@arthurwyatt the Blish ones are so sketchy, like he was afraid to give the characters interiority, or maybe time and cash meant he couldn’t. – 04:45 AM GMT
@arthurwyatt true indeed. wonder if any trufan ever buttonholed ADF about this stuff. IIRC, the Logs were coming out about the same era … – 04:47 AM GMT

Unsurprisingly, this accoutrement is not shelf-stocked by local retailers. – 06:35 AM GMT
Nor according to the reviews is it used for rock-climbing. Instead, as it has a handle over the dog’s tail and seems to be the only one … – 06:36 AM GMT
It is used, and widely beloved, to help paralyzed, injured, and amputee dogs accomplish day-to-day climbing and mobility tasks. – 06:37 AM GMT

@ezrakilty i’m crabby because my self set work sked precludes the baseball day game tomorrow. the breeze will still be there though. – 04:12 AM GMT
@deathmtn somewhat, yes. he pulled out his no maintenance landscaping and immediately stopped working. so now there are weeds and rat cover. – 04:13 AM GMT

@deathmtn to clarify, he pulled out the pretty stuff: trees, bushes, etc, but left the dandelions. then, a retaining wall became an issue. – 04:25 AM GMT
