I’ll do YOU one better: WHY is @melroy@kbin.melroy.org?

You like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He’s been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is “Hip To Be Square”. A song so catchy, most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It’s also a personal statement about the band itself.

We were so preoccupied with whether or not we could that we didn’t stop to think if we should.

Except for me
You know why?

And my seat back in the full upright position

Another old girl that refuses to die, but sure likes to keep me busy and my wallet empty. I’ll get maybe a few weeks to enjoy the peace before something else decides it needs replacing, but luckily I do all the work myself… easy enough these days with YouTube and Toyota Camry forums.

But you have to trust the instruments and not become disoriented, takes lots of training and practice.

SO and I are in engineering fields and the bumfuck midwest was a commonality in job opportunities for both our areas of study (ChemE and EE). We bought a decently sized house and 10+ acres several years ago (thank jebus… definitely couldn’t afford it now) that’s about 30 minutes away from the “major” town where both our companies have an office/plant, but since COVID everything is semi-work from home now… that is, until management decides they need to lay people off and force everyone back into the office.

I’ll be honest, we probably aren’t going to stick around here for much longer… had a kid and the daycare options are terrible and I really don’t want them growing up with the regressive politics that have gotten out of control. We’ll gladly take our high earning jobs and associated state income taxes somewhere else rather than subsidize the bullshit… but its been nice being to amass a sizeable savings/investments and pay off all debt before the next move.
