The files are sorted by the numeric year first, up to 1950.

The two files for 1950 are together, as they should be.

But the letters are sorted alphabetically, so XI comes before XV. It doesn’t see that they are numbers, it’s reading them as letters.

If they want it sorted correctly, they should rename the files:

“1950 - 018
1950 - 019”

That would work. Interestingly enough, so would:

“1950 - Eighteen
1950 - Nineteen”

If Woodsy Owl and Smokey Bear teamed up, they would be unstoppable.

There was a quickplay where someone figured out how to beat the game in something crazy like 10 or 12 minutes.

I mean in the actual article, you would have thought one of the professionals would have dropped it. 😉

Nobody is going to drop the quote from Orwell’s 1984? (sigh) I guess it’s true, people HAVE stopped reading. 😞

“‘War is Peace’, ‘Freedom is Slavery’ and ‘Ignorance is Strength’”

What the column has you do is disable Gemini access in Mail, but it is still on for search.

I did all that ages ago and re-confirmed, it’s still all disabled…

But Gemini persists:

Throwing sod in a back yard. I’ll never do that again.

1890s…

There’s a documentary about it:

There was even a sequel:

“Portland, y’all want Portland.”

Thanks! I appreciate it!

I had to call THREE hospitals to get a CT scan in a reasonable amount of time. First one said “April” and I was like “No.”

2nd one said 2/18 which is better, but still 29 days out and I don’t want to sit and ruminate on the diagnosis that long.

3rd one? 1 week. 1/27! I think that’s about as good as I can get.

After book 4 I’d read, at a minimum, Insomnia and Hearts in Atlantis. Insomnia came out in the (FIVE YEAR!) gap between 3 and 4. Hearts in Atlantis shortly after 4.

But the Stand is never a bad choice!

Fair warning, I didn’t think books 5-7 were as good as the first four. He stops doing the flashbacks to young Roland and there are gaps in that story now.

The Pedant in the Kitchen by Julian Barnes.

I heard his last book (or what he claims is his last book) “Departure(s)” is out today and looked up what other stuff he’s done, this one caught my eye being a very snarky collection of essays about cooking and cookbook authors.

Oh boy, you are in for a RIDE. How far into it are you?

Beyond the 8 books of the Dark Tower proper, there are a BUNCH of books that touch that part of the King Universe. Eyes of the Dragon, It, Insomnia, Desperation and the Regulators, Rose Madder, Hearts in Atlantis, The Talisman (indirectly), Black House (Talisman sequel, directly connects it together), The Stand, The Shining, Salem’s Lot. Fairy Tale is similar enough, but not directly related.

There’s a 3rd Talisman book coming this year as well.
