b1: You literally are the dT gourmand.
CM: The Midwest is Taco Bell country. They have not figured out french fry gloriousness at a taco joint. And. Crinkle. Cut. Hot damn.
b1: Hot fucking damn.
The Accomplice: Hell, YEAH!
I like their taco salad, just to be another fusion fan. I add hot sauce to the dressing.
M²: This conversation literally just inspired... <order>
(We have plenty of hot and medium sauce from last order, in case you were worried) 😂
CM: (dT gourmand) > (Jack in the Box gourmand)
TA: Nice!
(ordering del Taco delivery has got to be one of the weirder 'pandemic outcomes')

A- 4¢
Q- How much interest has b1 earned on US$151.00 in calendar year 2021?
Major Math: Niiiice.
b1: And to THINK I walked over a nickel today and didn't even pick it up.
M²: That's like a year's work left on the ground
b1: Exactly.
(As opposed to the decades of my humanity left smoldering on a fault line.)
M²: Put that 4¢ in DOGE
It could be a quarter before you know it
The root of evil
b1-66er: Ran across this item in a recipe this AM.
I'd never heard of it.
Former Meat Man: Salsify... better try to grow it!
b1: I bet it'll grow as strong as dandelions in IA.
There's a rule with produce: the darker it is, the better it is for you...
If that's so, this stuff has to be the recovery from the dead vegetable...
Because it LOOKS like Death's nightstick.

The raw gnur of pondering
Special K: Great entry, top 1% title: http://ktxt.blogspot.com/2010/12/serling-sliver.html
b1-66er: I'm sorry, WHAT is it that you like about that KTXT?
The title?
K: I love the give and take.
The title is world class great.
b1: I wondered as I wrote it if the title wasn't, perhaps, reaching a little too far...
...I DO like that your mind can EASILY jam in the wrong words on a quick read.
K: Yes.
b1: Hard to believe that was a decade ago.
K: Yes. Time is getting fuzzy for me.
Ready to Diet
b1-66er: '"Costco is notorious for having unhealthy items disguised as seemingly diet-friendly treats," fitness trainer Patricia Johnson of Pedal Lovers agrees.'
