St. Patrick's Day in Berkeley

On Fridy my wife and I drove up to Berkeley to catch a St. Patrick's Day gig at the Freight & Salvage (a music venue). Getting there was a nightmare - instead of the hour and a quarter that Google Maps was estimating when we left home it took us twice that - there were no less than three

Glad John asked.. I wondered too .  refrained from making jokey comments  like "cute little suckers" .. ooops.. I did anyway ;-) I got sucked on by them or their cousins wading in a freshwater pond when I was a kid.. tiny ones but not appreciated.  You captured them almost too well ann On

Looks like your network has a good reason for being out.  I wouldn't want the job of splicing those data/phone wires.  Hope your home fared better than your neighbor's did. -p On 3/19/2023 1:31 PM, Larry Colen wrote: I mentioned a few days back that my network is out at home, its still out.

Re: PESO: European brook lamprey

I did some research. Lampreys have a very unusual lifecycle - egg, larva, adult & then die immediately after procreating for the first time. The big difference between the species is the larval stage which can last from 2 to 10 years. The life cycle of the brook lamprey is very short.  Their

It happened just over four weeks ago so I’m well on the road to recovery now. I was in A for about four hours - you go to the front of the queue if you have a head injury, so I was seen and treated straight away. Once my head had cleared I noticed they’d written ‘?stroke’ against my name on
