He might be Sasquatch. After all his name is Shaggy.
Why else would he choose hiking over a chance to spend his vacation sitting in front of a computer screen talking to us.

That is suspicious. Now that you mention it, one of his earlier posts should have raised alarms:

Three days between posts in the Post Race thread. If Shaggy doesn't get back soon this thread might die.
It looks like the heat wave has broke for the UK/Europe.
100+ degree days are common where I live but most houses have AC so it's not a big deal. But I remember when I was a kid, we didn't have AC. Thank goodness I was young, it would kill me nowadays. lol
It is a weird generational gap growing up in the 90s. I remember in elementary school we did not have central air conditioning; some classrooms had window units, but every classroom had ceiling fans. However, I remember getting to middle school and there was central air conditioning (except in the gym). But looking back, I don't think my youngest brother (who's 8 years younger than me) ever went to school without central air conditioning.Quote:

After a certain age you don't tolerate anything well. lolQuote:

'70s/'80s for me and no a/c in any school building, but most of the school year was spent during the cold months anyway. We also didn't start school until after Labor Day, certainly not mid-August like they do now.Quote:

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.Quote:
The settlement of "Cleaveland" eventually became known as "Cleveland". One theory is that Cleaveland's surveying party misspelled the name on their original map. More than likely though, the story goes back to the Cleveland Advertiser, a local paper in the early 1800s. They could not fit the words “Cleaveland Advertiser” on their masthead, so they dropped the extra “a” to make room and the name stuck.
It sounds like the snowflakes will be having their way and all 50 US States will be subject to a new law forcing mandatory year-round Daylight Savings Time starting in 2023.
Besides all of the problems this will bring instead of going to permanent Standard Time which makes more sense, both options probably have the mercantilists licking their chops.
Think about the "smart devices" that were built to auto-adjust twice a year. Sure, some may get software updates but others will have to be replaced. Older dumb devices don't adjust, so we can simply "set it and forget it." But what about big-ticket items like current cars or even major appliances?
Imagine winters where daylight doesn't break until 9 AM.
That makes me think of the clowns who got married to Windows 95 or 98 for so long, and then remarried XP, and then Windows 7.
I wonder which of those unsupported OSs will get patches for Permanent Year-Round US DST?
Sounds great. I like sleeping late.Quote:

It's the same amount of daylight. Though I do have one clock that I will probably have to replace. But newer cars/appliances, as long as they can connect to the internet, it will probably be an easy fix.
I rarely get out of bed earlier than that, anyway.Quote:

Crap, you mean I'm having illusions and delusions. No wonder I'm so confused.
You still believe the earth is flat? Pssh, it is a line. #lineearther
I just don't know what to believe anymore. Except there is no such thing as gravity, the earth sucks!!!!
Isaac Newton. What an idiot.
