I was born in Tucson in 1968, went to CDO and UofA, but this list is the first time I’ve ever heard of Valley of the Moon. I missed out all these years. 😢

Iowa republican caucus voters were polled and 30% said they wouldn’t vote for trump if he is convicted. Of course, the election is months away, so too many of them will surely backslide, but still. It was a higher percentage in New Hampshire, too.

Hm…I seem to recall Abbott saying that if the abortion ban passed, “Texas will work tirelessly to make sure that we eliminate all rapists from the streets.”

Apart from my first DE, a Maggard MR5, all my razors are vintage. It’s really interesting to explore all these different kinds in the thread.

In that case, “a lot” instead of alot. I might as well put The Oatmeal's excellent guide here.

I love mine. I had a Pebble, which I also loved, but the Apple Watch merges pretty seamlessly with the rest of my Apple stuff, and has extra features my Pebble doesn’t. I think they should either pay a usage fee to Masimo, or change their software. They’ve wasted enough money and time fighting it.

This almost made me spit out my breakfast from laughing. Back in the early 2000s, one of my students discovered He-Man and found Fisto to be the most hilariously unintentional—maybe—double entendre in the history of the universe. He was a drummer, and went on to name his bass drum pedal Fisto.

Excellent news. One bugaboo for me with a type of statistic lots of outlets use. That is, saying the new wind system will have the effect of taking 60,000 cars off the road over 25 years. They could say it would counter the emissions of over 3,000 cars every year.

Shaka is a place, right? So the city was destroyed, or otherwise taken over and no longer part of the prior culture’s territory. Gone.
That’s my take, anyway.

Solidarity!
My little district in southern Oregon has been investing heavily in instructional aids, counselors, and building upgrades. I am a Specials teacher and work with every student from preschool through fifth grade, and in just over a year, I already have seen better behaviors and a more positive atmosphere in my three schools. We also have seen regular COL increases, plus a larger bump twice in four years.
PDX teachers deserve their demands. Union Strong!

That reminds me of reading John McPhee’s interesting account of riding on barges along the Mississippi and Illinois rivers. He told of the phenomenon where if your barge gets too close to the river bank, the hydrodynamics are such that you can get “sucked” right into the bank.
The guy’s children were doing the sale and didn’t know what this is. It was too beautiful to pass up. [Here’s another angle](https://i.imgur.com/yJSBYHM.jpg). The pics are really close to the actual color.
I just finished this bandsaw box today; my first serious attempt. The Smile Box design is originally by Parillaworks. Mine is white oak, with an American cherry drawer pull and Myrtlewood feet. The box was finished with Danish oil, and for the pull and feet I used walnut oil.

Assuming proper alignment, is clamp n glue of the planks good enough joinery for long-term stability?
2x4s, mdf top, pocket-hole screws, (some pocket-holed and some counterbored).
Saw it on the Kreg site and mostly followed the plan. All 2x4s with pocket holes.
