The regular carillon dude just played the national anthem at a ridiculous speed… The carillon is located in our church in the centre of town... He normally plays one hour a week, on Wednesdays from 11-12am... If, like me, you live nearby, and you always have your window open, you can hear it as clear as a bell...

I should add that the fella has been 100% blind since he was 9...

I recently received tenure at my university. I’m excited since it’s the culmination of a lot of hard work and it also gives my family some stability moving forward, which can be in short supply nowadays.

Congratulation's @Wlemon !
Achieving that in California is no small feat. Now if the rest of the country could just get back to normal

[Wlemon]

Yes. It's really competitive here. It took me years to just find the job, then all the work to actually achieve tenure. Glad that process is over!

A 5.2 earthquake hit around 8:10 this AM. Kind of rare for this area, centered around 70 miles north of me. I definitely felt it. One cat just looked at me, then Nala ran for cover.

@ROman:

^Congratulations.

Thank you!

Congrats, Wlemon…

And luckily for the cat it wasn't a carpet bombing...

No place in cyberspace I’d rather be. For me,the best online community out there. Been really helpful/therapeutic during the pandemic,and then there’s the clothes.

Wait, there are clothes here?! I thought it was just beer, bread and Belgians.

Haha, I just checked my own stats

Just over 5 years a member, spent just under 30 days on the forum….the last two years personally have been tough with changes in jobs and now the current COVID19 situation, but I am trying to get more actively involved.

I just love this place and all you fine folks....thanks for being here as I get back into being more active here

[neph93]

Strange coincidence that this conversation should start up now.. turns out that my six year anniversary is this coming Tuesday!
