Friday Morning Open Thread

On April 26, 1954, the Salk polio vaccine field trials, involving 1.8 million children, begin at the Franklin Sherman Elementary School in McLean, Virginia

I think the Salk vaccine was injected and Sabin was the oral one but you get the idea.

Thursday Ratatoskr OT, I guess.

I had to take spouse and older daughter to Roscoe Village last weekend, had about an hour to kill whilst some specialist attended to certain womanly issues. Don't ask. About four blocks from the location of their appointment is the Chicago Rat Hole. I sauntered over and took a peek.

Blaurgh!Talk

Hello! Everything is too hard and it sucks!

What's getting up your craw today? Is it up or in? and wtf is a craw anyways? BLAURGH!

Thursday Morning Open Thread

 

Who's ready to greet the weekend?

Wednesday OT BB Not Back?

Assuming Bertolt is snubbing BT for Passover. Or maybe forever. Or maybe he just forgot.

Or he's just needing extra comfort from his community, what with antisemitism on the rise. (Anti-everything is on the rise, really) In any case, I hope he returns after the 30th at the latest, and I can go back to typing up the two OTs I post a week. I don't see a blaurgh post for tomorrow either, if anyone cares to post something. 

Wednesday Morning or Something Like It

Spouse injured her foot and has been home all week. Coupled with certain scheduled days off from school for the kids, I haven't had much time to myself.

Tuesday purposely misspelled

Whither BB? Here's a spring photo of budding oaks in the backyard. I was looking for an injured baby squirrel. I hope it's okay

I was trying to get a start on next week's posts and noticed Bertolt's OTs are missing this week. Good evening, all.

Tuesday Haiku

Lovers, the stars themselves-

Must part.
