That's a great tip about the "undercover fancy pen!" I hadn't even thought about that, but I'll definitely be doing it now!

A decent pen and/or pencil. I have several nice fountain pens that I use for journaling, but I use my Zebra F-301 ballpoint daily for general notes/etc. -- ~$10 for a 4 pack on Amazon. If you prefer a pencil, you can pick up a Pentel Sharp Kerry for under $20 on Amazon.

Fwiw, if anyone is interested, this is available on R&S Records Bandcamp.

Can't take the risk of getting in the middle of something, losing track of time, and being late to/missing the appointment.

To refuel your car, first flip down the license plate.

When he was a little boy, Sam Vimes had thought that the very rich ate off gold plates and lived in marble houses.

He’d learned something new: the very very rich could afford to be poor. Sybil Ramkin lived in the kind of poverty that was only available to the very rich, a poverty approached from the other side. Women who were merely well-off saved up and bought dresses made of silk edged with lace and pearls, but Lady Ramkin was so rich she could afford to stomp around the place in rubber boots and a tweed skirt that had belonged to her mother. She was so rich she could afford to live on biscuits and cheese sandwiches. She was so rich she lived in three rooms in a thirty-four-roomed mansion; the rest of them were full of very expensive and very old furniture, covered in dust sheets.

There are websockets.

www is not a protocol, it's just a common subdomain. I think you meant http.

Came here for this. The whole field is ~1 1/3 acres, so if you think of the whole field as 4, 1/3 acre sections, an acre is ~ 3/4 of a football field.

Not sure if I'm allowed to post links or not, but it looks like they're doing a repress of this on vinyl for"National Album Day", if anyone is interested.

Depending on how strict you are on dates, the first one that jumps to mind is "Dallas". It ran from '78-'91, so in my mind, it is a show that very much was 80s.

Honorable mention to "Doogie Howser, M.D."; '89-93.
