2024-01-03 00:28:20 +0000 UTCI am just listening to your interesting ideas about how we perceive the passing of time as we age. I am a retired psychologist and 76 years old. And my experience is that every day goes by incredibly fast now. And therefore I would like to add another part of the possible explanation. As we age, we slow down. It takes me forever to do ordinary things that used to happen too quickly to even notice. So, I wonder if as we slow down, the world around us feels like it is running at stop speed by comparison?

2024-01-01 02:34:29 +0000 UTCGuess no one remembered the Snail Darter, but thanks to Steve for honoring Dave Etnier (Et-neyer) who discovered the little fish that made DC crazy. The Snail Darter was recently de-listed from the Endangered Species list. Dave got to see that before he died. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3QNtYwT72I

2023-12-31 07:43:31 +0000 UTCBack in the first half of SGU's history, there was a 'Go with Bob' or 'GwB' heuristic, so it's possible that Steve has unintentionally tuned his gamecraft to better challenge his best player.
