@evan it’s close to Vermont?

@evan iirc Paul Simon wrote this verse from Under African Skies for Linda Ronstadt (who sings on the track) based on her description of the skies in Arizona when she was a child.

“In early memory
Mission music
Was ringing 'round my nursery door
I said take this child, Lord
From Tucson, Arizona
Give her the wings to fly through harmony
And she won't bother you no more”

I’ve been to Grand Canyon, Tucson, Sedona & a few other places over the years ago and the Arizona skies are impressive.

@evan Still prefer Vermont skies though.

@chris I have no idea what compares. I use it daily and have for about 6 years without issue. But it is at my desktop. YMMV

@chris I bought it for ergonomics. I haven’t had any wrist issues since I started using it.

@chris I’ve had a Logitech Lift for years without issue.

@evan@photos.cosocial.ca @Stavro @evan@cosocial.ca place name please and thank you.

@evan I was 10 and spent much of that summer in Sharon, PA right on the border of Ohio. The town painted all the manhole covers and fire hydrants in red white and blue with the hydrants made to look like minutemen. I believe we may have gone to Colonial Williamsburg that summer too. Lots of photos of my cousins and I wearing tricornes.

@evan I assume never falls into the quarter or more category 🤣🤪

@evan Good brewery in Littleton, NH named Shilling. They do old world lagers and some new world ipas. Nice location by the river

@evan do you have any suggestions/recommendations for seafood restaurants in Montreal? My wife has a shellfish allergy so we rarely go to them, but a friend is going to Montreal for the first time and she loves seafood. She's also Italian if that makes a difference in any suggestions you may have. Thanks in advance!

@evan Wow. This is a tough one. Bravo.

@evan I am so confused. I click on that account and am met with a wall of buttons(?) that say Add. There is one that reads "Accept" but I haven't knowingly clicked anything. I don't see how to simply follow. And when I click on the follow account in certain iOS apps I get nothing at all. *shrug*

@evan Maybe the differences are in terminology. Celebrate is not the same as ... participate or observe? I was raised Catholic but I wasn't even aware of pancakes as a Shrove Tuesday thing until I was in my late teens. I like the nostalgia associated with Christmas, but I haven't been Christian in over 40 years, so I wouldn't say I am celebrating Christmas. Maybe a person who has pancakes just has pancakes on Fat Tuesday because they always have, but they may also hate their childhood religion?

@evan I don’t celebrate Christmas but I have a tree … and eat Chinese cuisine.

FYI, I mute vague posters. Use your words or STFU, please.

@chris @mastohost maybe the server of the people with whom you interact most?

@anildash Any idea why I see ALL of your posts twice with the same timestamp each time you post? I do not see this with any other accounts.

@chris I feel this and lived it this year with my annual physical exam the day before i left for a hike in England. Thankfully my doc rushed the blood work and I had some peace of mind before we left.

@chris I’ve been to Naperville! Well long enough to go to the cannabis dispensary when visiting relatives. 🤣
