Totally insane.

Has to be.

I'm saying. Like are we even going to have an election in 4 years? The dude violates every Norm, every tradition.

The small part of my brain that is conspiratorial be like, he's not moving the inauguration inside because of the weather or any threat, it's for the optics, It's for watering down the ceremony of the transfer of power, because he doesn't intend to have another one.

God damn has it been that long?

The guy I know who's into it likes radios and radio waves, antennas, and whatnot. Builds his own stuff. The HAM community also has a tradition of sending these little "contact card" type things like called QSL cards, if you contact someone in Monrovia or something, they can mail you a paper card that certifies, yup, you talked to someone in Monrovia all the way from Kansas or wherever. Can even get one from the International Space Station if you make contact with it, which people do regularly on HAM.

I have an SLR just because I think it's neat. I have a computer based peripheral one and a portable handheld one with a screen on it.

Can listen to shortwave, long wave, am, FM, and all sort of other bands, such as weather, marine, air traffic, trains, pretty much any unsecured walkie talkie and GMRS frequencies.

Has anyone in the House or Senate leadership that has received classified briefings on this done anything to oppose it? An email campaign is going to change absolutely nothing.

Bye bye.

Same thing. Fits with the time and red motif, but I can't seem to recall them locking everything up.

It's funny because I know exactly where the place was.

The original building became several other stores when was eventually torn down and became a Best Buy.

Right across the street, there was a Circuit City, which is also no longer there. Once that closed, it became another electronic store, which I'm pretty sure simply bought out the inventory and all the displays and fixtures from Circuit City and just kept it open under an independent name. Before that building was a Circuit City, it was yet another electronics store.

So I'm talking about five total electronic stores, right across the street from one another.

The original one, that later became a Best Buy. And across the street, the original one (which I think maybe was the Wiz), which became a Circuit City, and then became something else.

The original place I was talking about that locked everything up, I seem to recall having a name, something to do with cheap prices or bargains or something, not necessarily the word, cheap or bargain, but something implying as much, kind of like how Best Buy implies low pricing.

If anyone wants to dig in further, this was on the famed Berlin turnpike in Connecticut.

Edit : While writing this, I did another search and came up with it possibly being "Service Merchandise," which had a catalogue showroom approach to retail, and tons of glass-case counters, and had the red motif in the 1990s. Found a post on a vB forum saying this was in the location of the Best Buy, so I'm thinking this was it. I went there to buy a Nintendo Virtual Boy, which seemed so cool in advertisements, but was a pretty big migraine inducing let down (not unlike today's stereoscopic gaming systems).

Me neither. I had to look very close. First I noticed some of the little dots representing grass were a little faded.

Zoom in. The path is starting to show.

Extrusion?

Holy shit. I noticed that too and thought that must be one of the ones that hurts going in, figured it was from when they draw the medicine into the syringe, or maybe even from taking the cap off.
