  1. A #recollection - a story, if you will - that doesn't have a particular purpose. I'm not trying to influence you to think something in particular, just relating something I thought about recently.

    Many years ago, towards the end of my senior year in high school, the #school day had just ended and I was getting a ride home from a friend. I was in the passenger seat of his car, on a beautiful late-spring day, and had just fastened my seat belt as we prepared to leave the parking lot.

    Three guys were walking by in front of the car. One, "J", was a guy I'd been #friends with in elementary school, but fell out of contact with in high school. I don't think we'd talked or interacted in years. He had no reason or motive for what followed, except perhaps #peer pressure from one of the other two guys. *That* guy was a former friend who disliked me because I'd #dated his #sister for a while. He'd spent much of the last year slagging me off to anyone who would listen, and I have no doubt he influenced Former Friend J.

    As they walked by the front of the car, J stared at me and #flipped me off. I laughed and did the same back to him. They stopped, he came around to my side of the car, and sucker-punched me through the window, breaking my #nose. My friend drove me to the hospital a few blocks away, where the doc straightened it - I'd broken it before, as a kid, so this actually made it better.

    Today, it would probably result in #police etc. Then, it was "just kids". #Weird.

  2. About the best thing I can do today!

    Flickr was once the best photo service. They became the most dated and user-unfriendly in the meantime. I haven't used it for many years, I think it's about time that I free their storage.

  3. I've been using #GoogleAlerts for years and just realized that each alert includes links to share the alert on #SocialMedia. But the choices are limited to #Facebook and #Twitter.

  5. This is how I spend my Sunday mornings. Most of the episodes are pretty #silly & VERY #dated, but in spite of that (and the #terrible VFX, it’s surprisingly well-made! Have any of u “youngins” ever seen it?

  6. I wish Gitlab looked like it looked before the major theme changes they did about 4 months ago. Contrast issues, too cramped :( #dated
