wasps can get too interesting really fast! My dad couldn't keep away from them. It's a shame he never saw cicada killers or potter wasps: those are really interesting, and harmless. I'm not sure he'd have survived bald-faced hornets, though

That is a very pretty nest. I'm glad I didn't inherit my dad's extreme curiosity plus lack of self-preservation when it came to bee and wasp nests. My childhood summers were punctuated with extremely predictable "Dad got stung looking at a nest/swarm - again" events

doesn't mean the same here, alas

Grass isn't big enough for the 'kind' word I'm thinking of

0% chance of that. They're a know-it-all retired engineer. I'm stuck with them on this project.

I hear that James Jackson Storrow Memorial Drive is a great shortcut for moving trucks.

"eras" and "arse" are anagrams.

I used to hate the stuff in the UK. Brownish, putty-like material. Tasted old. I'm okay with either the super-worthy organic PB or cheapo sugar-loaded goo. Neither are as good as almond butter.

He might have a railroad spike on the fifth string ... but the way that bridge is set, he doesn't much mind about tuning. Interesting technique. He's the only player other than Dave Day of the Monks I've seen use a banjo as rhythmic percussion

you know they used the cheap fake shit (though billed for real gold leaf)

seeing as what a "roaster" means in Glasgow ...

not sure why anyone would do this. Maybe they're from Edinburgh and don't know any better.

Franklin would've been an 8051 guy for sure

His ffDax font was everywhere in the late 90s and early 00s. And his website was great: I still play with the little meerkats on it via Ruffle.
