That what has been seen, can not be unseen.

There are A LOT of episodes. Back then you'd do 22-26 episodes a season, and there were 5 seasons. 156 episodes! Of course there's some dreck, but by and large they remain remarkably good watching. It still amazes me that the show ever got made in the first place, in the era of "Leave It To Beaver" and such.

Agree. Compared to the other TV shows of the time, this was ahead of its time and has generally aged well.

Yes, and much of it holds up remarkably well in modern light. Same issues, different look. "The Monsters are on Maple Street" is probably my favorite, and its closing monologue lands hard.

A few Twenty years ago, for the one of the new Twilight Zones, they got together Bill Mumy and Cloris Leachman (who played Anthony and his Mom) and Bill Mumy's real life daughter, and revisited the same town, only now Anthony is middle aged and has a daughter who also has powers. I forget the plot, exactly.

Whatever it was, please wish it into the cornfield.

I have your 50 lbs - and I would be happy to return it

years ago some of my friends would call me Claudio or Chia - for Claudio Chiapucci

now I'm more like an over saturated / ballooned Chia Pet

the good news is Mrs t2p and the t2p kids are lean

oh well

I've been on Eligard the last three years so I don't even care anymore. ;)

Sure, stuff happens, but I can't help thinking we all (drivers, cyclists, everyone) live in a cruel and destructive society, which tolerates a very high rate of suffering in return for not much value.

Dried out around mile 40. Turned sunny around mile 55. Crashed around mile 73. Turned in to the last rest stop for water, just a bit too hot. Front wheel slid right out from under me on the gravel driveway. The bike is fine. The brake levers were scratched up, but I filled in the scratches with thin c/a glue, sanded them out and shot 2 coats of clear urethane on them. They look better than new now. I did have to straighten the bars, stem and seat, a couple times to finish the ride. Road rash on left knee and lower left leg. I managed to get my hands down before impact so I didnt get hurt but I was awfully sore on Monday. Had to skip the Tuesday night ride but rode a solo 42 on Wednesday. Been quite a week! 5 hours and 15 minutes 102 miles

Scorpion sting this afternoon. A very rare occurrence. I use the same treatment as I do for other bites---clear nail polish. It took the sting right out of it.

Is this roughly equivalent to a bee or wasp sting?

I suspect it's not fully detecting mobile preferences - I have it on "full site" but I have a partial-width mobile header at the top (which didn't used to show), and many of the elements are taking up incorrect widths of the screen. I've made mistakes like that at work.

I have no pushed them to the dev server, let alone further down the chain.
