It’s a crazy story!
This embed should take you straight to the free fall.
Know Your Egress System
I just wanted to do a PSA
Everyone should know their egress system.
Godspeed, airmen.
War Games (1983)
Watching this again, for the umpteenth time.
Just noticed the video arcade in the introduction is actually on Ventura Boulevard in the San Fernando Valley (Woodland Hills, I think).
We had a good time out there back in the day. 2400 baud modems, CRC, No handshake.
Anyway, just popping in. Later.
This Dog
I’m dog-sitting one of these right now.
It’s a breed called Bichon Frisé, if I have that right.
They’re some kind of Belgian poodle from the Canary Islands. Oh, and they’re hypoallergenic.
When I first saw one, I thought of this guy:
It turns out they’re actually of Spanish decent. It seems the breed goes back to the 1500s.
This lady gets it.
As you can see, they’re cute little fuckers.
