	12:43pm sphere: @ Bryce - yeah, that is hard.
	♥ 12:43pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, sphere. It could have been a lot worse, we keep reminding ourselves.
	12:44pm sphere: @ Handy - yup.
	♥ 12:44pm Carmichael: Handy, you and k8 are the .001%!
	12:48pm Ramblin' Ray: Definitely a scary forest
	12:48pm stanlé: I just want to butt in and say this track is splendid. oh, and to say hello.
	♥ 12:49pm Handy Haversack: The reward ain't all it was cracked up to be, Carm. Hey, stanlé. Hope all is well.

	♥ 12:55pm David (in London): Salut stanlé
	♥ 12:56pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Bryce.
	♥ 12:59pm fred: Sorry to have broken the (late) news about Zinovieff so offhandedly, I thought the White Noise track was a tribute
	1:02pm Dr. Mabusa: Does this shit get any better? Bryce you are the master.
	1:06pm stanlé: hi handy. we've been to the hospital again and ze old man is a bit more himself. so I will sleep better tonight. sorry to hear about your business. what times eh! hi David hope you're doing well.
	♥ 1:06pm Passaic River Blues: Great set!
	♥ 1:07pm blee: Bravo, Bravo Bryce. Bravo!
	♥ 1:09pm Krys O.: This made me think that someone was dropping things in the production department here. LOL!
	♥ 1:11pm Bryce: it's a matter of time....
	♥ 1:14pm Krys O.: Dropping ball bearings, rewinding bicycle chain links on floor....
	♥ 1:14pm Carmichael: I love the sound of spurious noise in the morning.
	♥ 1:17pm Krys O.: Purring robot cats
	♥ 1:18pm Carmichael: I get this in my car while listening to the radio and driving next to power poles.
	♥ 1:18pm fred: @Krys O.: Careful with these ball bearings! They could damage a blender. (Also, I spent my college summers working at a ball bearing factory)
	1:19pm stanlé: Bryce, you are one sweet smelling geranium
	♥ 1:23pm Handy Haversack: Hoping for continued improvement, stanlé.
	♥ 1:25pm Rev. Turnip Druid: hello. is this where we boogie? may i boogie?
	♥ 1:26pm Krys O.: Thanks, fred! I work at an industrial printing company and we use large rolls of plastic film, resin ribbon, inkjet cartridges, etc. Just this morning there was the sound of cardboard cores bouncing on the cement floor. There is always the hum of printers and the rhythmic pounding of the presses. Oh, and two different streaming internet stations competing with each other. One is typically set on iHeart (gag) Z-100 and the other is MOR deep cuts that range from Gary Puckett and the Union Gap to Eagles and such.
	♥ 1:27pm Krys O.: Let the children boogie, Rev.
	1:28pm Dr. Mabusa: Zinovieff will be missed for his VCS3 and all the rest. Am saving up for a Syntrx - the Latvian VCS3 by Erica synths. Zinovieff was impressed.
	♥ 1:28pm David (in London): Reverend, you've got the boogie disease. Go for it.
	♥ 1:28pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ONE MUST BOOGIE
	♥ 1:30pm fred: Useless ball bearings fact: in many of these, the "balls" are not balls but truncated cones. These might be even more hazardous to blenders
	♥ 1:31pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I love listening to blurpy sounds like this while I gaze across the street to see the tractor attached to the farm cart which is offering coolers full of shelling and sugar snap peas.
	♥ 1:32pm David (in London): Fred, I think maybe you should send round a ball bearing factsheet so that we're all up to speed properly.
	1:36pm stanlé: this is primo grade shit. no doubt about it.
	♥ 1:36pm Michael 98145: I spent my college summers working in a machine shop as well, Should have brought a tape recorder to work.
	♥ 1:39pm Krys O.: Poor, useless ball bearings must have had an inferiority complex.
	♥ 1:39pm chresti: I love big cardboard tubes.
	♥ 1:40pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): My dad worked in a bearing factory in Connecticut.
	♥ 1:40pm TheRealMattClarke: Loving the show Bryce!
	♥ 1:41pm Handy Haversack: The Truncated Cones just never got the same level of attention as the Ball Bearings. By then the music biz had changed.
	♥ 1:41pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Truncated Coneheads might have been a fun SNL idea.
	♥ 1:42pm TheRealMattClarke: Would the "cones" be shorter, or would they end the skits early?
	♥ 1:44pm winston legthigh: darn im late for ball bearing class.
	♥ 1:44pm Snortley: Sound is cutting out on 91.1. There's a broadcast signal, but nothing audible.
	♥ 1:44pm Krys O.: Hey, chresti! We get the cardboard cores by the truckload. No kidding.
	♥ 1:47pm Krys O.: My dad was a machinist and over the years he made nuts and bolts, parts for motor boats, parts for vacuums, etc. The loud machine shop sounds resulted in hearing loss early on in his 50s.
	♥ 1:49pm winston legthigh: i still have grama's electrolux for display purposes only.
	♥ 1:49pm Michael 98145: i just lost all sense
	♥ 1:51pm Krys O.: Ah, winston, my dad worked at Electrolux for years until he retired. I bet it is the Art Deco sled model
	♥ 1:53pm winston legthigh: yes it is. like a sideways r2d2 with a hose sticking out of the end. was the factory in jersey?
	♥ 1:53pm I k e: 91.1 is very quiet or dead air, but 91.9 sounds great.
	1:54pm sphere: Panera just sent me an email inviting me to apply for a job there. The restaurant industry must be truly desperate at this point.
	♥ 1:55pm Snortley: Yes; it seems like the studio signal isn't reaching the West Orange transmitter.
	♥ 1:57pm Krys O.: @winston: The factory was originally in Old Greenwich, CT. I'm a transplanted New Jerseyan. My folks settled in Westchester County, NY. This was the classic model designed in 1937: collections.artsmia.org...
	♥ 1:57pm I k e: Watch out everyone, the multi-section blender truck full of ball bearings and liquid nitrogen (to freeze evil robots) is backing up!
	♥ 1:58pm fred: @sphere: I can only hope that paying starvation wages with no benefits turn out to be a losing business model. I'm not holding my breath though
	♥ 1:58pm winston legthigh: thats it only mine is newer, probably from the 60s.
	1:59pm Ramblin' Ray: Flash Gordon would approve
	1:59pm sphere: @ fred: agreed.
	♥ 2:03pm winston legthigh: is this thing on?
	♥ 2:05pm winston legthigh: will work for pantera cheap.
	♥ 2:06pm Snortley: Audio is back on 91.1.
	♥ 2:06pm 1ke: @fred, in fact, on a recent jaunt up north, I did see many, many, many “help wanted” signs at restaurants, and had the same reaction as you. In Burlington VT, some restaurants now close at 8:00, which I don’t recall being the case before — I wonder if it’s due to labor shortages. (OTOH my memory is absolute garbage, so who knows.)
	♥ 2:08pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @ike: They've been talking about that here all summer. Many blame it on the extended unemployment benefits. But there's another factor: this year the state got 25,000 less seasonal workers. Dunno, it's complicated.
	♥ 2:09pm fred: If only closing restaurants early could lead the patrons to demand $15
	♥ 2:13pm Michael 98145: what fred said
	2:14pm sphere: I believe that restaurant workers are following one of my dad's sayings: "if it hurts when you do that, don't DO that!"
	♥ 2:16pm winston legthigh: is that a cat with his head in a flip flop? hilarious.
	2:16pm sphere: yeah, Ike's graphic is awesome. :)
	♥ 2:17pm Carmichael: I worked in plenty of shitty kitchens at "upscale" restaurants to fund my schooling. That's why I love the book Kitchen Confidential, as it pretty much describes my work life then.
	♥ 2:17pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Yeah, and what with the rise in food costs, restaurants are in a bind. I've got a friend who's a restaurant manager and she's said that her food costs have blown up because of distribution issues, so even if she could off a ton more money to workers, she'd have to figure how how much of all of it to pass on to the patrons. Glad that's not my job.
	♥ 2:19pm Michael 98145: First of all, i'm glad i never had to work in a restaurant (wouldn't have the patience) and second of all it REALLY pisses me off to learn a restaurant has been stealing the workers' tips.
	♥ 2:23pm Handy Haversack: We both worked in restaurants for years. My dad was a waiter his whole life. We are pretty much dream customers now. K8 and I met in grad school, but it's almost more accurate to say we met because we worked at the same restaurant in grad school.
	2:25pm Brendan: @ Carmichael, Lots of tidbits in that one. I remember the part in the book about avoiding brunch. Leftovers served at three times mark up by beginners on the worst shift.
	♥ 2:26pm fred: @WoodsOfNH: I'm not saying restaurant owners are generally evil, though some may be. As you pointed out, they're not the ones making the most money, not are the small farmers. Evil and money tend to pool in the same places. Distribution seems a deep one
	♥ 2:27pm Handy Haversack: fred, there's something peculiarly depressing about seeing the massive Sysco truck pull up to a little restaurant in rural U.S. areas and begin to disgorge bland, monoculture produce -- when the restaurant is surrounded by farms.
	♥ 2:31pm I k e: @winston, I’ve tried to track down the origins of this mysterious classic GIF, but no dice yet. @woodsofNH, ah, I’d noticed the menu prices had all jumped quite a bit. I’d hoped that was all going to the employees, sigh.
	♥ 2:32pm winston legthigh: must be catnip in there somewhere.
	2:35pm jameson57: If you think these sounds are great does that make you crazy? Or something
	♥ 2:35pm Michael 98145: @HH, similar situation in Hawai'i ... where local farms are struggling to compete.
	♥ 2:36pm Michael 98145: (p.s. hope you are both getting better )
	2:36pm nick: The only successful restaurant modal was the 20th century diner. Eggs toast and coffee cost my dad less than a dime, sold it for 75 cents, customer would just a leave a dollar as a tip which went right back in the till cause the waitress was my 14 year old sister, and the cash literal 1000 percent profit proceeds would go undeclared in a paper bad bag back to Greece to build a villa.
	♥ 2:36pm chresti: I worked for about 3 days as a waitress at a Ho Jos, when I was about 16.
	♥ 2:37pm fred: @chresti: did you quit or were you fired?
	♥ 2:38pm chresti: fred, both.
	♥ 2:38pm winston legthigh: last night jeopardy question. where is the last remaining ho joes? what is lake george.
	♥ 2:39pm Handy Haversack: It's a good question in any context, winston. What IS Lake George?
	♥ 2:40pm chresti: I remember getting really upset when a guy at the counter kept screaming about ketchup.
	♥ 2:40pm fred: @chresti: did it count as a cocktail bar back then? (www.youtube.com...)
	♥ 2:40pm winston legthigh: that was you? sorry.
	♥ 2:41pm Handy Haversack: She was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar? A cocktail bar?
	♥ 2:41pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Lake George is where my mom used to raise hell when she was young.
	2:41pm Brendan: @Handy, it sad that the distribution chain has a giant middleman like Sysco delivering produce. I guess small farms can’t afford to deliver to restaurants or set up shop in a farmers market, and busy chefs can’t spend too much of their morning hours shopping for produce.Sadly I’ve come to accept that. I guess where I draw the line is restaurants serving ready-made meals from Sysco or other suppliers. Frozen soup. Pasta in a sealed bag that they throw in a pot of boiling water. No restaurant diner should be paying for that. When they could do that at home.
	♥ 2:41pm winston legthigh: that much is true.
	2:43pm jameson57: If you answered Lake George, Robin Roberts would have said "Sorry wrong"
	♥ 2:43pm chresti: There was a bar, my dad, who got me the job, went there often. The bar was adjacent to the coffee shop.
	♥ 2:43pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @fred Oh, I didn't think you were implying that. It sure is a complicated situation. We had our restaurant mgr friend over for dinner last Sunday and she messaged us saying she would be late because they were short staffed and she had two help with the after close cleanup. Several hours worth.
	♥ 2:44pm Rev. Turnip Druid: re: HoJos .. I still draw much comfort from Howard Johnsons being immortalized in a [great] prog album by Grobschnitt, during a spoken bit, with magnificent echo/delay.... "he rested... in the shade... of a... howard JOHNSONS / JOHNSONS / johnsons / johnsons..."
	♥ 2:44pm Rev. Turnip Druid: a magnificent thing
	♥ 2:44pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I miss HoJo's. Even the rubbery clam strips.
	♥ 2:44pm Bas NL: Jeez Bryce... what great sounds you are playing. And hello. And to all.
	♥ 2:45pm Rev. Turnip Druid: agreed. CoH is doing it.
	♥ 2:45pm Krys O.: Hello, Bas! I miss the ambiance of HoJos.
	♥ 2:45pm winston legthigh: gotta check the replay on that jameson57. thanks bryce, brycycles. see you later.
	2:46pm Brendan: Jaques Pepin started in America there. https://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/28/opinion/howard-johnsons-adieu.html
	♥ 2:47pm Bas NL: Hey Krys O!
	♥ 2:47pm chresti: Hi Bas! You escaped the flood waters last week? Did I already ask you that?
	2:48pm sphere: @ jameson57 - judging from the reasonable and insightful discussion on restaurants, I'd say liking this kind of music might make you smarter. :)
	♥ 2:49pm chresti: Krys O, I was SO into hangin' out at coffee shops when I was a teen.
	♥ 2:51pm Bas NL: Hi Chresti! Hah, no problems here in the middle of the country. South-East was mayhem though! Entire cities with four feet of water in the streets.
	♥ 2:51pm Krys O.: That's right, Brendan. I used to watch a lot of Jacques Pepin on TV with my mom. He would bring up HoJos. He also said his mother in France used ketchup in some of her recipes. @chresti: Same here with diners, old fashioned ice cream shoppes, etc.
	2:52pm jameson57: Ha! Once worked the overnight shift at a 24 hour diner. Friended the cops and the midnight crawlers It got really crazy at 2 AM when the bars closed on the weekend.
	♥ 2:52pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Speaking of Howard Johnsons and Jacques Pepin, there's a terrific book out there called 10 Restaurants That Changed America. There's a chapter on HoJos. The whole thing is a great read.
	♥ 2:52pm Krys O.: Incredible, Bas. Golly, the time! Thank you, Bryce and Marbled Ones!
	♥ 2:53pm chresti: ... and DONUT Shops, 24 hr places to hang out with a constant cup of coffee and napkins to draw on.
	♥ 2:53pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Something to be said for the contribution crap diner coffee made to american literature..
	♥ 2:53pm Rev. Turnip Druid: to be clear, big fan of crap diner coffee.
	2:54pm jameson57: We had good coffee at my diner.
	2:55pm Rock Ridge Chess Club: The water stabs my misophonia to the core.
	♥ 2:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Bryce. An enjoyable trip today.
	♥ 2:55pm fred: @RTD: Not sure "crap diner coffee house" is a promising business plan for your retirement from the puffin photoshop business
	♥ 2:57pm chresti: When I moved to LA, I'd go to the Woolworths coffee shop and cafeterias like Clifton's and Beadles in Pasadena.
	♥ 2:57pm Bryce: oh nooooooo! guess that's all she wrote! have a lovely, lovely week, allyall xo
	2:57pm sphere: Great show Bryce. Thanks!
	2:58pm WM: I don't think I've ever heard you play any Motrton Feldman. I think he deserves some air play.
	♥ 2:58pm Bas NL: Thanks Bryce!
	2:58pm Brendan: Picturing Hopper’s Nighthawks diner painting . Suddenly I have a craving for a slice of homemade pie and a coffee.
	♥ 2:58pm Rev. Turnip Druid: it's the brutal honesty that will keep people coming back. You get the crap diner coffee, no cream/milk/sugar/additives. No food menu. Just sit there and drink yr.crap diner coffee and write the great american novel. Typewriters welcome on the counter, bottomless refills. The mugwump on your right would like to have a word with you about your prospects...
	2:58pm P-90: Terrific show today @Bryce! Demonstrated once again why you are without exception my cat’s favorite DJ…
	♥ 3:00pm fred: Thanks Bryce!
	♥ 3:00pm David (in London): Thanks for a great show Bryce. Have a good weekend Brycicles.
	3:00pm Brendan: Here, here. Cheers to the proprietor of this bar and grille, Bryce.
	♥ 3:01pm chresti: Thanks Bryce!
	♥ 3:01pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Bryce!

	♥ 12:43pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, sphere. It could have been a lot worse, we keep reminding ourselves.
	12:44pm sphere: @ Handy - yup.
	♥ 12:44pm Carmichael: Handy, you and k8 are the .001%!
	12:48pm Ramblin' Ray: Definitely a scary forest
	12:48pm stanlé: I just want to butt in and say this track is splendid. oh, and to say hello.
	♥ 12:49pm Handy Haversack: The reward ain't all it was cracked up to be, Carm. Hey, stanlé. Hope all is well.
	♥ 12:50pm chresti: Handy, hibiscus and sage have fever reducing qualities.

	♥ 12:55pm David (in London): Salut stanlé
	♥ 12:56pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Bryce.
	♥ 12:59pm fred: Sorry to have broken the (late) news about Zinovieff so offhandedly, I thought the White Noise track was a tribute
	1:02pm Dr. Mabusa: Does this shit get any better? Bryce you are the master.
	1:06pm stanlé: hi handy. we've been to the hospital again and ze old man is a bit more himself. so I will sleep better tonight. sorry to hear about your business. what times eh! hi David hope you're doing well.
	♥ 1:06pm Passaic River Blues: Great set!
	♥ 1:07pm blee: Bravo, Bravo Bryce. Bravo!
	♥ 1:09pm Krys O.: This made me think that someone was dropping things in the production department here. LOL!
	♥ 1:11pm Bryce: it's a matter of time....
	♥ 1:14pm Krys O.: Dropping ball bearings, rewinding bicycle chain links on floor....
	♥ 1:14pm Carmichael: I love the sound of spurious noise in the morning.
	♥ 1:17pm Krys O.: Purring robot cats
	♥ 1:18pm Carmichael: I get this in my car while listening to the radio and driving next to power poles.
	♥ 1:18pm fred: @Krys O.: Careful with these ball bearings! They could damage a blender. (Also, I spent my college summers working at a ball bearing factory)
	1:19pm stanlé: Bryce, you are one sweet smelling geranium
	♥ 1:23pm Handy Haversack: Hoping for continued improvement, stanlé.
	♥ 1:25pm Rev. Turnip Druid: hello. is this where we boogie? may i boogie?
	♥ 1:26pm Krys O.: Thanks, fred! I work at an industrial printing company and we use large rolls of plastic film, resin ribbon, inkjet cartridges, etc. Just this morning there was the sound of cardboard cores bouncing on the cement floor. There is always the hum of printers and the rhythmic pounding of the presses. Oh, and two different streaming internet stations competing with each other. One is typically set on iHeart (gag) Z-100 and the other is MOR deep cuts that range from Gary Puckett and the Union Gap to Eagles and such.
	♥ 1:27pm Krys O.: Let the children boogie, Rev.
	1:28pm Dr. Mabusa: Zinovieff will be missed for his VCS3 and all the rest. Am saving up for a Syntrx - the Latvian VCS3 by Erica synths. Zinovieff was impressed.
	♥ 1:28pm David (in London): Reverend, you've got the boogie disease. Go for it.
	♥ 1:28pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ONE MUST BOOGIE
	♥ 1:30pm fred: Useless ball bearings fact: in many of these, the "balls" are not balls but truncated cones. These might be even more hazardous to blenders
	♥ 1:31pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I love listening to blurpy sounds like this while I gaze across the street to see the tractor attached to the farm cart which is offering coolers full of shelling and sugar snap peas.
	♥ 1:32pm David (in London): Fred, I think maybe you should send round a ball bearing factsheet so that we're all up to speed properly.
	1:36pm stanlé: this is primo grade shit. no doubt about it.
	♥ 1:36pm Michael 98145: I spent my college summers working in a machine shop as well, Should have brought a tape recorder to work.
	♥ 1:39pm Krys O.: Poor, useless ball bearings must have had an inferiority complex.
	♥ 1:39pm chresti: I love big cardboard tubes.
	♥ 1:40pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): My dad worked in a bearing factory in Connecticut.
	♥ 1:40pm TheRealMattClarke: Loving the show Bryce!
	♥ 1:41pm Handy Haversack: The Truncated Cones just never got the same level of attention as the Ball Bearings. By then the music biz had changed.
	♥ 1:41pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Truncated Coneheads might have been a fun SNL idea.
	♥ 1:42pm TheRealMattClarke: Would the "cones" be shorter, or would they end the skits early?
	♥ 1:44pm winston legthigh: darn im late for ball bearing class.
	♥ 1:44pm Snortley: Sound is cutting out on 91.1. There's a broadcast signal, but nothing audible.
	♥ 1:44pm Krys O.: Hey, chresti! We get the cardboard cores by the truckload. No kidding.
	♥ 1:47pm Krys O.: My dad was a machinist and over the years he made nuts and bolts, parts for motor boats, parts for vacuums, etc. The loud machine shop sounds resulted in hearing loss early on in his 50s.
	♥ 1:49pm winston legthigh: i still have grama's electrolux for display purposes only.
	♥ 1:49pm Michael 98145: i just lost all sense
	♥ 1:51pm Krys O.: Ah, winston, my dad worked at Electrolux for years until he retired. I bet it is the Art Deco sled model
	♥ 1:53pm winston legthigh: yes it is. like a sideways r2d2 with a hose sticking out of the end. was the factory in jersey?
	♥ 1:53pm I k e: 91.1 is very quiet or dead air, but 91.9 sounds great.
	1:54pm sphere: Panera just sent me an email inviting me to apply for a job there. The restaurant industry must be truly desperate at this point.
	♥ 1:55pm Snortley: Yes; it seems like the studio signal isn't reaching the West Orange transmitter.
	♥ 1:57pm Krys O.: @winston: The factory was originally in Old Greenwich, CT. I'm a transplanted New Jerseyan. My folks settled in Westchester County, NY. This was the classic model designed in 1937: collections.artsmia.org...
	♥ 1:57pm I k e: Watch out everyone, the multi-section blender truck full of ball bearings and liquid nitrogen (to freeze evil robots) is backing up!
	♥ 1:58pm fred: @sphere: I can only hope that paying starvation wages with no benefits turn out to be a losing business model. I'm not holding my breath though
	♥ 1:58pm winston legthigh: thats it only mine is newer, probably from the 60s.
	1:59pm Ramblin' Ray: Flash Gordon would approve
	1:59pm sphere: @ fred: agreed.
	♥ 2:03pm winston legthigh: is this thing on?
	♥ 2:05pm winston legthigh: will work for pantera cheap.
	♥ 2:06pm Snortley: Audio is back on 91.1.
	♥ 2:06pm 1ke: @fred, in fact, on a recent jaunt up north, I did see many, many, many “help wanted” signs at restaurants, and had the same reaction as you. In Burlington VT, some restaurants now close at 8:00, which I don’t recall being the case before — I wonder if it’s due to labor shortages. (OTOH my memory is absolute garbage, so who knows.)
	♥ 2:08pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @ike: They've been talking about that here all summer. Many blame it on the extended unemployment benefits. But there's another factor: this year the state got 25,000 less seasonal workers. Dunno, it's complicated.
	♥ 2:09pm fred: If only closing restaurants early could lead the patrons to demand $15
	♥ 2:13pm Michael 98145: what fred said
	2:14pm sphere: I believe that restaurant workers are following one of my dad's sayings: "if it hurts when you do that, don't DO that!"
	♥ 2:16pm winston legthigh: is that a cat with his head in a flip flop? hilarious.
	2:16pm sphere: yeah, Ike's graphic is awesome. :)
	♥ 2:17pm Carmichael: I worked in plenty of shitty kitchens at "upscale" restaurants to fund my schooling. That's why I love the book Kitchen Confidential, as it pretty much describes my work life then.
	♥ 2:17pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Yeah, and what with the rise in food costs, restaurants are in a bind. I've got a friend who's a restaurant manager and she's said that her food costs have blown up because of distribution issues, so even if she could off a ton more money to workers, she'd have to figure how how much of all of it to pass on to the patrons. Glad that's not my job.
	♥ 2:19pm Michael 98145: First of all, i'm glad i never had to work in a restaurant (wouldn't have the patience) and second of all it REALLY pisses me off to learn a restaurant has been stealing the workers' tips.
	♥ 2:23pm Handy Haversack: We both worked in restaurants for years. My dad was a waiter his whole life. We are pretty much dream customers now. K8 and I met in grad school, but it's almost more accurate to say we met because we worked at the same restaurant in grad school.
	2:25pm Brendan: @ Carmichael, Lots of tidbits in that one. I remember the part in the book about avoiding brunch. Leftovers served at three times mark up by beginners on the worst shift.
	♥ 2:26pm fred: @WoodsOfNH: I'm not saying restaurant owners are generally evil, though some may be. As you pointed out, they're not the ones making the most money, not are the small farmers. Evil and money tend to pool in the same places. Distribution seems a deep one
	♥ 2:27pm Handy Haversack: fred, there's something peculiarly depressing about seeing the massive Sysco truck pull up to a little restaurant in rural U.S. areas and begin to disgorge bland, monoculture produce -- when the restaurant is surrounded by farms.
	♥ 2:31pm I k e: @winston, I’ve tried to track down the origins of this mysterious classic GIF, but no dice yet. @woodsofNH, ah, I’d noticed the menu prices had all jumped quite a bit. I’d hoped that was all going to the employees, sigh.
	♥ 2:32pm winston legthigh: must be catnip in there somewhere.
	2:35pm jameson57: If you think these sounds are great does that make you crazy? Or something
	♥ 2:35pm Michael 98145: @HH, similar situation in Hawai'i ... where local farms are struggling to compete.
	♥ 2:36pm Michael 98145: (p.s. hope you are both getting better )
	2:36pm nick: The only successful restaurant modal was the 20th century diner. Eggs toast and coffee cost my dad less than a dime, sold it for 75 cents, customer would just a leave a dollar as a tip which went right back in the till cause the waitress was my 14 year old sister, and the cash literal 1000 percent profit proceeds would go undeclared in a paper bad bag back to Greece to build a villa.
	♥ 2:36pm chresti: I worked for about 3 days as a waitress at a Ho Jos, when I was about 16.
	♥ 2:37pm fred: @chresti: did you quit or were you fired?
	♥ 2:38pm chresti: fred, both.
	♥ 2:38pm winston legthigh: last night jeopardy question. where is the last remaining ho joes? what is lake george.
	♥ 2:39pm Handy Haversack: It's a good question in any context, winston. What IS Lake George?
	♥ 2:40pm chresti: I remember getting really upset when a guy at the counter kept screaming about ketchup.
	♥ 2:40pm fred: @chresti: did it count as a cocktail bar back then? (www.youtube.com...)
	♥ 2:40pm winston legthigh: that was you? sorry.
	♥ 2:41pm Handy Haversack: She was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar? A cocktail bar?
	♥ 2:41pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Lake George is where my mom used to raise hell when she was young.
	2:41pm Brendan: @Handy, it sad that the distribution chain has a giant middleman like Sysco delivering produce. I guess small farms can’t afford to deliver to restaurants or set up shop in a farmers market, and busy chefs can’t spend too much of their morning hours shopping for produce.Sadly I’ve come to accept that. I guess where I draw the line is restaurants serving ready-made meals from Sysco or other suppliers. Frozen soup. Pasta in a sealed bag that they throw in a pot of boiling water. No restaurant diner should be paying for that. When they could do that at home.
	♥ 2:41pm winston legthigh: that much is true.
	2:43pm jameson57: If you answered Lake George, Robin Roberts would have said "Sorry wrong"
	♥ 2:43pm chresti: There was a bar, my dad, who got me the job, went there often. The bar was adjacent to the coffee shop.
	♥ 2:43pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @fred Oh, I didn't think you were implying that. It sure is a complicated situation. We had our restaurant mgr friend over for dinner last Sunday and she messaged us saying she would be late because they were short staffed and she had two help with the after close cleanup. Several hours worth.
	♥ 2:44pm Rev. Turnip Druid: re: HoJos .. I still draw much comfort from Howard Johnsons being immortalized in a [great] prog album by Grobschnitt, during a spoken bit, with magnificent echo/delay.... "he rested... in the shade... of a... howard JOHNSONS / JOHNSONS / johnsons / johnsons..."
	♥ 2:44pm Rev. Turnip Druid: a magnificent thing
	♥ 2:44pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I miss HoJo's. Even the rubbery clam strips.
	♥ 2:44pm Bas NL: Jeez Bryce... what great sounds you are playing. And hello. And to all.
	♥ 2:45pm Rev. Turnip Druid: agreed. CoH is doing it.
	♥ 2:45pm Krys O.: Hello, Bas! I miss the ambiance of HoJos.
	♥ 2:45pm winston legthigh: gotta check the replay on that jameson57. thanks bryce, brycycles. see you later.
	2:46pm Brendan: Jaques Pepin started in America there. https://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/28/opinion/howard-johnsons-adieu.html
	♥ 2:47pm Bas NL: Hey Krys O!
	♥ 2:47pm chresti: Hi Bas! You escaped the flood waters last week? Did I already ask you that?
	2:48pm sphere: @ jameson57 - judging from the reasonable and insightful discussion on restaurants, I'd say liking this kind of music might make you smarter. :)
	♥ 2:49pm chresti: Krys O, I was SO into hangin' out at coffee shops when I was a teen.
	♥ 2:51pm Bas NL: Hi Chresti! Hah, no problems here in the middle of the country. South-East was mayhem though! Entire cities with four feet of water in the streets.
	♥ 2:51pm Krys O.: That's right, Brendan. I used to watch a lot of Jacques Pepin on TV with my mom. He would bring up HoJos. He also said his mother in France used ketchup in some of her recipes. @chresti: Same here with diners, old fashioned ice cream shoppes, etc.
	2:52pm jameson57: Ha! Once worked the overnight shift at a 24 hour diner. Friended the cops and the midnight crawlers It got really crazy at 2 AM when the bars closed on the weekend.
	♥ 2:52pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Speaking of Howard Johnsons and Jacques Pepin, there's a terrific book out there called 10 Restaurants That Changed America. There's a chapter on HoJos. The whole thing is a great read.
	♥ 2:52pm Krys O.: Incredible, Bas. Golly, the time! Thank you, Bryce and Marbled Ones!
	♥ 2:53pm chresti: ... and DONUT Shops, 24 hr places to hang out with a constant cup of coffee and napkins to draw on.
	♥ 2:53pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Something to be said for the contribution crap diner coffee made to american literature..
	♥ 2:53pm Rev. Turnip Druid: to be clear, big fan of crap diner coffee.
	2:54pm jameson57: We had good coffee at my diner.
	2:55pm Rock Ridge Chess Club: The water stabs my misophonia to the core.
	♥ 2:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Bryce. An enjoyable trip today.
	♥ 2:55pm fred: @RTD: Not sure "crap diner coffee house" is a promising business plan for your retirement from the puffin photoshop business
	♥ 2:57pm chresti: When I moved to LA, I'd go to the Woolworths coffee shop and cafeterias like Clifton's and Beadles in Pasadena.
	♥ 2:57pm Bryce: oh nooooooo! guess that's all she wrote! have a lovely, lovely week, allyall xo
	2:57pm sphere: Great show Bryce. Thanks!
	2:58pm WM: I don't think I've ever heard you play any Motrton Feldman. I think he deserves some air play.
	♥ 2:58pm Bas NL: Thanks Bryce!
	2:58pm Brendan: Picturing Hopper’s Nighthawks diner painting . Suddenly I have a craving for a slice of homemade pie and a coffee.
	♥ 2:58pm Rev. Turnip Druid: it's the brutal honesty that will keep people coming back. You get the crap diner coffee, no cream/milk/sugar/additives. No food menu. Just sit there and drink yr.crap diner coffee and write the great american novel. Typewriters welcome on the counter, bottomless refills. The mugwump on your right would like to have a word with you about your prospects...
	2:58pm P-90: Terrific show today @Bryce! Demonstrated once again why you are without exception my cat’s favorite DJ…
	♥ 3:00pm fred: Thanks Bryce!
	♥ 3:00pm David (in London): Thanks for a great show Bryce. Have a good weekend Brycicles.
	3:00pm Brendan: Here, here. Cheers to the proprietor of this bar and grille, Bryce.
