My first two CDs were purchased at the same time. One is still in regular rotation, the other I haven't listened to in this millennia.
Something reminded me about the very first animated GIF I ever made, back when animated GIFs were actually animated images following the GIF89a specifcation, not the videos that sites like Giphy just call "GIFs" today. Ironically, I had to capture this as a video just to share.
If you'd like to know the laws by state, here's a very detailed and accurate map.

We're one of the hosts for the Overlook Porchfest in Portland tomorrow! I'm already having stress dreams about it, so I'm sure it'll be great! More info: overlookneighborhood.org/porchfest/
I don't normally drink spirits without mixers, but this one is quite enjoyable. Good work Stone Barn Brandyworks! 🥃 Cheers!

Today at #NoKings 3 in #PDX, @hlkfotos.com's hand painted "HE'S TREADING, BRO" sign was very popular. So many comments! The sign idea originated from bsky.app/profile/blue.... Thank you @blueheronfarm.bsky.social!

Well they certainly missed the mark they were shooting for. It's definitely more Dr Pepper than it is "vanilla and cola flavors."
I've lived in Portland for 18 months. Why am I only learning of this building today? "Provenance Hotels [...] renamed the hotel the Sentinel on March 14, 2014. The name is a reference to the robot-like stone sentinel sculptures along the roofline of the east building (the former Seward Hotel)."
I didn't actually know. I haven't seen those movies since they came out. But from searching online, it seems that the Talkboy voice recorder from Tiger Electronics might be what you're remembering.
