Nothing, but I drank Federweisser.WWGD said:Was has du geracht?
If you drank it quickly, it was Federweisser Express. Which reminds me, I need to send a package.fresh_42 said:Nothing, but I drank Federweisser.
Yes, because in their customer brochures and in their annual reports, they always say that their usual phone response time is very fast.WWGD said:Somehow , every single time I'm on the phone waiting for costumer service, I'm toldthe expected wait is longer than usual. Every time.

I once had a similar encounter. I met a big stag standing in the middle of a small road through a mountainous forest on my way home on an early winter evening. I was lucky to be slow because snow was all around, road included. If it had rained instead ...Borg said:I just missed hitting a deer on the way to work this morning at 4am. I drive very carefully and mostly under the speed limit because I see so many each morning. I'll have to check my dashcam tonight but I didn't see him until he was almost past the front of the car, trotting across the road. A 1/2 second difference and I would have hit him square on. As it was, I had to swerve hard left to avoid him. Very close call. That definitely got the adrenaline going this morning.
Maybe the headlight effect, of deer not being able to process it, understand it?BillTre said:I was driving home once in the early AM and came upon a deer in the road, not moving much.
So I slowly tried to drive past it.
When I got so that I was about even with the deer decided to run forward of my (I was driving very slowly) and then turned 90˚ across in front of the car. Going slow, I was able to stop. The deer then left.
Deer behavior can be erratic.

Oh. No, I guess not.Mayhem said:I must have one in a "Random Thoughts" thread?
phinds said:Random thought: I miss Evo.
WWGD said:Me too. Anyone know where she is?
Good news, @Evo is back in-country. She was out of the country in very rural areas with no Internet coverage (and yes, with a chainsaw riding in the bed of a pickup truck, as usual).Borg said:Hopefully not a self-inflicted mishap with her ban hammer.
But yeah, I haven't seen her in a while either. Hope she's doing OK.
She's looking for a chainsaw sharpener...phinds said:Can we hope to hear from her?
EDIT: scratch that. Of COURSE we can wish for it. What I mean is can we expect it?
I ask Microsoft to remind me of my Mom's birthday, or where I left my keys.fresh_42 said:It is quite a bit eerie. YouTube does know my preferences better than I do. They even manage to make a list of songs that I like but do not really belong together.
