I spent one night in the Ellicott Dorms. I was a commuter and was at the Ridge Lea campus at the computing center (back when you had to use punch cards and wait up to an hour for your print out). It was like 2 AM and my battery died. The intercampus bus stopped around 10 PM. Someone who was also leaving (dandy have jumper cables either) saw my dilemma and offered to give me a ride to the Amherst campus and told me I could sleep in a lounge the rest of the night. In the AM, took the bus to Ridge lea,got a jump and a new battery. The Ridge Lea campus is currently in the process of being leveled for a Costco.

She had a heart attack/stroke (maybe). This may be the most she recovers. Everyone has their own pace. I had stroke 9 years ago and could have had a fatal heart attack if the clot had gone to my heart instead of my head. I laid in the bed in the hospital and wondered if I would be anywhere near normal again. Everyone has their own pace of recovery, that is IF they recover. Luckily, I recovered almost completely. Some people don't. You would mot know I had one if you meet me in person. It took me almost a year to recover. One thing it did was make me almost immune to things upsetting me.

It was '76. I worked at my first job then. It was the year before the Blizzard of '77.

Back in March 1976, most of WNY had no power for a week, some for 2 weeks from an ice storm. We were dark for a week. Generators were almost non-existant. Luckily in my parents bedroom on the second floor, they had installed a gas wall furnace. We (parents and us 3 kids) lived up there for the week. When my dad went to use the bathroom, we would all line up to follow him after he warmed up the seat 😀. He would open the oven door and turn on the gas to warm up the downstairs a little. Of course ha would turn ir off after we were al done.

I really haven't seen anything about EV range or charge life in climates like WNY winters.we get a storm like last Christmas and your EV is sitting there for another week or more. -
The Library was on the second floor about 2 blocks south of UB (if my memory doesn't fail me). The place was lined with bookshelves. I grabbed one to see if it was real and it was. Speaking of grabbing, the bar was super packed and if you stood near the ladies room, you could grab mucho a** just by being packed against the crowd. Probably was way,way over the fire code. MightyTaco on Bailey - back then no sit down, so get your food and leave. Stopped there with a friend and got my food first and waited outside on the sidewalk. This guy comes running down the sidewalk being chased by several others. The lead chaser had a piece of PVC pipe to beat him with. The chasee gets near me and tries to use me as a shield. The guy with the PVC shoves me out of the way to get to him and the group starts beating him in the middle of Bailey Avenue. Someone in the MT called the cops and as soon as the sirens started they all split. My friend comes out of MT and goes "What happened?" Wilkinson Pub- That was the bar in the Ellicott dorms. In late 1978, I remember seeing posters all over campus for Blondie playing at the Wilkinson Pub. That was less than 6 months before them hitting it big nationally.

Ship burning with 3000 cars on it. Believed to be the EV batteries that started it. 30 of age cars were TVs. Solar farm near Watertown , NY burning right now. Believed to be the storage batteries n the solar farm. May take weeks to put out -
Carlee Russell was arrested today.

Oh and 10 years ago they just crapped in the escalators, not on the street. The escalator to one of theunderground BART stations downtown broke down. When they took it apart to repair it, they found that the mechanism was packed with crap.

Joke needs something to take the focus off of Hunter.

Doesn't surprise me. Over 10 tears ago had to go into SF every so often for jobs. Parked near BART stations on the other side of the bay and took the BART in. Saved a lot of $ that way. Would walk down Market St at about 9 AM to city offices and see the storeowners hosing down the urine off the sidewalks. In the library, all the bathrooms were disgusting except for one in the basement that was out of the way.

Commie b*st*rd says what? -
Schoop or the Bulldog (don't listen enough to know which one it was) sounded pissed off about what Diggs said today. Was disappointed that the press didn't press more. Only heard a few seconds while driving. That was enough for me.

Why wasn't she there for the 2 AM naked hammer fight club?

Nixon was not impeached. He resigned before it could get to impeachment. You may be too young to realize what was going on. I was a junior in HS when the hearings were going on. Junior year wqsaa US history. My social studies teacher spent all spring going over the constitution and how it applied to the hearings.She had us watch the national news and then discuss itt he next day.
