And made my first calculator if I got your employer correct. Wish I'd saved it, it had a really cool blue LED display. I wasn't an engineer and didn't need one of the Texas Intruments ones that cost like a insane amount of money back in the day.

I have not heard of calculators ever being made here but could be! They had some celebration for our manufacturing facility up in Manchester last year.

Neighbor to, and good friend to my parents (obviously much younger), works at that Manchester facility.

On Wisconsin
Being at high school open house last night, reminded me that I better say this. @WooClone15 and @cowgirl836, keep an eye out on the new setter at UW. She's kind of the pride of our high school. Her mom works with my wife and she's super-nice and was my son's favorite teacher when he had her.
So what I'm hearing is that some friends and I need to paint our chests and go loudly cheer specifically for her.

But that's awesome, and I hope she enjoys the University of Wisconsin! I also should go to at least one volleyball game this year. I went on that date 1L year to the Wisconsin and Iowa State games, and that was really fun

Good Lord, now deleting hentai from my google searches.


I randomly once read an online lecture to young adults about not using hentai in their fiction writing. They were using to mean pervert, whereas the lecturer was saying that it is considered much worse than that and you wouldn't jokingly call someone one.

Speaking of Scooby Doo characters Mrs. Velo and her bestie once went for Halloween as Daphne and Velma. Mrs. Velo is built more like Daphne but is a redhead. Her friend is built more like Velma but is blonde. I was supposed to go as Shaggy but I had to work.

My flight back tomorrow got cancelled. Now it's a game of "let's see how long this can ride out."

If you're still there on Friday the US Mens National Team plays Costa Rica in a World Cup qualifier. Find a nice place to watch it, break out the most obnoxious US gear you can find, have a few drinks and try not to get murdered.

A group of friends of ours also did the Scooby Doo gang for Halloween one year.

Sadly, I didn't have to try very hard to look like Shaggy. I think I shaved the normal stubble I have an left the chin alone. So.....yeah... I actually had to clean up a bit to play the part of Shaggy.

To my credit, I can do a pretty mean impersonation of his voice.

If I had to guess, I'm thinking Pants would rather be infested with botflies than watch futbol while on vacation.

Not exactly sure.
Ok, at clinic. Me and another guy in the waiting room with 40 other chairs in about 5 sets of rows. This woman comes in and sits directly across from me. We have about 18 inches between us and are directly facing each other. I'm like WTF? She also has her back to the main door in I am lined up with h it so Everytime someone comes in I check for my son and she gives me a look like I keep looking at her. I can't help that I have to look through her for my kid.

Great while typing this a guy in a wheelchair pulls up behind her. He waves and mouths hello when I look over. I say hello back and get a dirty look from Ms. I violate people's space.
