After four years in Germany, I'm back in Canada, still have the red and white CANADA licence plates on my car.  An O.P.P. (Ontario Provincial Police) pulls me over.

OPP "Just got back from Germany huh!"

Me "Yes sir." as I hand over my licence, registration and insurance card.

OPP "Well, I'm about to teach you that we don't have 'autobahns' here.  We actually have speed limits."
he hands me a ticket

... does he stop there ... noooooooooooooooooooooo ....

OPP "Welcome home son. I love this time of the year!"

Me "cussin' a blue streak" as he's walking back to his car!

putt putt puttin along for what seemed like forever to get to where I was going!

Even though I'm sure it wasn't to you.

↑ 28 years ago - today I can laugh.  or maybe not. 

[lwfitz]

@ Sector11

Thats pretty funny! If you cant, Ill laugh at it until you can 

[Sector11]

Oh I can laugh at it ... today.  Not then though. 

BTW, I found it, unarchived my directory to my external drive.



Would you believe that speed limit sigh says 45 MPH - on that road!

I can see Bill Cosby is his souped up Shelby doin' "over 200MPH" now!!!!!

CRAP! Someday Ill find a wallpaper that you dont have 

[jedi]

lwfitz, Sector11 has all the wallpapers ever made!  When you dl'd one, it probably came directly from his computer!

My latest attempts with some old stuff...  sfetch not showing correct info on distro...


But archey does!

I read a fix about it here on the forums somewhere.  I'll find it later today, no biggie...

[VastOne]

@jedi  Is that from the new ISO that sfetch is not showing the correct information?

@all nice setups, layouts and walls...  Well done!

[falldown]

Jed can I get a copy of your email script (gmail and VSIDO).?.

[Sector11]

↑ Hey ... I don't have every wallpaper out there.

Why the last one lwfitz and jedi posted are new to me....

There must be a wallpaper site I didn't cruse through.   

That's my latest - added today's moonrise and set times above and below the VSIDO ORB that is hiding behind the new moon.

@jedi  Is that from the new ISO that sfetch is not showing the correct information?

No VastOne.  This is an older setup.  Maybe the 'iso' before last...   Not sure.  Definitely not the latest though.  That is on another partition.

[jedi]

Jed can I get a copy of your email script (gmail and VSIDO).?.

Yes for sure you can!  It is not mine however, this is the result of some *borrowing* off VastOne.  (i.e., that was my source!)  It will only work to check your gmail.

The python script;
