Seeing reports that house exploded in Sterling, VA.

Day 5796

The echo dot on my desk just decided I needed to know something about Tupac. And the mic is off, so what is Amazon playing at now?

Google: Here's an article about Scotland. . .

/sigh

Obligatory Superb Own post.

A note to people putting events together: not all of us are using Google Calendar or Outlook to run our lives. It would be nice to just get a boring ISC file, not a link to one of those services.

Traditional, but I'm switching it up.

Lockdown is now over. No information yet.

Bayside 6 and Pembrook Elementary in Virginia Beach just went on active internal lockdown. This is my wife's school.

Happy Frday, CoSo.

We now return to the regularly scheduled CoSo, already in progress.

The robot that wanders our streets and eats the recycling is kind of loud today. I hope it's OK. I don't know if I've ever heard it bang that much lifting cans.

@IrelandTorin this seems to also be my job description.

The state of New Hampshire has a smaller population than the city of Philadelphia. Iowa is 3x that. All together, we've seen 1 party vote representing 1% of the US population. Other than being first, remind me why we care?

@Alfred up up down down left right left right select start. What comes next?

Seems the city is planting trees along the road behind the house. Yet, somehow there isn't one "behind" my house. /shrug

Something going on behind the house involving a flatbed truck full of trees.
There always seems to be something going in behind the house.
