Bird weirdo. Wasted my 10,000 hrs on 70s rock trivia. Too clever by half. This is my own -

Nick Drake is one of my favourite people named after a type of bird theft. Others include Russell Crowe, Rob Fowler, Peregrin Took and Jack Sparrow.

Today in 1976, Hermann Hospital’s emergency service Life Flight, a small helicopter equipped to hold a patient, a pilot, a flight nurse, and a surgical resident, debuts under the leadership of Dr. Red Duke.

When I was a kid I never imagined the amount of time as an adult that I would be cleaning out home robot vacuums.

I got a letter from a cremation organization, and it used the phrase “existing customer“ which is the best industry euphemism ever

@preptodye @TracesofTexas Yeah, mockingbird was the first one my grandma taught me. Gotta stick with it for tradition. Besides, like you, I’ve never seen the golden-cheeked warbler.

Today in 1991, 44-year-old Nolan Ryan fires his 7th career no-hitter. With over 5000 career innings pitched on his odometer, the Express strikes out 16 Blue Jays including Hall of Famer Roberto Alomar to end it.

@TheHistoryOfTh2 Lol, we lived near OK in N Texas when I was very young and my grandpa used to say that every time we crossed the river. He made me look for Indians hiding.

[John R. Wiley @JohnRWiley]

@preptodye I generally agree, back out forward in. But I’ve worked places where everybody leaves at exactly the same time and it does speed traffic for drivers to pull forward out of the space. So everybody backed in. But out in the world, pull in forward.

[John R. Wiley @JohnRWiley]

@TheHistoryOfTh2 I hear you, same here. But don’t get me started on Teams or Sharepoint. Those are 80% black boxes to me.

[John R. Wiley @JohnRWiley]

@TheHistoryOfTh2 Maybe. But after decades of Microsoft losing files mysteriously, I don’t trust it when it says “don’t worry, I’m backing this up.” I still manually save also.

[John R. Wiley @JohnRWiley]

@TheHistoryOfTh2 Uh, Texas?

@nickgillespie @TheHistoryOfTh2 That statue is coach Jack Pardee.

As opposed to the current Roman emperor?
