Re: Who doesn't love swallows ?
The ducks wanted outside alright, for good reason. I love Swallows and all the insect eating birds, but they are not allowed to build nests over where I regularly walk or park or you'll get a colony going.

Re: Server issues....again
Was not implying YOU had one of the cheap servers and their explanation proves it. Seems I always had to learn some weird proprietary thing and mostly just how to "use" it at that. At PP&L it was SCADA and we had to use Leading Edge Word Processor for our logs. When we'd lose the compu...

Re: Stanford researcher warns sixth mass extinction is here

I notice several are going secret instead of public for reasons I'm not sure all of, but could easily be for ...

Re: FIFA Women's World Cup Final Today
Congrats to the girls or should I gloat & go burn some random car? Naw, that's not polite. I've got A trip in me for a couple years if that & it will be the 100th running of the Indy 500. Pit passes! My friends sponsor a lap and own an antique racer they run some years for display. The Babe....
