Sardonic responses would be quite reasonable from a cat.
Telemedicine is really cool.
Did a colonoscopy that way.
Didn't want to mess up the house, so I used the computer at the public library.
Man, you'd never believe the amount of whining!!!
Wont ask where the camera was. :confused:
Telemedicine, hmmm. That reminds me of the time Kojak had his own homeopathy show on QVC.
Televangelist telemedicine: Faith healing through your television.
Good one Shaggy. I'm lolling like they do on the myspace.
Great minds think aloud, like a dancing clog.
A dancing clog? My clogs don't dance, they just keep water from flowing down the drain. It's troubling. Downright hairy, I'd say.
Clogs you say? Dogs in fogs for sure. Hats made of wax.
Dancing but not fencing? Surely they will escape.
Don't let the bees hear about it.
Too late, the hive is already buzzing about it.
Send in the murder hornets.
Oh my.
Apparently, Washington state tried to attach a tracking device to a murder hornet so that it would lead them to its hive. It didn't work. They think the device fell off, but we all know that the murder hornet removed it. They didn't get that name by being careless, after all.
The hornet was probably an ex tracking-device man, and saw the ruse coming from a mile away (classic Warshington move though, amiright?).Quote:

It's the state of Washington, not the city. The state of Washington is more likely to set up a Starbucks and let the hornets come to them, rather than attempting to track them.
Not hornet but ...

I didn't realize until very recently that mosquito trucks don't really exist outside Louisiana.
I was doing some work for a guy out of California and I was working outside. A mosquito truck passed the house and I told him to hang on just a second that the mosquito truck will pass in just a bit. He had no clue what I was referring to.
I've heard the mosquitos in La. are big but didn't know it took a truck to carry one!!!!!Quote:

You deliver your mosquitos in trucks? We just let them fly here on their own. No wonder you have so many!
Frankly, I can think of better ways to spend your money.
A mosquito truck drove through my neighborhood in August. It is the one and only time I have heard a mosquito truck in this state in all the years I have lived here (23, by now). Apparently, we have about as many mosquito trucks as we have snow plows.
Also, mosquito trucks were all over the Florida Keys. They also used aerial spraying.
We’re evacuating to Memphis... this sucks.
What's this to do with? There's been nothing on the news over here.Quote:

Because of Hurricane Delta ?
Thanks. I don't think that's hit the news at all over here. My knowledge of hurricane forces etc. is pretty negligible but that looks nasty.
Good luck and best wishes, DD
I live about 30ish miles away from the gulf (about an 1.5 hour drive but about 1/2 hour boat ride) from the gulf.
I don't evacuate for anything under a 3, but their predicting that this will either be a strong 2 or a weak 3. So that's enough for me.
Of course I planned on leaving Friday morning, but now it looks like it'll be Thursday.
Shoot, that's tomorrow!
I read it has been graded to 4, has it been decreased ? https://edition.cnn.com/2020/10/06/w...day/index.html
It'll be Category 4 over the gulf, which isn't surprising, it (generally) will gradually reduce speed once it gets closer to land. The exception of course was Hurricane Laura this year where it kept getting stronger and stayed a Category 4 even once it made landfall.
Ok. in any case, Keep safe you and your wife (and the kids if any).
Hurricanes tend to speed up over warm water, and weaken fast over land, but even when over warm water they go in cycles of waxing and waning.
The waxing part started with The Karate Kid. The waning part was much further back with either Wane's World or Wane Newton.
I thought that was gamma rather than delta. It's still only early October, so there is plenty more hurricane season to go, but I thought we were deeper into the Greek alphabet already. I don't see any other named storms currently on the hurricane net.
There is a Gamma, but I think it already died out. It had hit Mexico as a weak tropical storm.
Ah, so that's what I was remembering. That's good, and it fits with what I remembered, too.
So, you're already down to the gamma quadrant, and getting ready to feel the delta force.
What happens if the Greek alphabet gets exhausted??
you do like excel, you concatenate letters
Nice!
You recover by eating PiQuote:

Not sure that causes you to recover, really. Fun, though.
This is a fun site....unless you are watching that little whirlpool heading your way...

Yeah my sister in Lafayette was going to evacuate but changed their minds. Their house is on a little higher ground than their neighbors.
Lafayette is on the bad side of the storm, but it looks like it keeps tracking west. Which sucks for my family, their houses are already messed up from Laura.
We around Lafayette does your sister live? I pass through all the time, I take Hwy 90 to I-10 when I visit family in Lake Charles.
Plus I have extended family in Mamou and Basil.
You folks are taking a beating, this year.
I spent four years in the Florida Keys, and we never got hit once. In fact, the Keys hadn't been hit in decades, which was unusual since the long term average was set at around one hit every seven years. That long hurricane drought allowed a whole lot of stupid construction to take place: Let's build a building that looks like a giant sail on a narrow island that gets hammered by hurricanes and is only a few feet above sea level. Yeah, that's a GREAT idea.
Still, it probably worked out for them, because the Keys still haven't taken a significant hit, while Louisiana has gotten several in the same amount of time.

That's surprising, sure looks like prime hurricane area.Quote:

Yeah, and people being people, once it hadn't been hit in a couple decades, people began to think they were magically immune.
I've very familiar with Youngsville. I used to go to parties out in the cane fields out there. There was a girl that I like who lived with her grandmother out there, we fell out of touch, but oddly enough she just got her masters in computer science and specializes in C++. I think that she landed a job with the FBI.
That 'out of touch' thing??? Yeah, you're doing it wrong.
When I fall out of touch with somebody, I don't know where they ended up going to school, for what, and where they ended up working.
unless he fell out of touch after discovering she was working for the FBI and that he may have some trouble with his homemade Louisiana contraband booze :D
I think that would be the ATF, instead. ATF is the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, which is not nearly as much fun as it sounds.
Moonshine's legal here, not sure if it is to make, but it's legal to possess.
Nah, Facebook makes it easy to catch up with old friends. We talked not too long ago when she found out that I made the career switch to web development.
