All Night and into the Morning at the Froggy Bottom Diner
This is an Unhosted Cafe.
The bar is fully stocked, but it is self-serve tonight.
Don’t forget to feed the meter, this is a tow-zone.

May the 4’s be with you
I felt obliged to come over here for a few since I sent you on this quest. But my eyes do not want to stay open at all.
{{Andi}} Sweet Dreams!
We’ll have coffee in the morning, yes?
Of course.
Anybody up? I just got home from a very strange movie night at the Missouri Historical Society. They have an archive of old “school films” from the st. louis public schools. Those old films that they used to show in school in the 60’s.
Hey, that’s not old — that’s a fine vintage.
well, yeah for most of us in the room tonight too. They even showed them on the old projector with the really bad sound. One was a cartoon type film about a little boy named Johnny who needed to learn better manners or he would turn into a pig. Which of course he did. But then he felt sad because he could never be an astronaut and astronauts live clean lives and don’t act like pigs. So he was saved.
And with some little girl standing around waiting to become the mommy of astronauts, no doubt.
And did they have this one?
I think that link bears a striking resemblance to the movie they showed us in fourth grade…do you think they might have still been showing it in the late 70s? 🙂
It sure wouldn’t shock me. I remember seeing filmstrips in the 50’s that had been made in the 30’s and 40’s.
And don’t forget “Duck And Cover.”
Found my laser printer today — not the most sophisticated one on the planet, but it looks like it’ll do the job. Almost bit the bullet and splurged on a color laser…but when I read the box on the one I was looking at, it wasn’t Mac compatible (Discrimination! Who do I sue???). 🙁 Tomorrow will be technology day in the household, as I work on getting it set up and running assorted tests.
As far as I can tell, it doesn’t have upgradable memory, but since the spouse and I don’t print super long documents that often, I think we’ll be okay on that end.
Did a LOT of walking to/from buses and shops today; just about ready to go change my clothes, crawl into bed, and be a night-night girl… 🙂
It’s pretty quiet here tonight. Glad you found your printer. Sounds like you had a busy day; I can see why you’re tired.
& I use it for business printing. Seems ok. I haven’t priced the difference per page with lasers (mainly ink vs toner cost).
My next computer project is to hook a PC to my lathe. The state of that art is like desktop computers c. 1980. Users’ groups of impenetrable geeks for the small stuff; or else $100,000 for big production machinery that would short-circuit the whole neighborhood.
I swear my life has been one long Groundhog Day. I’m constantly bouncing from a societal cutting edge to a backwater of progress, from people who don’t know how to solve their problems because everything’s too new and insufficiently explored, to people who can’t solve their problems because the sages all died off and nobody alive remembers how to make the old systems work any more.
Who exactly did I screw in my last life??
A calmer night in a Puget Sound marina neighborhood.
Tonight it’s ominously blustery. Ill winds blowing nobody good.
Here.

I’ve just about finished my coffee and cereal & it’s 33 degrees outside. I can’t remember if this is supposed to be a cold day or a warm day.
