Started watching TOS in reruns in the late 70s and 80s.
I was a very lonely teenager in a blue collar, uneducated family when TNG premiered. I watched every episode of the first season alone in the dark on an old B&W tv as they were watching other stuff on the good TV.

TNG opened my eyes to a world of possibility, the diversity and wonder of life, leadership, and aspiring to something bigger than my small world.

There was plenty of criticism about the Wesley Crusher character in those early years, but as smart nerdy boy, I was grateful to see his character and how he was treated by the Geordi, Data and others. Gave me hope

Decades later, introducing my kids to TNG has been one of my greatest pleasures in life. They know and love the characters as I do.

Springsteen

I’ve seen him with the band in big venues and solo in tiny theaters. Best show was a Philly warehouse when I was in the front row, maybe 8 feet from him

In my part of Virginia, they have established noise laws. Seem pretty fair

ordinance defines daytime as 7 AM–10 PM on weekdays and 9 AM–10 PM on weekends and holidays, and nighttime as any time outside of daytime. 

The ordinance limits noise levels to 60 decibels during the day and 55 decibels at night in residential areas. 

The law has a surprising amount of detail regarding things like vehicle noise, construction, etc.

Rachel Garrett without red hair? Hmmmmm

I assure you that nobody in Philadelphia considers themselves to be part of the Chesapeake region

At this point they aren’t so secret

I know her music pretty well, having raised two daughters over the past 20 years

Personally, my favorite of her albums is Folklore. It’s closest to the indie sound I enjoy

Today is your cake day, @valuesubtracted

Wish we had a modern Sim City. No subscriptions in in-app purchase, or internet connection required.

I’d love to see him in Star Trek

Captain of the Enterprise C before Cpt Rachel Garret takes over command?

“Well, a double dumb ass on you”

They like you very much. But they are not the hell your whales.

I ...I suppose they told you that? Huh!

The hell they did.
