In whose imagination is a dark fiber in the same trench as the live fiber a backup?
I suppose it must have been Biden or Obama who did that (and no possibility that Congress did not provide money for a proper backup.)
Micro-wave would be a good backup. Can't be cut by a backhoe.

I find it incredibly rich that a president who seems incapable of speaking *any* truth is barring news organizations because he claims they are not truthful.
Actually he did say he just doesn't like their reporting which is a bit of truth and the underlying reason for their ban.

Paw Paws are starting to ripen. We've been harvesting them by shaking the tree and finding the ones that drop to the ground. D-I-L's Rott helps by finding them and bring them out to the trail. So far she's had a very soft mouth.
And we've been enjoying their mild sweet flavor and custard-y texture.

I really dislike cop shows and murder mysteries where the authorities collect the witnesses/suspects in a group to question them.
You question them individually and compare stories!
No wonder it takes them nearly an hour to solve the crime.

Twilight Zone: The Grave
* Lee Marvin
* Lee Van Cleef
* Strother Martin
* James Best (a Twilight Zone regular - also Jess Belle)
* Stafford Repp
* Elen Willard
Stellar cast. Great story and acting. And it always amazes me that a show created during the tome of SDTV has rendered so well on FHD.

Amazon my friend, The SD card I paid $11.06US for June 2025 is now listed at $66.47. If I open the price history window, it refuses to go back more than 3 months. Even camelcamelcamel.com won't go back further.

Shame on you, Amazon.

Medicare just sent me a message "Stay Healthy with Dr. Oz"
That was really creepy until I recalled that he's still part of this administration.
It's a stark reminder that I have to carefully consider the advice that our current administration spews.

Motivated by a new TV (and finally deploying the Onkyo AV receiver I bought off Meh/Woot years ago) I've started ripping some of my Blu-Rays. That goes pretty well.
And I installed Jellyfin in a Docker container. That went well (except for forgetting to adjust file perms on one filesystem)

Watching episodes of the original Twilight Zone. It's in Black and White. The resolution is taking full advantage of Full HD. They must have shot on film originally (Duh!) and re-scanned it at FHD resolution.
That compares to The Ten Commandments which looks like it was never improved since ...

It looks like Tump's "Freedom 250" has been cancelled due to weather. Dozens of folk will be disappointed.
Meanwhile, "A Capitol Fourth" is on! and the audience in the camera shots looks huge.
Gary Sinise is honoring the Artemis II astronauts right now (unless I'm watching a recording.)
