Cancer Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 There used to be a cheesesteak place just off the U of Arizona campus in Tucson named Greasy Tony's. Their motto was "No charge for extra grease!" and if some unaware noob said that aloud in their hearing, the register guy would call out "No charge for extra grease!", which the cook would repeat "No charge for extra grease!" and ladle another dipper of griddle grease onto that order as it cooked.

Cancer Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 Grading moon labs at the moment. Then grading mass assignments. Then comes the final search of the office looking for missing papers. Then comes setting the curves and posting grades. I expect to have that last done before end of business tomorrow. Which is good, because they must be in my noon my time Wednesday. Then I get to read more faculty application packages before the meeting lunchtime Thursday. Then I ought to start paying attention to the Christmas shopping I have steadfastly held out of my awareness so far this year. So yeah, second week of January seems like a good prediction on my part.

Cancer Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 Having some very odd access issues. See my thread in the "Site Questions" forum. Wonder if I'll have to give up on this ancient old pad. (I got to this thread by going to my profile page and clicking "see my activity" and selecting the link to the post of mine 2 spots above.)

Cancer Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 About 12.5 cm of rain in the last three days, in our end of town. Down south at the airport, just short of 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 Meanwhile, both the palm and the aloe plants in the bathroom are blooming. Never mind the wierd grey-brown mushrooms in the yard around the fence. "Fluted black elfin saddle," Helvella lacunosa. And all right before Christmas. Or the winter solstice, if you like that reference better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
