Hi all.
Long time no see. I'd guess somewhere like 20 years long time. Damn. 20 years of not talking nonsense about rouge teeps.
Sad to see the announcement of the death of Mira Furlan:

Hope you're all keeping safe. Looking at the messages recently, it looks like there's not many of The Old Ones left any more.
Pete.

I've checked. Seems my last post was 2007. Can't believe it's been as little time as that.

Last time I was consciously here was ~2000. Got married, had 2 kids, house in the 'burbs. Job in IT. Livin' the dream.

Gee, if you don't mind me saying (and even if you do! ;-P ) Sounds like
you're living the dream ... But, surely, your dream could stretch to
including more frequent trips down memory lane??

I need to be fitting a bathroom, fitting doors, fitting a cloakroom, clearing a garage. Fitting 4x new pads & discs to my car, fitting 2x new pads & discs to my wife's car. Teaching my daughter to drive.
Instead, I'm sitting, exhausted, watching TV guiltily, thinking of the other stuff I need to do.
Never mind though. I'll be spring soon, and might start warming up.
Mustn't grumble though. Got 4 walls and a roof, 3 square a day, and a job. I'm super fortunate that as I work from home, COVID hasn't affected me greatly (other than various lockdowns putting a crimp on DIY purchases). I live in a rural area, and can go for walks in the open and fresh air (except when they're muck spreading).
Stay safe everyone!
Pete.

A lot of people haven't got even that much, unfortunately!

I've got 2 sons and a daughter, haven't started teaching any of them to
drive yet, oldest is closer to 30 than 20 now, maybe I should... nah.
Let 'em walk.

way, and evolution is cleverer than you, so when we have lockdowns that
make it necessary for the virus to become more transmissible, why are we
surprised that more transmissible variants have arisen? That and, it's a
coronavirus, like the cold, which got into people 1500 years ago and
hasn't left us alone since. Like to stay safe, not sure we know how.
