Back then, intel still had planes shuttling engineers and managers between Oregon and Santa Clara. I was midair when it happened, The pilot told us we were returning home, and he couldn't tell us more. Someone (who had worked in intel Israel) speculated it was Bin Laden before we could know

Took the chance to play a Derry Aire *in* Derry as the sun set on the Peace Bridge. (I knew it as Danny Boy 46 years ago, the last time we beat the Blue Devils) Let's tak a cup o' kindness yet and send in the clowns.

The crowd was good, the rain stayed away for the parade (unlike for our concert earlier) thanks to omtaamb.org for another great season!

"...all Treaties ... shall be the supreme Law of the Land" goes with: " I do solemnly swear ... preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." A president does not have the authority to withdraw from a ratified treaty such as NATO.

Florida (recently) allows even 34-time convicted felons to vote, providing they have served their sentence and paid their fines. The Donald has no sentence or fines for his felonies. His unpaid restitution for rape is NOT a felony penalty.

It's been a few months of trickle until the DOJ decided they could release child abuse allegations that the FBI found credible enough for multiple interviews. It's only a bunch worse than civil liability for rape. At this rate we'll see CSAM video starring the Donald before the midterms 🤮

A nice day out on the Willamette. Oregon now requires paddlers to have a permit, which can be stored on your phone. Phone compatibility with paddling was not part of the legislative process

In China, an epic blackout was reportedly caused by a pig flying on a drone, after a farmer tried to transport it across mountainous terrain but hit power lines. We finally know when the Singularity arrives: when pigs fly. (Courtesy of dr AWG)
