    > In fact, a new study published today in The Journal of Headache and Pain suggests headaches are a common condition that affects people around the globe.

    This is why USA Today has its particular journalistic reputation as a good source of birdcage liner.

    Couldn't help but notice that just about every one of those sex-scene shows were from something other than broadcast TV – Netflix, Hulu, or a paid service like HBO – rather than over-the-air broadcast TV... which means if you want smut you still have to pay for it one way or the other.

    I agree BB, when I hear/read TV I separate it from cable/subscription services.
    I suppose I'll be accused of being behind the times, but I'm really a hep cat.
    Now excuse me while I yell at the whippersnappers on my lawn.

    Maybe I'll buy that Yellowstone pass to use in my golden years.

    Built my own octagonal log house 25 years ago when I got out of grad school, and never heard of the craze from the 1850's. The local building department said my plans for a 1000 sqft house were too small. Didn't want to spend more for more logs, so on the plane to Japan for my wedding I came up with the idea for an octagon. Like Fowler, I knew a circle was more efficient and settled for an octagon.
    When I saw a 1500 year old octagonal temple in Japan, I knew I had to do it.
