8:08 am

Scrabbler

I have the website but a 404 error with that link.

8:08 am

Shirlockc

omuamua, omuamua, how lovely and how interesting; each fact begets another clue; of your journey and type of thing; omuamua, omuamua, you're the science star this year!

8:08 am

Shirlockc

https://www.space.com/38798-first-inte\nrstellar-object-name-oumuamua.html

8:12 am

Scrabbler

The link still has a 404 error so I googled ouamuamua and see the story now.

8:12 am

Shirlockc

hmmm, it keeps putting in that extra \

8:13 am

car.eeyore

Good morning

8:13 am

Shirlockc

that's why it's 404 -- not sure why it's doing that since when I paste the URL, the extra \ isn't in it

8:13 am

Scrabbler

Hi Car!

8:18 am

Trifioso

last day indeed, scrabbler. Not a half day though, so it's a bit of a struggle to keep them contained

8:18 am

Scrabbler

Hi Sukee. I just need to wrap gifts. And cook on Sunday for my mother's Christmas meal.

8:18 am

sukee

We got snow here, about 10 cm. Looks like it has stopped for now.

8:19 am

car.eeyore

Pretty :)

8:19 am

Scrabbler

Kids and parents were nuts in the office this week. Feral kids. And parents want their kids germ-free.

sukee

It is, since I don't have to go out in it :)

8:19 am

sukee

I bet Scrabs, lots of extra sugar too :)

8:20 am

Not always. Almost everything is on Spotify these days.

8:44 am

sukee

And there is no copyright infringement :)

8:45 am

penquis

8:45 am

sukee

8:54 am

Judi

Very sad occurrence in town this a.m. Our officers responded to a pedestrian struck by a vehicle. 25 year old kid on his way to work at Amazon (which is right up the road). 6:30 a.m., still dark. He was killed instantly.

8:54 am

penquis

how awful....

8:54 am

Shirlockc

sorry to hear, judi, v. sad indeed

8:54 am

origami

very sad

8:54 am

Trifioso

oh that is so sad judi...and right before the holidays

8:55 am

Judi

His birthday would have been Dec. 24th.

8:55 am

penquis

there was a meeting in our town a few weeks ago put on by the state....it was to talk about what could be done to reduce the number of pedestrian accidents....

8:55 am

Judi

Officers just left to go make notification to family members.

8:55 am

penquis

what a terrible task....

8:57 am

Judi

Life lesson: always take great care when crossing any road, especially when dark. It looks like he was in a crosswalk, so not sure if he was jay walking or the car was ignoring the signal.

8:58 am

penquis

or if the driver was doing something on his phone....that's what i worry about....

8:58 am

Judi

Don't know the details yet.

9:01 am

Judi

I can't imagine how horrified I'd be if I struck someone with my car.

9:05 am

MLFAN17

hello all

9:05 am

penquis

i did once many years ago.....actually, the person struck my car....14 year old girl ran out from between two parked cars and hit me on the passenger side headlight area, flopped onto my hood and windshield and then back onto the pavement....luckily she was not hurt other than some bruises....it was right in front of the fire station in the summer.....the firemen were all sitting outside and saw it happen....they responded before i could get out of my car....

9:06 am

Shirlockc

lucky girl

9:06 am

Judi

Wow, Pen.

9:06 am

origami

How awful pen

9:06 am

Shirlockc

always look both ways

9:06 am

Judi

Foolish, but lucky girl.

9:06 am

penquis

yes...apparently kids had been doing that ll day and the firemen had warned them that someone would get hurt...

9:07 am

penquis

it was awful, but it turned out ok....and thank goodness for the firemen....they took care of everything...

9:07 am

Shirlockc

i grew up in HK, i still look left first then right then left again

9:07 am

MLFAN17

I do that too shirl when I am outside crossing a street in my wheelchair

9:07 am

penquis

my kid did not look either way....just ran out into the street from between two parked cars...

9:08 am

penquis

luckily i was going very slowly because I had just turned onto that street and it was in town....

9:08 am

MLFAN17

9:10 am

Judi

On the cell phone distraction note, there is a hilarious video on YouTube that shows people walking while looking at their phones. My favorite is the woman who walks straight into a fountain pool at the mall.

9:11 am

penquis

i think it's illegal to do that in crosswalks in some towns...

9:11 am

MLFAN17

funny but not.. I love the ones who just walking into poles

9:12 am

Shirlockc

the mall over here used to have a decorative feature, a river flowing down the middle of the walkway -- i always thought that was a baaaad idea. they recently paved it over

9:13 am

Judi

In the college town near us, the City has painted signs on the ground at the entrances of the crosswalks. They say "LOOK UP".

9:13 am

origami

There are 1.5 million people in the Sacramento area and I swear they are all on their phones while driving

9:13 am

MLFAN17

probably a good idea shirl

9:13 am

MLFAN17

judi OH MY GOD that is brilliant!

9:14 am

Judi

LOL, Shirl. Yeah, a mall river is just an accident waiting to happen.

9:14 am

Shirlockc

i almost tripped over it myself and i was NOT looking at my phone

9:14 am

Shirlockc

not to mention the garbage that ended up in there

9:14 am

Judi

Brilliant yes. Also quite sad really.
