I’m a single-car person again. Got about what I expected on a good day, not what we asked.

#music Thank heaven I'm not being pressed to pick my favorite Bob Dylan album.Highway 61 and Blood on the Tracks would be in the top five, but after that? Yikes! Here's the entire "Tracks" album.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKcNyMBw818&list=PLWYs5zVlt6JAwL0-nN2_xOQp_2gNwQJaF

#bookstodon @bookstodon If you're looking for some interesting social history, read Ron Brownstein's "Rock Me on the Water." His thesis is that Los Angeles hit its peak influence on American culture in 1974. Music, TV, Film and Politics are the four areas he focuses on, with interviews of those who were there. Good book.https://www.amazon.com/Rock-Water-1974-Transformed-Television/dp/006289921X

Random Quote

Let’s start with the three fundamental Rules of Robotics…. We have: one, a robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Two, a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. And three, a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

— Isaac Asimov
