    Thanks for posting all this, George; I enjoyed it. I rode for awhile in childhood and teens, before interest faded. Won a cup, even.

    @Mik said in Interesting dinner tonight: Well, the salmon was already pretty well salted for smoking, which I did not know, so with me adding sea salt and pepper it was a bit saltier than I would have liked. Other than that, it was tasty, although I'm not sure I would seek it out again. I did not love the smokiness. High quality fresh salmon is better. Yes, I always assume smoked=salted. I figure I can add salt at the table. Hubby has to avoid it, so I go light on it. It's hard to beat fresh salmon. You're absolutely right.

    Yes, Wolf Trap is in the high-rent district. Maybe Georgetown dorm rooms during the summer. The subway goes near Wolf Trap now. George Mason is closer and has dorms, but it's not right on the subway. And the Georgetown area would probably be more interesting than WT for a 20-something, an urban college and professional area. WT is suburban bedrooms.

    Guilty A jury on Friday convicted a former Nashville nurse of reckless homicide and impaired adult abuse after she was accused of inadvertently injecting a patient with a deadly dose of a paralyzing drug. The jury deliberated for approximately four hours in a trial closely watched by nurses and medical professionals from across the country, many worried that the case could set a precedent for medical errors leading to criminal charges. RaDonda Vaught, 38, was indicted in 2019 on two charges – reckless homicide and impaired adult abuse – in the death of Charlene Murphey at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Murphey, 75, died on Dec. 27, 2017, after being injected with the wrong drug. Murphey was supposed to receive a dose of Versed, a sedative, but was instead injected with vecuronium, which left her unable to breathe, prosecutors have said. “RaDonda Vaught probably did not intend to kill Ms. Murphey, but she made a knowing choice," Assistant District Attorney Brittani Flatt said Thursday during the state's closing arguments. "Made a 'knowing' choice?" No, she made a horrible error. "This wasn’t an accident or mistake as it’s been claimed. There were multiple chances for RaDonda Vaught to just pay attention," Assistant District Attorney Chad Jackson said in a rebuttal during closing arguments. Yes, as I've said: read the f'ing label.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in Time to get a camcorder: @Aqua-Letifer said in Time to get a camcorder: @Doctor-Phibes said in Time to get a camcorder: Klaus - ask him about his stupid electric bike. Go on, you know you want to. I'm a terrible asshole about those, too, unfortunately. Because it was once my job to educate the masses on them. How did that go? "Too unhealthy to get up the nasty steep hill? - BUY THIS BIKE! It's like exercise, only easier!" Nah I mean it was literally my job. We got a power meter, some fitness trackers and tested the bikes for a couple of months. The athlete I worked with has some pretty hardcore Ironman and International 'Cross racing times. They made me do the stuff, too, just to see the difference. She smoked me of course, but there was no difference in terms of what the bikes do for you.

    It screams of cherry picked anecdote to support a narrative. Which is no proof that it's not by and large a true narrative, but still.

    Although he took flying lessons and received his pilot license in Virginia, he had very little experience flying the Cessna before his rescue attempt. It was the owner of the flight school (a 1946 West Point graduate) where I worked that taught him how to fly the Cessna 310. He told me this story. Afterward, he was visited by men in black suits, he knew nothing about the flight to Cuba. But he had a pretty good idea what might be going on.
