Well, I did it. Blew right past 15,000 posts without noticing it. I want to thank everyone for the rec's.

They say that I am posting meaningful, encouraging, informative, funny and maybe even helpful stuff.

I rarely check the lounge because I am bonkers busy (even especially in retirement) with photography, music, wandering about the “estate” here, with either camera or chainsaw, depending … and last of all, CHORES.

I also cruise Hacker News and find fantastic stuff to share, which I share on DU. That’s a flood of info, and it takes time to condense and post.

OK, that’s it for now! Thanks again for all the rec’s!
I’ve seriously got to clean up the kitchen,

SOMEONE made a mess.

I blame these guys.

Points if you know who wrote the music to the “original” Iron Chef program.
It was used in a movie.

The music for the original Iron Chef was by Hans Zimmer. It was in the movie "Backdraft"

I blew right through a few, too.
But, I caught 50, 60, & 70 thousand.
It's fun to hit those big round numbers!
