Star Wars or Car Bores?

I keep hearing "The Mandalorian" as "The Man, DeLorean" like it's another bio pic about the car manufacturer.

Remembrance Day/Transit of Mercury

An overcast gloomy day - could not see the sun. And then big snowfall!

SoftRAM95

Ranked at third for "Worst Tech Product of All Time" by PC World. It didn't double my memory. It didn't really do anything and I uninstalled it and just used the floppy disk for other things. The company was investigated by the FTC and recalled the product - I don't remember when I bought it, but it wasn't for the retail price of $79.95 mentioned in this Wikipedia article. I think I might have bought from a bin in Zeller's. Used on my black and white display Compaq Contura Aero 4/25, which I used for years even after I broke the display and used it as a desktop.

Memorex memories

I saw Fitzgerald at Wolf Trap in 1977 - someone yelled from the audience "It's Memorex" and she said "Testing" into the mic without missing a beat!

I went to D.C. for the first time travelling on an Amtrak pass - there was a tourist info booth I think in the railroad station that quickly set me up with info on how to get there and booked me a reasonably priced motel near it!!
