Bunnyman mourns the Pentium II, discontinued by Intel almost 20 years ago. Today, the package is comparable to the size of a phone!
From Coming of Age to Midlife Crisis
Tom Courtney as an angry working class lad in rural England. Burt Lancaster as a depressed upper class New York suburbanite. The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner and The Swimmer are 1960’s films that were adapted from short stories.

The Movie
High Liver
David Crosby got high, and he got a liver. Crosby living as long as he did is even more surprising than it was when fellow diabetic drug user Jerry Garcia died at age 53.
Crosby had a reputation as being the #1 a-hole of Folk-Rock. His musical contributions are nonetheless undeniable.
Methods of Persuasion
The MAGA crazy hats in the House are going to hold the debt limit hostage — and the nation with it — in their mad hatred of FDR and LBJ. That’s what they’re really talking about, isn’t it? Ending Social Security (1935) and Medicare (1965).
The Carrot won’t work with those freakish loonies, so use a Stick. Forget about being a Good Cop, be a Bad Cop. There’s no point in trying the Easy Way, so make it go the Hard Way. And for goodness sake, kick that silly little lying boy scammer Santos, or whatever his name is, out the door.
I wouldn’t be paying attention to this nonsense, except for Social Security and Medicare. I started paying into those programs over fifty years ago, and now I’m collecting my benefits.
ME Too
Mark Evanier likes to post Johnny Carson videos, so I’m going to follow his lead and do one myself.
wowee, Wow, WOW! Bring back the 70’s!
Shower Me the Money
All shower heads sold in Massachusetts must be low-flow, with a maximum of 2.0 gallons/minute. Yesterday I installed one of these in the hall bathroom. An Oxygenics Fury, $25 at Lowes.

Because there was a problem with the installation, I posted a review on the Lowe’s product page, along with that picture. It should appear in a few days.
I wonder how much this crazy shower head costs?
Oh, wait. My mistake. That’s a bank vault door.
Follow-up: Manufacturer’s comment to my review.
I’m sorry to hear that the installation wasn’t as smooth as it should be. We recommend hand tightening for most instances, but there are times when a wrench is needed. Glad it’s working for you now. Thank you for the feedback!
If that’s the case, the instructions should say a wrench may be needed for some installations.
