Based on the article it seems like the band has a pretty good case, but it’s also hard to believe that they could take on a juggernaut of this magnitude.
I grew up in the system and have absolutely no allegiance whatsoever to my “family” name. Other than my kids and future grandkids being happy and healthy my last name can die out and I wouldn’t be upset.
While thinking about that, I was considering my sons. I’m really not sure how I would feel if they played a reverse card and took their wife’s last name. Logically I know it’s pretty meaningless in the grand scheme, but this tradition is so ingrained it would still be weird to me.
Anyone else have a thought?
Edit: Reading through the comments I have changed my mind, I don’t think it would be weird. As long as it didn’t have to do with them being ashamed for whatever reason of the last name I wouldn’t care. Especially if their partners last names were cooler.
It’s not currently in use. They have no idea it’s there and if they did probably wouldn’t care. Bank mergers happen all the time and this branch could have been built 100 different names ago. It’s a multi-national conglomeration the soul is gone, it only exists as function now.
I do some technician work and I noticed this in the maintenance/server room. The branch has a safe deposit vault so it was built to be a bank, this little safe was also added during construction.
So the Model-A is and will be until the very end. Who was the last person to lock it? Where did the key go? When was the last time it was thought of before this?
It won’t talk or tell us. Long after the readers of this post and I are dust, this little model-a will continue holding its secrets.

Not necessarily the best, but the one that drained you so emotionally you still think about how powerful it was.

Against all* enemies foreign and domestic.*
The President of the United States of America takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Gunnery Sergeant Jeffrey Edward Bohr, Jr., United States Marine Corps, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy while serving as Company Gunnery Sergeant, Company A, First Battalion, Fifth Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 5, FIRST Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force in support of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM on 10 April 2003. With his company assigned the dangerous mission of seizing a presidential palace in Baghdad and concerned that logistical re-supply might be slow in reaching his comrades once they reached the objective, Gunnery Sergeant Bohr selflessly volunteered to move in his two soft-skinned vehicles with the company’s main armored convoy. While moving through narrow streets toward the objective, the convoy took intense small arms and rocket propelled grenade fire. Throughout this movement, Gunnery Sergeant Bohr delivered accurate, effective fires on the enemy while encouraging his Marines and supplying critical information to his company commander. When the lead vehicles of the convoy reached a dead end and were subjected to enemy fire, Gunnery Sergeant Bohr continued to boldly engage the enemy while calmly maneuvering his Marines to safety. Upon learning of a wounded Marine in a forward vehicle, Gunnery Sergeant Bohr immediately coordinated medical treatment and evacuation. Moving to the position of the injured Marine, Gunnery Sergeant Bohr continued to lay down a high volume of suppressive fire, while simultaneously guiding the medical evacuation vehicle, until he was mortally wounded by enemy fire. By his bold leadership, wise judgment, and complete dedication to duty, Gunnery Sergeant Bohr reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service.
The AI takes Carl and Donut to the Wastelands. Their quest? Stop the Gunslinger from reaching the Dark Tower. Can they succeed? Or will they be just another obstacle in Roland’s path to the Tower?
Carl and Donut (DCC series) are transported to a special floor. The Wastelands. Their quest from the AI is to stop Roland (The Dark Tower series) before he reaches the tower. Can Donut and Carl win? Will they succeed against the last true Gunslinger?
Or will Roland remember the face of his father and clear yet another obstacle on his path to the tower?
I’ve gone through DCC 3-4 times, (I drive a lot for work and listen to audio books every day) and have really enjoyed it. But after finishing book 8 again I decided to check out another of Matt’s books.
And, I liked it more.
I liked the message, the characters and story. It really resonates especially in today’s world. I think that’s why I prefer it.
I wouldn’t want to live in the world of DCC even after all is said and done. But the idea of living in a community like New Sonora appeals to me.
I hope he doesn’t continue the story, I hope they’re left alone and follow rule 10.
A month or so ago I commented on another sub about children sleepovers and got down voted for not understanding why it was a big deal.
For me sleepovers are not only great memories. But IMO important social teaching.
I guess some parents today feel like it’s too dangerous and too much of a chance. I think that’s reactionary from having too much access to information and less and less kid friendly spaces.
Anyone else encounter this?
I’m a low voltage guy so I don’t mess with the high test stuff. I’ve never seen a line this degraded. Does it need to be replaced? And who is responsible the electric company or the homeowner?
