Sorry; for me, the night was quite mature at the time I posted this, and my math had gone south.  Of course two revolutions in a second and a half is 78rpm; a 45 would take a second and a half to complete *one* revolution.

Now listening to "Spring Cleaning", a song that Megan Slankard has, to my knowledge, only been recorded playing at a Concerts in the Park show several years ago.  (This is another archive.org recording.)

^ When I was living in California (stationed at the Presidio in SF, shortly before the second round of base closings under George the Elder) you could get "the hard stuff" in supermarkets.  On the other hand, in the non-dry counties of Utah, you have to go to special stores just to get beer.  But yeah, I suppose most of the rest of Amerika is like my backwards little backwater.

I think every tourist should be required to read The Ugly American (or watch the movie) and write a short paper on it before going on vacay. lol

Tobacco and alcohol are just two drugs that are only loosely regulated; there are quite a few drugs available OTC (caffeine, anyone?) that could benefit from tighter regulation.

What amuses me the most is states like NC (where I live) that allow the sale of beer and wine in supermarkets and convenience stores, but restrict "hard liquor" sales to state-owned Alcoholic Beverage Commission stores (sometimes called "package stores").  People can get just as pissed from beer as they can from whiskey... roll

^ "Don't get your bread where you get your meat", right?

Here in the US, we get just about everything - from food staples to alcohol & tobacco, magazines, clothes, sporting equipment, luggage, personal hygiene - from the same "box store".  Just another convenience in the American lifestyle that's made so many of us overweight...

By the way...remember when Philip changed the domain for the Statler repo?  The older XFCE-specific packages are still available here, but I have no idea how much longer they'll be left up...I'm sure Papanominal will want that disk space back eventually.

EDIT:  fixed link.
