    I have been thinking of Pink Floyd for some reason when I visit the Daz forums or site.  I do not know much about Pink Floyd, but I found Here comes the sun when listening to the Pink Floyd station on amazon music.  They sound like the Beatles not Pink Floyd.

    That is The Beatles, from the Abbey Road album.

    I enjoyed the Myst series of games for a few reasons.  One didn't run around killing things.  For the most part one didn't have time limits.  One was never running from danger.  Except for the offshoot "Uru" one didn't have to do much acrobatics and mouse wizardry but even there it was minimal.  The puzzles were hard enough to not be boring, and except for the "Fire Marbles" in Riven were solvable before one's hair was completely torn out.

    Gaaaah.... The fire marbles!!... I confess, I bought a guide to get past that... But I didn't really feel so bad when a friend who is obsessed with solving unsolvable puzzles admitted that was kind of confusing, if not vague.

    My feet hurt.  Well it is actually my right foot that hurts.  Actually not the whole foot but the heel of the right foot hurts.  not sure why, but I know it hurts more when I put pressure on it.  Of course stop putting pressure on it would be the suggestion, but I need to be on my feet when I am at work.  I cannot hop around on one foot at work.  Even when I am at home, hopping around on one foot gets tiresome and could cause injury to the left foot.

    edit: it is heel of the foot not heal of the foot.  I want my heel to heal soon.

    Gum, a completely disgusting habit.angry  I'd rather walk into a room full of smokers than watch one person chewing gum. indecision You ever notice black spots on sidewalks in the city?  Old gum.  surpriseDecades of disgusting old gum. angry  One can sweep cigarette butts into the trash. frown  But crudely disposed of gum is forever, whether it be on the sidewalk or the bottom of a chair or under a table.  Disgusting! angry

    Gum chompers are a unique breed. I once worked in an upscale resteraunt- the kind with real silver and real crystal...and once a month the busboys would have to lie on trollies to scrape the gum from underneath the tables with paint scrapers--- sooo disgusting!

    I like that metallica harp music- but how about No Leaf Clover -Symphony and Metallica. I can identify with that line- 'when you think you see the light at the end of the tunnel... it's just a freight train coming your way'. Side note- when I was in first grade I spent an entire day, literally, painstakingly searching, inch by inch, my grandmother's lawn for a 4 leaf clover. It was a no leaf clover day.

    I've found a few four leaf clovers in my life.  Mostly as a kid laying on the grass painstakingly searching for what seemed like hours in kid time but was probably only 20 minutes in adult time.  I found a five leaf clover once too! surprise

    I've adapted the "Light at the end of the tunnel..." saying.  I now tell it like this:  "When you realize that the light at the end of the tunnel actually is a train, your priorities change."

    Whereabouts did you find them? My clover searching days were in upstate NY- never found a one-- and a 5 leaf clover--that is quite wonderful. I suppose that was back in the days where everyone didn't have a phone handy to snap  picture.

    Western NY State, 60 miles south of Buffalo, near Jamestown.  Perhaps we just have a lot of mutant clovers around here. surprise  Perhaps it was the lead in the air from all the TetraEthyl Lead added to gasoline back then. sad  Our dog had a five legged puppy too. surprise  .

    I was going to mention that I found a 7-leaf clover once also, but thought that would be bragging. devil  It was the talk of the household for about an hour then it got lost. (meh).  And as you say, in the '50s cameras were not a common item and wouldn't have been able to zoom in on a single clover anyway, unless you were the child of a professional photographer with super equipment.  I suppose that it could have been pressed in a book, and I actually think I remember that it was, but like I say, it got lost. indecision  True stories

    And we caught a three eyed fish in the lake next to the atomic power plant.  Oh wait, that was "The Simpsons" devil

    I hate public toilets.

    Why is there large gap at the top and bottom? Is the material so expensive?

    Is it so we share the experience?

    I could give you several reasons,  but the main one is usually ease of cleaning,  you can hose the floor, or use a powerjet or even just sling buckets of water and it will go easily from one end to the other.   Sometimes floors are very slightly sloped towards a central open drainage pipe.

    Plenty of four-leaf clovers here in Tennessee. The rumor that they're lucky is a lie though. Like rabbit's foot (not so lucky for the rabbit).

    Summer is here!  Yea!  Tomorrow is beginning of Memorial Day Weekend and the local fleamarket opens.  Yea! yes Not a very big fleamarket, and not covered.  So, attendance depends on weather.  But it's kind of fun to walk in the sun on the old airport grass runway perusing the goods.  Mostly junk but once in a while there's a gem.  I buy my socks for the year there.  The vendor shows up a few weekends during the summer and she always has the socks I like. Kitchen utensils, tools, collectables, etc.  I saw a really nice telescope there last year but before I went back to give it a second look, somebody had snatched it up.

    The fleamarket gives me the excuse for a mini-adventure to drive to the north end of the lake where the old airport is, do the fleamarket have lunch in the little town diner across from the county courthouse, then drive down the other side of the lake past Chautauqua Institution.  I think I'll stop into the ticket booth at Chautauqua and get my ticket for the first concert of the season June 25th (Alexander Gavrylyuk performing the Brahms 1st Piano Concerto).  Buying my ticket from the ticket booth saves me the $5 charge for buying on-line.

    Brahms: Piano Concerto #1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kD7TsD3p40w  (piano begins at 3:40; 2nd movement begins at 22:48;  3rd movement at 35:15)  The piano in this piece, when played properly, is very lilting.  Smoothly gliding & dancing through the melodies.  I checked out several of the YouTube clips of this piece by various performers and was disappointed by the hesitant or clipped feeling of their performance.  However I did find that the one (above) by Emanuel Ax is pretty good.   But, my favorite performer of this piece was, and still is, Alfred Brendel who I heard 30 years ago at the Kennedy Center.  It still brings me to tears at the end of both the 1st, and the 3rd movements. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9H6oisgQNQ
