oh wow... you made me think of this movie I saw in the theater when I was a kid: The Day of the Dolphin with George C. Scott. 10 year old me really enjoyed it.

I had an earth science teacher that would let us bring in one 3X5 card of notes for our tests, and I would spend an hour or so transcribing all my notes into small print front and back, then go in and ace the test without ever needing them. Just recopying it all was enough.
I'm betting he also answers all his spam calls to tell them to quit calling him...
CT scans every 4 months... probably gonna get another nodule in my left lung nuked at some point. Hoping maybe the distended aorta that showed in my last scan takes me out quick so I can bypass all the misery of my advancing emphysema or the lung cancer possibly spreading. Aside from that, I'm just going to enjoy my family. Got three grandkids that are a real hoot right now. Counting my blessings is pretty much the priority...
Several years ago, before we got the transmitter-type meters, they would sometimes estimate our usage. We didn't know that until after several months of estimates they came out and actually read it. Apparently, their previous estimates were all low, and suddenly we were hit with a $900+ bill to catch us back up. That sucked. I also remember meeting one of the readers who was going house to house. Our next-door-neighbor's house is completely fenced in, so the reader would come down our driveway and read our meter, then use a pair of binoculars to read the neighbors meter from our yard.
haha yeah I've been a pothead for 40-several years and I got my Florida MMU card last year. It took me a while to get past my "kid in a candy store" phase. Geez I wasn't used to having ANY choice, let alone that many choices 😆
but back then it was "fine" because it never made the news...
haha my dad was a tech nerd and when he bought his first programmable VCR back in the '80s he was on top of the world. He was recording everything...
heh... yeah I remember the boy's bathrooms in my HS back in the late 70's early 80's. No doors on the stalls, and the toilet paper rolls were threaded onto chains that looped through holes in the walls that divided the stalls, with the ends locked with a padlock. There were no dividers between the urinals, and in one of the older buildings on campus, the urinals were big long communal troughs...
fall out of the sky you say...?
