Fifteen years ago today:
The 7 July 2005 London bombings, often referred to as 7/7, were a series of coordinated Islamic terrorist suicide attacks in London, England, that targeted commuters travelling on the city's public transport system during the morning rush hour.

Watched a good short movie on Amazon Prime, called London River, last night on people seeking missing relatives afterwards. Starred Brenda Blethyn (Vera, for Brit mystery buffs.)
Lots of timely references to scary black people and the painful tolerance by many whose lives included being discriminated against.

Island time bitches. 100% masks at IGA.
When I was there on Wednesday, a family of four wasn't wearing masks, but everyone else I saw was, except one lady who was holding a tissue up to her face while maneuvering her grocery cart .
Of course, this was before the Abbott's order.

Assuming you mean Disney+, yes there are subtitles available. I'd recommend anyone watching for the first time who hasn't listened to the album before should have the subtitles on.
Yes, Disney +. Just an old folks mistake.

Is Hamilton closed captioned on Netflix? We olds don't hear lyrics as well as we once did (ears blown out by being close to amps in the '60s.)
If not CC'd, any suggestions on available libretto?

I did a lot of crazy shit growing up in Dallas. Never hit a shake joint in the Grove though.
Too far north to be in the Grove, isn't it?

Nueces County has had 4 deaths since the panic began. And only 1 in the last month.
It's not Ebola central down here...
Fifth reported today.

Yeah crazy night on the island. High water on the beach, tons of drunk idiots out and about, impossible to get into restaurants, gun pulled in ferry line because someone cut him off. Honestly on that last one, you probably deserve to get a gun pulled on you right now if you are stupid enough to get in the 3 hour line.
Looking forward to next week's Police Blotter in the Jetty.

I'll eat the shit out of it if, through the will of others, I end up there. But I never think of it.
Also, any love for Piccadilly Cafeteria in Memorial City Mall in the late 70s/early 80s?
There was a Piccadilly in downtown Austin in the late '60s or early '70s. Only went once. Rarely left the extended campus area then.

Scary to see law enforcement refuse to identify while wearing riot gear. Blocking accountability is a pretty clear bellwether for bad shit going down soon
Brownshirts?

I use a low end Honeywell wifi connected thermostat for a remote property. Worked well for us for about 7-8 years at less than $100. It is also programmable, but we don't use that feature. We leave AC off while not there, turn on while on the road to there.
Probably at HD and Amazon.

They filmed a lot of season 2 in Lockhart, I think I remember a scene at McKinney Falls too.
The trailer site was at Richard Moya park. I can't find the photos I took at the time, but here are some from the net.

Yea but all the places around here have said that and it hasn't been a thing. I really doubt they will follow that 25% rule
No penalties for violations of Guv's order has been established. Do whatcha want.

Saw him in the early '70s at Gregory Gym. Opening act was the Youngbloods. I think a lot were there to see the Youngbloods, mostly college students. Smashing show. He had the whole place really rocking by the end of the set. Quite a contrast in bands. Glad I got to see him live.

Just finished the last of eight seasons of Still Game, a multiple UK award winning sitcom set in Glasgow, Scotland. Needs closed captions to help with translating some of the brogue, but very funny thirty minute episodes.

Drove up the beach from Beach Rd 1A to Sandcastle Drive on Wednesday PM. Not real crowded and only saw one group of more than six who were probably not family. Weekends might be bad for a while.

If she was older, she likely has all her passwords written down somewhere or a file with them. Or she only uses one or two. Is there someone she might have given passwords, financial info, etc. to? Everyone older should do this. Actually anyone can die unexpectedly anytime, so everyone should have some back up person/place.

For those interested and willing to risk:
Note: State order against tourist travel still in effect through Thursday.

I was 10 going on 11 when this happened. It was all over the news. Maybe my first introduction to how evil people can be.

Benidorm is a hilarious, bawdy, English comedy I watch on BritBox. I just noticed it is on youtube.com. I don't know about premium youtube. Not advisable to watch with young uns in the room. Definitely NSFW or kiddies.
