"Blackberries are real!"

I know people who are, yes, still snotty about their flip-phones and how they're better at voice than smartphones. Not as good at everything else though.

I also know people who are snotty about not needing a cell phone at all, including my father.

The array of products in the 3M Half Marathon here is staggering.

Or it was; last year's bag was rather disappointing. Big thing was a vacuum cleaner sanding attachment, and that was not useful to many people and very bulky. There used to be huge piles of joint braces and sponges and gloves and, yes, sticky notes.

It's an actual race, not a race of expectations. No one knows what will happen.

Would you get employee discounts on sandpaper?

Pedaling along and I saw an oncoming guy riding on the sidewalk. I think he waved at me, but it was basically like a Nazi salute.

He wasn't no Road Nazi. :foo:

Haha right now I would concur. Since there's only 3 of us registered. ;)

My daughter got a few horseshow ribbons that way. You don't have to tell anyone about it. :)

I know. I just wanted to mention that 3M is ubiquitous in our lives. That's why I own the stock. :thumb:

I'd like some of that action, myself.

Tracking told me my replacement watch was at the local post office so I took a shot and drove down to see if they would release it to me. They did.

So, what's your RHR, how many steps, how many flights of stairs and how many calories burned since you picked it up?

48,893,1, and I don't track calories.

I have this patient who is a dachshund. He's not a sugarpie sweetheart doxie, more the serious badger-hunting type. But he's never given us any trouble and I see him twice a month for a complex problem.


The doxie is owned by a pair of little old ladies. One of the lady's son was visiting with the 7 year old granddaughter and a Chihuahua puppy.


The doxie was making motions that gave the adults the impression that he saw the puppy as prey, so they put the puppy in a pen and instructed the granddaughter that she was not to let the pup and doxie interact.


Adults left the room, granddaughter took the puppy out and the doxie killed it. Hysterical screaming from the granddaughter, who was completely traumatized by the event.


Son is demanding the doxie be euthanized. Mom is not gonna do that. The whole situation is a mess.

They have a wall of products in their visitor building that has a lot of stuff that one never dreamed of.

I bought 3M several years ago when the Feds mandated that all traffic control type signs meet a certain grade of reflectivity which meant most signs in the US had to be replaced. Guess who makes the engineering grade of sheeting used in sign faces. ;)

Me, either but the one screen shows it.

I removed that screen.

I didn't know you could do that but I'm old and mentally feeble. :foo:

Just looked and I see that it is a separate screen so it probably can be deleted. I'll work on that because it's just one more screen to page
through.

Edit: Gone...

It's unclear whether you would be willing to go the effort, even with podium girls.

I've got 20-25 watts on her, FTP-wise. And her watts/kg for an hour: only 2.55. In a race she did at 101% intensity.


Just sayin'


I'm in the mix with these two for sure.
