WFMU: Continental Subway with David Dichelle: Playlist from April 21, 2022

Listener comments!
	🚂 12:00pm Handy Haversack: Hints of spring along the lonely road. Hey there, David and all the fellow travelers! A Raiders of the Lost Ark-style animated map that shows the moving red line of the Random Road stops would be pretty cool. Someone should get on that!
	🚂 12:00pm Bas NL: Hi David & co-travelers!
	12:01pm doctorjazz: Man on a Hill, cool! Hi David and all!
	🚂 12:01pm WR: Here for the start and interesting start.
	🚂 12:02pm Yvang: Hi David & the continentals! Let the voyage begin!
	🚂 12:02pm JETIO BOB: Running for the train as it departs the station .... grabbing the hand-rail and jumping on to the step .... Hi everyone! Where's this crazy train heading, anyhow?
	12:03pm headcleaner: Der Frühling lockt
	🚂 12:03pm Handy Haversack: Whoa, for the second week in a row, the Random Road Random Guess Generator predicts: Central African Republic! What are the odds?!
	12:04pm David Dichelle: Greetings Handy, Bas, Doc, WR, Yvang, Jetio Bob, Headcleaner!
	12:04pm David Dichelle: Handy (12:00), yes that would be wonderful!
	🚂 12:05pm Diana in Hungary: Thank you, David, for playing Kálvin tér! My internet is down, tuning in from my phone… hi everyone!
	🚂 12:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: SubwayTime !
	🚂 12:05pm JETIO BOB: (hmmm i might know someone with skillz to do that )
	12:05pm David Dichelle: Thank you, Diana, for the recommendation!
	🚂 12:05pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Hopping on the Subway! Usual standing guesses of Estonia, Chad, Laos, and Paraguay.
	12:06pm doctorjazz: I'm still\| guessing Staten Island (many important musical traditions here!).
	12:06pm David Dichelle: And hello RRN and 3M!
	🚂 12:06pm Handy Haversack: (Hmmm, I might have mentioned it knowing that you might know someone with those skillz, YB!)
	🚂 12:06pm Yvang: Turkey will be my bet for this week.
	12:07pm David Dichelle: Staten Island might turn up on an island randomizer.
	🚂 12:07pm Handy Haversack: David, these names jumped out at me when looking at my list today. Do you have a sense of whether these are all too small to factor? Cocos (Keeling) Islands (the) Mayotte Faroe Islands (the) South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands Wallis and Futuna
	12:08pm David Dichelle: Good questions, my feeling is that the Faroes and Mayotte should work out.
	🚂 12:08pm chresti: Hi David and Continentals!
	🚂 12:08pm Handy Haversack: Pogues!
	🚂 12:08pm Handy Haversack: Cranking it!
	🚂 12:09pm Yvang: Classic Pogues tune!
	12:09pm David Dichelle: Hello Chresti!
	🚂 12:09pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: POGUES! OK entire episode clickystarred....
	🚂 12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It is good to hear classic Pogues it is.
	12:09pm Stanley: Hey David and all abord. Just arrived back home from a holiday on Arran. The weather was fantastic, all sparkly wondermost of the Scottish countrybold in the sunshiney. Oh yes.
	12:10pm David Dichelle: Welcome home and aboard, Stanley!
	12:10pm Cmurtha: Hello everyone! I don't recall every nation we've done so let's say Trinidad and Tobago - if that's been done I'll toss my hat in the ring with Yvang
	🚂 12:10pm Bas NL: Yeay to the The Pogues!
	12:10pm doctorjazz: Great album, great group (Pogues), I hear they're from Staten Island...
	🚂 12:11pm Handy Haversack: Culturally, they're from Staten Island, but most of them grew up in London. So many Staten Island families had to move to London to find work ...
	🚂 12:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Stanley charmingly living up to your namesake Mr.Unwin.
	12:13pm Stanley: Thanks, Rev. I'm in that kind of mood.
	🚂 12:13pm Yvang: m.wfmu.org...
	12:15pm Cmurtha: Are you going to Scarborough Fairtown?
	🚂 12:15pm Yvang: Pre wfmu archives of the new show www.mixcloud.com...
	🚂 12:16pm Handy Haversack: Welcome back, Stanley. Holiday sounds fantastic. We have managed to scrape our passport-renewal materials together so hopefully will have those off to the government center tomorrow.
	12:17pm David Dichelle: Hello Cmurtha! Yes we went to T&T a few months ago in fact.
	12:17pm David Dichelle: Thanks for those links, Yvang!
	12:17pm Cmurtha: I felt like we did, but I couldn't recall.
	🚂 12:18pm Yvang: Simon and Garfunkel round the corner?
	🚂 12:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh man ! New Program looks richly satisfying. Problem is - up against solid programming on the mainstream Tue. eves. A good problem to have, yet a problem still...
	12:19pm Stanley: Hi Handy - I hope yours is more efficient than ours. It's taking up to 10 weeks, here.
	🚂 12:20pm Handy Haversack: Have the Drummer cognoscenti considered a week where Julie fills in for everyone? Could be pretty fantastic! I am hoping for seven weeks, Stanley. But expecting complete disaster.
	12:21pm David Dichelle: Scarborough Fair was Roud 12, this is another song sometimes with a similar name.
	12:23pm Sem: Hello, David, and all aboard. Hoping this week's random road involves a bullet train to Japan.
	12:23pm David Dichelle: Welcome aboard, Sem!
	🚂 12:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Invoking ScarboroughFair puts me in mind of Howard Goodall's technical 'Classical' perspective on TheBeatles : www.youtube.com... - & you lot here might appreciate that, I dunno ...digression...
	12:24pm doctorjazz: HH, I think Julie has an underground bunker just under the station, always ready for the call!
	12:32pm Cmurtha: I wonder how many of these Roud folksongs are about paying ransoms to Pirates...This one is ransoming from armed forces in general, but still, money exchanged on a ship.
	🚂 12:32pm βrian: Got tickets for Juana Molina. Woo hoo.
	🚂 12:33pm Handy Haversack: "The Jolly/Pretty/Simple Ploughboy" would be interesting as a single song, too. Nice, βrian!
	12:33pm David Dichelle: Yes, it seems to be quite a popular theme, Cmurtha.
	12:33pm David Dichelle: Hey βrian, sounds great!
	🚂 12:35pm dutchtheo: Hello David and jolly and pretty subway passengers. Let's go to RR Bosnia AND Herzegovina
	🚂 12:35pm βrian: Here's the venue: www.stoughtonoperahouse.com...
	12:36pm David Dichelle: A jolly good evening to you, DutchTheo!
	🚂 12:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: An Irish Trad band up my area calls itself The Press Gang - a press gang I understand being when one gets more or less kidnapped & recruited for a ship's crew.
	12:36pm Cmurtha: Comfort and Joy, Comfort and Joy.
	12:37pm Sem: An excellent Scottish film, that one, Cmurtha.
	🚂 12:41pm chris in the redwoods: ah, here in time for a bit o the Roud. nice. greetings, David and fellow travelers.
	12:42pm David Dichelle: Salutations, Chris!
	12:43pm coelacanth∅: Greetings David & Freedom Riders
	12:44pm David Dichelle: Hello there, Coel!
	🚂 12:45pm chris in the redwoods: hey, coel!
	12:48pm Sem: Nice wheels, coel. Volvo special, is it?
	12:48pm coelacanth∅: hey chris!
	12:49pm coelacanth∅: hey Sem! no, a vw
	12:51pm coelacanth∅: (1957 "enzmann")
	🚂 12:52pm YETI BOB: Not animated, or interactive, but it's a start imgur.com...
	12:52pm still b/p: Here's my full submitted master's thesis on Hierarchies and Evolution of Cultural-Structural Mechanisms in 18th-19th British Maritime History: "Press gangs! Booooooooo!"
	🚂 12:52pm JETIO BOB: (work in progress)
	12:53pm David Dichelle: You get an A+ from me, sbp!
	🚂 12:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seems like dedication to me YetiB ! Spiffy car for sure coel.
	🚂 12:54pm JETIO BOB: RevRab: It's me avoiding the code that I really should be debugging by writing some code that simple and fun and not yet ridden with bugs.
	12:54pm Cmurtha: Oh this is the melody used in Üsküdar'a Gider İken
	12:54pm David Dichelle: Oh wow, thanks so much, Jetio Bob!!!
	🚂 12:54pm JETIO BOB: I'll have a better version soon, David
	12:55pm David Dichelle: Looking forward, thank you!
	12:56pm David Dichelle: One step ahead, Cmurtha!
	12:58pm Cmurtha: I wonder what happened while leaving from Uskudar on the way to the Disco. Love it.
	🚂 12:59pm Handy Haversack: Spark? Is this a lone Mael?
	12:59pm David Dichelle: We may never find out, alas.
	12:59pm David Dichelle: (In response to Cmurtha)
	1:00pm Sem: Great story to go w/ your car pic, coel: getyourclassic.com...
	1:03pm David Dichelle: Handy: This Spark is here: www.spark-die-klassische-band.de...
	🚂 1:04pm Diana in Hungary: Enjoying the Psarantonis.
	1:05pm Sem: Likewise!
	1:07pm Phillippe Bastille: Howdy from the road! In a car, not a subway. I’ll put my vote in for Brazil and then listen in from the road! Laters all!
	🚂 1:08pm Carmichael: Jaysis, finally out of the zoom and on the board. Heya David and fellow Nepalese music lovers.
	1:09pm David Dichelle: Greetings Phillippe on the road and Carmichael off the Zoom!
	🚂 1:11pm YETI BOB: Version #2, animated. imgur.com... I have to get back to the work I'm getting paid to do. Will have a really nice version of this map by next week. Thanks for the idea, Handy!
	🚂 1:12pm YETI BOB: (Handy, I'm going out of my way to do this with open-source Python libraries and avoid Google Maps, which has some features for creating annotated maps. But what's the sport in that?)
	1:12pm David Dichelle: Wonderful, YB!
	🚂 1:13pm chresti: JETIO BOB, the map shows the roads taken?
	🚂 1:14pm JETIO BOB: Right now it just shows the countries we've been to, but I want to add the "road" between.
	🚂 1:14pm Carmichael: Following up on the rouds, Richard Thmpson was interviewed on NPR yesterday. A nice discussion about, among other things, why there is so much death, tragedy and infidelity in traditional English music: www.npr.org...
	1:16pm coelacanth∅: howdy Phillippe! Sem Thanks! i assumed it was a coachbuilder's design, not "production" but i never researched about it. i found it looking through pix of a vw festival.
	🚂 1:16pm Handy Haversack: Very cool, YB!
	1:17pm coelacanth∅: (bookmarked for later. kinda busy now)
	1:17pm Hubig Pie: Jetio Bob, I noticed your map never flashed on the Barbary Coast. That must change ! Algeria for me dammit ! Hello all
	1:18pm northguineahills: Did someone say "map"?
	🚂 1:19pm JETIO BOB: ngh: are you a cartographer? or cartophile?
	1:21pm northguineahills: @Jetiobob: I do cartography via my GIS work (when I'm working), but I'm also a cartophile.
	1:21pm David Dichelle: Hello Hubig Pie and NGH!
	🚂 1:22pm JETIO BOB: ngh: Forgive me my amateurish efforts!
	🚂 1:23pm JETIO BOB: I was just trying to see what I could bang together quickly. I'll prepare something much nicer for next week.
	🚂 1:23pm Handy Haversack: "... old Scottish and Irish palettes and English palettes are just wonderful storytelling ..." Well done, NPR. I guess that accurate transcriptions can't be corporately underwritten.
	1:23pm northguineahills: The problem I run into, is many venders like the Google Maps interface (due to familiarity), and usually want to use the cookie-cutter option, which can be irritating, but, if the end products is just for the population at large, I can't fault them.
	1:24pm David Dichelle: Thanks again for doing this, JB/YB!
	1:24pm Mark Hurst: Hi David, hi all!
	1:24pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Mark!
	🚂 1:25pm JETIO BOB: Sure, it's fun for me. I used a library called 'pygal' but I think I'm going to switch over to 'basemap' or 'folio'. Half of the struggle with open-source is figuring out which library to use!
	🚂 1:25pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Mark!
	🚂 1:25pm JETIO BOB: ('folium', not 'folio')
	🚂 1:26pm Handy Haversack: (Fond memories now of the 2021(?) Marathon show when Mark was David's MC.)
	1:26pm northguineahills: @Jetiobob: Due to my poor eyesight (cataracts due to other medication, waiting on the surgery soon), I can't really see most maps right now, anyways (it's rather frustrating. ok, folks, I'm off to volunteer at the shelter, pax!
	1:26pm Mark Hurst: @Handy thanks - yes that was a fun one!
	1:27pm David Dichelle: Yes, that was a great Marathon show!
	🚂 1:27pm Diana in Hungary: This Plantec is beautiful.
	1:27pm David Dichelle: See you later, NGH!
	🚂 1:28pm JETIO BOB: ngh: Take care! I hope the cataract surgery is trouble-free.
	1:28pm ChukAmok: That map of Jetio Bob's is animated at roughly the same tempo as Caustic Window's "101 Rainbows". Nice.
	1:30pm David Dichelle: NGH: Yes, all the best with that, I hope it works out soon.
	1:30pm David Dichelle: Hello, Chuk!
	1:31pm ChukAmok: Hi David!
	🚂 1:35pm JETIO BOB: Chuk: Its 4 frames per second, which comes out to 240 per minute, but you are probably feeling it at 120BPM
	1:37pm ChukAmok: Now back to tuning in after that brief and impulsive distraction.
	1:38pm ChukAmok: That's pretty close, JB.
	🚂 1:41pm Bas NL: Quick detour home again! And Uruguay. And awesome show already David!
	1:43pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Bas, happy homing!
	🚂 1:43pm chresti: Paraguay.
	🚂 1:46pm βrian: Georgia, as usual. Angola is my second choice.
	1:48pm Hubig Pie: Sublime tune
	🚂 1:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah great trax.
	🚂 1:50pm Handy Haversack: This is a Laibach cover, I believe.
	🚂 1:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...so - lie back & enjoy it...
	1:51pm David Dichelle: Yes, from an old Slovene folk tradition.
	🚂 1:51pm Handy Haversack: Heh.
	🚂 1:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Said to be one of the joys of PeterJackson's 'Get Back' - watching John & Paul putting this together in realtime ...Macca especially just farting out deathless Material ...as his band disintegrates...
	1:54pm still b/p: I like to think of Keith taking happy little mambo steps to that around a thatched patio bar with a drink in a coconut in hand.
	1:54pm coelacanth∅: we going to egypt today?
	🚂 1:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @ still b/p: ...& why not.
	🚂 1:58pm Handy Haversack: Ave Bas! Fun! I'll take my music Togo ...
	🚂 1:58pm βrian: Or, as the Brits say, "Takeaway."
	🚂 1:58pm chris in the redwoods: Bas! nice. lets all pogo to Togo.
	🚂 1:59pm Yvang: Way Togo, Bas!
	🚂 1:59pm Diana in Hungary: I saw the puns coming….
	🚂 1:59pm Yvang: Could not resist, sorry!
	🚂 2:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yeah ...Togoans never heard the puns before...
	2:00pm Sem: Did the GoGo's ever play Togo? Or was that Toto?
	🚂 2:00pm βrian: It was the puns who overran the Roman Empire.
	🚂 2:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...amazing the Romans didn't see 'em coming...
	🚂 2:02pm Diana in Hungary: But alas, I have to “exit” early, because we’re having a Shakespeare festival tomorrow…. Thanks for everything hitherto!
	2:02pm David Dichelle: Yes, those were the Punic Wars.
	🚂 2:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Parting of course is such sweet sorrow Diana.
	2:03pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Diana, all the best for the festival!
	🚂 2:03pm Diana in Hungary: Thank you, David!
	🚂 2:06pm JETIO BOB: red hot! love it!
	🚂 2:15pm Handy Haversack: YB, how is it going with the pregnant cat? She calm down at all?
	🚂 2:16pm Yvang: Togo : Not disapointing!
	🚂 2:19pm JETIO BOB: HH: The story doesn't quite have the ending that I, or anyone, wanted. The whole thing could have gone better, but it certainly could have gone much worse too.
	🚂 2:22pm JETIO BOB: Hwaet. Last Tuesday we trapped a cat who had been coming around our house since February. I had been feeding it outside, but it was very wary of humans. Because of some things that happened here in the past, we jumped to a few conclusions. 1) that she was female and 2) that she was pregnant. We felt fairly sure of those things at the time but we were probably wrong.
	🚂 2:22pm chris in the redwoods: they're down, with that funky sound, in Togo. nice.
	🚂 2:23pm JETIO BOB: I contacted a few local TNR (trap-neuter-release) organizations. They were all hard to contact, didn't return calls, etc. Their websites said that they lent out traps, but when I finally got hold of staff people, they said all the traps were lent out.
	🚂 2:24pm JETIO BOB: So, I just bought a Havahart trap. I was very surpised when it succeeded, on pretty much my first attempt to trap this cat, which by this point I had named "Mathilde"
	🚂 2:24pm JETIO BOB: (When I named her, I didn't know that Mathilde means "Mighty in Battle". This detail is relevant. Nomen est omen.)
	🚂 2:25pm JETIO BOB: She was clearly scared when the trap door snapped shut. I was watching through the window from inside. I went out, covered the trap with a blanket, and brought her in to the downstairs bathroom, where we thought she would give birth to a litter of adorable kittens.
	🚂 2:26pm Handy Haversack: (This is like waiting in the Americas for the next chapter of a Dickens novel to cross the sea!)
	🚂 2:27pm chris in the redwoods: i have 30 year-old scars on my arms from a mighty in battle moment with a kitters.
	🚂 2:28pm Bas NL: Back home! Ahhrggg, i guessed Togo last week! Nice! :)
	🚂 2:28pm JETIO BOB: Here she is. imgur.com...
	🚂 2:29pm JETIO BOB: She jumped up onto this windowsill in the bathroom and stayed up there most of the time. She would only come down to eat and drink at night.
	🚂 2:29pm JETIO BOB: [Bas, you still won, in absentia]
	🚂 2:29pm Bas NL: :)
	2:30pm David Dichelle: Welcome back, Bas, yes your guess from last week was not forgotten!
	🚂 2:30pm JETIO BOB: I felt almost guilty about trapping the cat, as though I had tricked her. But still thought we were doing something good for her, and for her kittens, and for everyone.
	🚂 2:31pm Handy Haversack: Oh no, sad kitty! ("Fools Rush In" in the refrain?)
	🚂 2:31pm chris in the redwoods: yeah, she still looks concerned (flattened ears).
	🚂 2:31pm chris in the redwoods: hear it too, Handy. hehe.
	2:32pm ChukAmok: @Jetio Bob I have relied on the simultaneous use of several Have-A-Heart traps to remove opossums from the crawl space under my house. I felt guilty the first time, but when I released them into some woods about 10 miles away they seemed grateful for the apples and tunafish I used as bait. Very safe and humane from my experience.
	🚂 2:33pm JETIO BOB: Our domestic cats Albert and Sonja were remarkably nonchalant about the feral cat in the bathroom. We thought they'd be upset, but they pretended not to notice. I'm sure they could smell something but there was no through-the-door interaction. Mathilde never made a peep. Chris, that photo was from the first day, but it didn't change too much.
	🚂 2:33pm JETIO BOB: Chuk: Yes, the trap was harmless, but she was just terrified. She nearly jumped out of her skin when the door slammed shut.
	🚂 2:34pm JETIO BOB: Anyhow, we tried again contacting the TNR associations, telling them we had done the "T" part and needed help with the "NR". And the reaction was - "You did WHAT? You have a feral cat in your BATHROOM now?"
	🚂 2:35pm JETIO BOB: (Also, we're questioning the pregnancy, and thinking she might even be a he. Hard to get close enough to really do an examination).
	🚂 2:35pm JETIO BOB: TreeHouse was booked out 3 months for spay appointments. Our house is starting to smell. Our cats are starting to get less cool about it. I'm starting to wonder if I made a huge mistake.
	2:36pm Funky16Corners: Hey David!
	🚂 2:36pm Handy Haversack: Oh jeez. That's a LOT, YB. Any advice from your veterinarian?
	🚂 2:36pm JETIO BOB: But our regular vet said they would examine her and advise us, if we could get her there. So, I get a cat carrier and some leather gloves.
	2:37pm Funky16Corners: Testify! Coming up at 3pm - https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/114673
	🚂 2:37pm JETIO BOB: The gloves were totally inadequate, as was the carrier. She's clawing and biting me as I try to shove her into the carrier through the top hatch.
	🚂 2:37pm Handy Haversack: Ah, ooo, it continues!
	2:38pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Larry!
	🚂 2:38pm Carmichael: Maybe you saved a bobcat, Yeti.
	🚂 2:38pm Handy Haversack: Oh no!
	🚂 2:38pm JETIO BOB: And then ... POP. the top pops off. Amazing amount of strength in such a small package. I think I can overpower her, but it's not so easy.
	🚂 2:38pm chris in the redwoods: oh god, YB. i'm sympathy bleeding.
	🚂 2:39pm JETIO BOB: Then when the top pops off the carrier, she jumps up INTO MY FACE, basically trying to claw my eyes out. Lucky I wear glasses and have big brow-ridges! She hooks one claw right through my eyebrow. She's attached to my face, my wife helps get her off of me, and gets a good bite in her hand.
	🚂 2:40pm Handy Haversack: Dude, don't I know it. Voltron can casually hold me off when I try to pill him. I'm using the utmost of my strength, and he's holding out one stiff-arm paw and going about his business unconcerned, grooming his face, reading a magazine, smoking a cigarette ... OH NO. It's like ALIEN!
	2:40pm David Dichelle: Yikes!
	🚂 2:40pm JETIO BOB: I've never been so up-close with such wild-animal energy. There was some real communication in that moment. I DON'T LIKE YOU. I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE. I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP. LEAVE ME ALONE.
	🚂 2:40pm Carmichael: Do you own a taser?
	🚂 2:42pm Handy Haversack: Damn. That is intense.
	🚂 2:42pm JETIO BOB: Ha, no weapons in the house. So we close the door, and take ourselves to the urgent care clinic, get tetanus shots and antibiotics. They said we don't have to worry about rabies, it's not prevalent in this area. "Are you SURE?" I asked. "Yes", they assured me. At this point my concern was only for my well-being and that of my wife and I felt terrible for possibly exposing us to a deadly illness.
	🚂 2:43pm JETIO BOB: But after multiple reassurances that we didn't have to keep the animal around for observation or autopsy, we decided we would just let her go.
	🚂 2:44pm JETIO BOB: Even that was a bit of a saga, I locked Albert and Sonja upstairs and opened up all the doors downstairs, including the door that was keeping her in the bathroom. But she didn't leave.
	🚂 2:45pm Handy Haversack: Damn, now it's like Cape Fear!
	🚂 2:46pm JETIO BOB: Eventually, she did. But well after midnight, after we had all gone to bed for the night. Mrs Y was not happy about going to bed with the front door propped open, but I didn't know what else to do.
	🚂 2:46pm JETIO BOB: So, instead of Trap-Neuter-Release, it was Trap-Terrorize-Release. (The terrorizing was mutual).
	🚂 2:47pm JETIO BOB: For a week, she was warm, dry, well-fed, and the scratches on her face healed up. But she hated every second of it, so I don't know if I did her any favors.
	🚂 2:48pm Carmichael: Ya try to jump in and do your part, and whatd'ya get for your troubles ...
	🚂 2:48pm chris in the redwoods: well, shit. sorry, YB.
	🚂 2:48pm Handy Haversack: Hotsie motise, YB, what a saga of pain! But a week of food and safety and warmth is always a good thing to give, so even with the heart-pounding action sequences, I think we can call this a feel-good story. You know, until you and Mrs. Bob turn into werecats!
	🚂 2:48pm JETIO BOB: Yesterday, I spent about 2 hours cleaning up the bathroom. Looked like a crime scene, and I felt like that Tarantino character cleaning it all up and destroying the evidence.
	🚂 2:49pm Handy Haversack: (I will try to complain less next time Bugbear suddenly decides to climb up to my shoulders but ends up hanging from my chest by his claws. It's very cute by contrast!)
	🚂 2:50pm JETIO BOB: I've thought about the whole thing a lot, and of course I had good intentions, but we all know about the road to hell ... I think good intentions are not sufficient, one also needs COMPETENCE, which I was lacking. Also there was a lack of support resources, I was doing this on my own without advice from somebody with experience).
	🚂 2:50pm JETIO BOB: I'm not going to stop trying to help, but next time, I hope I stop myself and ask: "Do I have a plan? Do I know what the hell I'm doing?" (Or do I just want to see some adorable newborn kittens?)
	🚂 2:51pm Yvang: Togo Metal! I like it!
	🚂 2:51pm chris in the redwoods: Togo has their own Metallica. nice.
	🚂 2:51pm Bas NL: Yes, very nice!
	🚂 2:51pm JETIO BOB: Sorry to flood the comments board today, David. I hope people enjoyed the story.
	2:52pm ChukAmok: Holy smokes, YB/JB. That is a crazy story. Glad everyone involved made it through in one piece.
	2:52pm David Dichelle: Thanks for sharing the story, JB - and glad you got through it without too serious damage.
	🚂 2:52pm Carmichael: Togo makes excellent sandwiches.
	🚂 2:52pm Handy Haversack: Damn, send this one to Marty McSorley for the Metal Set!
	2:53pm StringOFperils: I raise thee Viking halberd to this set! Thanks David, I feel all metal and ready to go now!
	🚂 2:54pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Thanks for the awesome show!

Listener comments!
	🚂 12:00pm Handy Haversack: Hints of spring along the lonely road. Hey there, David and all the fellow travelers! A Raiders of the Lost Ark-style animated map that shows the moving red line of the Random Road stops would be pretty cool. Someone should get on that!
	🚂 12:00pm Bas NL: Hi David & co-travelers!
	12:01pm doctorjazz: Man on a Hill, cool! Hi David and all!
	🚂 12:01pm WR: Here for the start and interesting start.
	🚂 12:02pm Yvang: Hi David & the continentals! Let the voyage begin!
	🚂 12:02pm JETIO BOB: Running for the train as it departs the station .... grabbing the hand-rail and jumping on to the step .... Hi everyone! Where's this crazy train heading, anyhow?
	12:03pm headcleaner: Der Frühling lockt
	🚂 12:03pm Handy Haversack: Whoa, for the second week in a row, the Random Road Random Guess Generator predicts: Central African Republic! What are the odds?!
	12:04pm David Dichelle: Greetings Handy, Bas, Doc, WR, Yvang, Jetio Bob, Headcleaner!
	12:04pm David Dichelle: Handy (12:00), yes that would be wonderful!
	🚂 12:05pm Diana in Hungary: Thank you, David, for playing Kálvin tér! My internet is down, tuning in from my phone… hi everyone!
	🚂 12:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: SubwayTime !
	🚂 12:05pm JETIO BOB: (hmmm i might know someone with skillz to do that )
	12:05pm David Dichelle: Thank you, Diana, for the recommendation!
	🚂 12:05pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Hopping on the Subway! Usual standing guesses of Estonia, Chad, Laos, and Paraguay.
	12:06pm doctorjazz: I'm still\| guessing Staten Island (many important musical traditions here!).
	12:06pm David Dichelle: And hello RRN and 3M!
	🚂 12:06pm Handy Haversack: (Hmmm, I might have mentioned it knowing that you might know someone with those skillz, YB!)
	🚂 12:06pm Yvang: Turkey will be my bet for this week.
	12:07pm David Dichelle: Staten Island might turn up on an island randomizer.
	🚂 12:07pm Handy Haversack: David, these names jumped out at me when looking at my list today. Do you have a sense of whether these are all too small to factor? Cocos (Keeling) Islands (the) Mayotte Faroe Islands (the) South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands Wallis and Futuna
	12:08pm David Dichelle: Good questions, my feeling is that the Faroes and Mayotte should work out.
	🚂 12:08pm chresti: Hi David and Continentals!
	🚂 12:08pm Handy Haversack: Pogues!
	🚂 12:08pm Handy Haversack: Cranking it!
	🚂 12:09pm Yvang: Classic Pogues tune!
	12:09pm David Dichelle: Hello Chresti!
	🚂 12:09pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: POGUES! OK entire episode clickystarred....
	🚂 12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It is good to hear classic Pogues it is.
	12:09pm Stanley: Hey David and all abord. Just arrived back home from a holiday on Arran. The weather was fantastic, all sparkly wondermost of the Scottish countrybold in the sunshiney. Oh yes.
	12:10pm David Dichelle: Welcome home and aboard, Stanley!
	12:10pm Cmurtha: Hello everyone! I don't recall every nation we've done so let's say Trinidad and Tobago - if that's been done I'll toss my hat in the ring with Yvang
	🚂 12:10pm Bas NL: Yeay to the The Pogues!
	12:10pm doctorjazz: Great album, great group (Pogues), I hear they're from Staten Island...
	🚂 12:11pm Handy Haversack: Culturally, they're from Staten Island, but most of them grew up in London. So many Staten Island families had to move to London to find work ...
	🚂 12:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Stanley charmingly living up to your namesake Mr.Unwin.
	12:13pm Stanley: Thanks, Rev. I'm in that kind of mood.
	🚂 12:13pm Yvang: m.wfmu.org...
	12:15pm Cmurtha: Are you going to Scarborough Fairtown?
	🚂 12:15pm Yvang: Pre wfmu archives of the new show www.mixcloud.com...
	🚂 12:16pm Handy Haversack: Welcome back, Stanley. Holiday sounds fantastic. We have managed to scrape our passport-renewal materials together so hopefully will have those off to the government center tomorrow.
	12:17pm David Dichelle: Hello Cmurtha! Yes we went to T&T a few months ago in fact.
	12:17pm David Dichelle: Thanks for those links, Yvang!
	12:17pm Cmurtha: I felt like we did, but I couldn't recall.
	🚂 12:18pm Yvang: Simon and Garfunkel round the corner?
	🚂 12:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh man ! New Program looks richly satisfying. Problem is - up against solid programming on the mainstream Tue. eves. A good problem to have, yet a problem still...
	12:19pm Stanley: Hi Handy - I hope yours is more efficient than ours. It's taking up to 10 weeks, here.
	🚂 12:20pm Handy Haversack: Have the Drummer cognoscenti considered a week where Julie fills in for everyone? Could be pretty fantastic! I am hoping for seven weeks, Stanley. But expecting complete disaster.
	12:21pm David Dichelle: Scarborough Fair was Roud 12, this is another song sometimes with a similar name.
	12:23pm Sem: Hello, David, and all aboard. Hoping this week's random road involves a bullet train to Japan.
	12:23pm David Dichelle: Welcome aboard, Sem!
	🚂 12:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Invoking ScarboroughFair puts me in mind of Howard Goodall's technical 'Classical' perspective on TheBeatles : www.youtube.com... - & you lot here might appreciate that, I dunno ...digression...
	12:24pm doctorjazz: HH, I think Julie has an underground bunker just under the station, always ready for the call!
	12:32pm Cmurtha: I wonder how many of these Roud folksongs are about paying ransoms to Pirates...This one is ransoming from armed forces in general, but still, money exchanged on a ship.
	🚂 12:32pm βrian: Got tickets for Juana Molina. Woo hoo.
	🚂 12:33pm Handy Haversack: "The Jolly/Pretty/Simple Ploughboy" would be interesting as a single song, too. Nice, βrian!
	12:33pm David Dichelle: Yes, it seems to be quite a popular theme, Cmurtha.
	12:33pm David Dichelle: Hey βrian, sounds great!
	🚂 12:35pm dutchtheo: Hello David and jolly and pretty subway passengers. Let's go to RR Bosnia AND Herzegovina
	🚂 12:35pm βrian: Here's the venue: www.stoughtonoperahouse.com...
	12:36pm David Dichelle: A jolly good evening to you, DutchTheo!
	🚂 12:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: An Irish Trad band up my area calls itself The Press Gang - a press gang I understand being when one gets more or less kidnapped & recruited for a ship's crew.
	12:36pm Cmurtha: Comfort and Joy, Comfort and Joy.
	12:37pm Sem: An excellent Scottish film, that one, Cmurtha.
	🚂 12:41pm chris in the redwoods: ah, here in time for a bit o the Roud. nice. greetings, David and fellow travelers.
	12:42pm David Dichelle: Salutations, Chris!
	12:43pm coelacanth∅: Greetings David & Freedom Riders
	12:44pm David Dichelle: Hello there, Coel!
	🚂 12:45pm chris in the redwoods: hey, coel!
	12:48pm Sem: Nice wheels, coel. Volvo special, is it?
	12:48pm coelacanth∅: hey chris!
	12:49pm coelacanth∅: hey Sem! no, a vw
	12:51pm coelacanth∅: (1957 "enzmann")
	🚂 12:52pm YETI BOB: Not animated, or interactive, but it's a start imgur.com...
	12:52pm still b/p: Here's my full submitted master's thesis on Hierarchies and Evolution of Cultural-Structural Mechanisms in 18th-19th British Maritime History: "Press gangs! Booooooooo!"
	🚂 12:52pm JETIO BOB: (work in progress)
	12:53pm David Dichelle: You get an A+ from me, sbp!
	🚂 12:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seems like dedication to me YetiB ! Spiffy car for sure coel.
	🚂 12:54pm JETIO BOB: RevRab: It's me avoiding the code that I really should be debugging by writing some code that simple and fun and not yet ridden with bugs.
	12:54pm Cmurtha: Oh this is the melody used in Üsküdar'a Gider İken
	12:54pm David Dichelle: Oh wow, thanks so much, Jetio Bob!!!
	🚂 12:54pm JETIO BOB: I'll have a better version soon, David
	12:55pm David Dichelle: Looking forward, thank you!
	12:56pm David Dichelle: One step ahead, Cmurtha!
	12:58pm Cmurtha: I wonder what happened while leaving from Uskudar on the way to the Disco. Love it.
	🚂 12:59pm Handy Haversack: Spark? Is this a lone Mael?
	12:59pm David Dichelle: We may never find out, alas.
	12:59pm David Dichelle: (In response to Cmurtha)
	1:00pm Sem: Great story to go w/ your car pic, coel: getyourclassic.com...
	1:03pm David Dichelle: Handy: This Spark is here: www.spark-die-klassische-band.de...
	🚂 1:04pm Diana in Hungary: Enjoying the Psarantonis.
	1:05pm Sem: Likewise!
	1:07pm Phillippe Bastille: Howdy from the road! In a car, not a subway. I’ll put my vote in for Brazil and then listen in from the road! Laters all!
	🚂 1:08pm Carmichael: Jaysis, finally out of the zoom and on the board. Heya David and fellow Nepalese music lovers.
	1:09pm David Dichelle: Greetings Phillippe on the road and Carmichael off the Zoom!
	🚂 1:11pm YETI BOB: Version #2, animated. imgur.com... I have to get back to the work I'm getting paid to do. Will have a really nice version of this map by next week. Thanks for the idea, Handy!
	🚂 1:12pm YETI BOB: (Handy, I'm going out of my way to do this with open-source Python libraries and avoid Google Maps, which has some features for creating annotated maps. But what's the sport in that?)
	1:12pm David Dichelle: Wonderful, YB!
	🚂 1:13pm chresti: JETIO BOB, the map shows the roads taken?
	🚂 1:14pm JETIO BOB: Right now it just shows the countries we've been to, but I want to add the "road" between.
	🚂 1:14pm Carmichael: Following up on the rouds, Richard Thmpson was interviewed on NPR yesterday. A nice discussion about, among other things, why there is so much death, tragedy and infidelity in traditional English music: www.npr.org...
	1:16pm coelacanth∅: howdy Phillippe! Sem Thanks! i assumed it was a coachbuilder's design, not "production" but i never researched about it. i found it looking through pix of a vw festival.
	🚂 1:16pm Handy Haversack: Very cool, YB!
	1:17pm coelacanth∅: (bookmarked for later. kinda busy now)
	1:17pm Hubig Pie: Jetio Bob, I noticed your map never flashed on the Barbary Coast. That must change ! Algeria for me dammit ! Hello all
	1:18pm northguineahills: Did someone say "map"?
	🚂 1:19pm JETIO BOB: ngh: are you a cartographer? or cartophile?
	1:21pm northguineahills: @Jetiobob: I do cartography via my GIS work (when I'm working), but I'm also a cartophile.
	1:21pm David Dichelle: Hello Hubig Pie and NGH!
	🚂 1:22pm JETIO BOB: ngh: Forgive me my amateurish efforts!
	🚂 1:23pm JETIO BOB: I was just trying to see what I could bang together quickly. I'll prepare something much nicer for next week.
	🚂 1:23pm Handy Haversack: "... old Scottish and Irish palettes and English palettes are just wonderful storytelling ..." Well done, NPR. I guess that accurate transcriptions can't be corporately underwritten.
	1:23pm northguineahills: The problem I run into, is many venders like the Google Maps interface (due to familiarity), and usually want to use the cookie-cutter option, which can be irritating, but, if the end products is just for the population at large, I can't fault them.
	1:24pm David Dichelle: Thanks again for doing this, JB/YB!
	1:24pm Mark Hurst: Hi David, hi all!
	1:24pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Mark!
	🚂 1:25pm JETIO BOB: Sure, it's fun for me. I used a library called 'pygal' but I think I'm going to switch over to 'basemap' or 'folio'. Half of the struggle with open-source is figuring out which library to use!
	🚂 1:25pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Mark!
	🚂 1:25pm JETIO BOB: ('folium', not 'folio')
	🚂 1:26pm Handy Haversack: (Fond memories now of the 2021(?) Marathon show when Mark was David's MC.)
	1:26pm northguineahills: @Jetiobob: Due to my poor eyesight (cataracts due to other medication, waiting on the surgery soon), I can't really see most maps right now, anyways (it's rather frustrating. ok, folks, I'm off to volunteer at the shelter, pax!
	1:26pm Mark Hurst: @Handy thanks - yes that was a fun one!
	1:27pm David Dichelle: Yes, that was a great Marathon show!
	🚂 1:27pm Diana in Hungary: This Plantec is beautiful.
	1:27pm David Dichelle: See you later, NGH!
	🚂 1:28pm JETIO BOB: ngh: Take care! I hope the cataract surgery is trouble-free.
	1:28pm ChukAmok: That map of Jetio Bob's is animated at roughly the same tempo as Caustic Window's "101 Rainbows". Nice.
	1:30pm David Dichelle: NGH: Yes, all the best with that, I hope it works out soon.
	1:30pm David Dichelle: Hello, Chuk!
	1:31pm ChukAmok: Hi David!
	🚂 1:35pm JETIO BOB: Chuk: Its 4 frames per second, which comes out to 240 per minute, but you are probably feeling it at 120BPM
	1:37pm ChukAmok: Now back to tuning in after that brief and impulsive distraction.
	1:38pm ChukAmok: That's pretty close, JB.
	🚂 1:41pm Bas NL: Quick detour home again! And Uruguay. And awesome show already David!
	1:43pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Bas, happy homing!
	🚂 1:43pm chresti: Paraguay.
	🚂 1:46pm βrian: Georgia, as usual. Angola is my second choice.
	1:48pm Hubig Pie: Sublime tune
	🚂 1:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah great trax.
	🚂 1:50pm Handy Haversack: This is a Laibach cover, I believe.
	🚂 1:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...so - lie back & enjoy it...
	1:51pm David Dichelle: Yes, from an old Slovene folk tradition.
	🚂 1:51pm Handy Haversack: Heh.
	🚂 1:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Said to be one of the joys of PeterJackson's 'Get Back' - watching John & Paul putting this together in realtime ...Macca especially just farting out deathless Material ...as his band disintegrates...
	1:54pm still b/p: I like to think of Keith taking happy little mambo steps to that around a thatched patio bar with a drink in a coconut in hand.
	1:54pm coelacanth∅: we going to egypt today?
	🚂 1:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @ still b/p: ...& why not.
	🚂 1:58pm Handy Haversack: Ave Bas! Fun! I'll take my music Togo ...
	🚂 1:58pm βrian: Or, as the Brits say, "Takeaway."
	🚂 1:58pm chris in the redwoods: Bas! nice. lets all pogo to Togo.
	🚂 1:59pm Yvang: Way Togo, Bas!
	🚂 1:59pm Diana in Hungary: I saw the puns coming….
	🚂 1:59pm Yvang: Could not resist, sorry!
	🚂 2:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yeah ...Togoans never heard the puns before...
	2:00pm Sem: Did the GoGo's ever play Togo? Or was that Toto?
	🚂 2:00pm βrian: It was the puns who overran the Roman Empire.
	🚂 2:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...amazing the Romans didn't see 'em coming...
	🚂 2:02pm Diana in Hungary: But alas, I have to “exit” early, because we’re having a Shakespeare festival tomorrow…. Thanks for everything hitherto!
	2:02pm David Dichelle: Yes, those were the Punic Wars.
	🚂 2:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Parting of course is such sweet sorrow Diana.
	2:03pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Diana, all the best for the festival!
	🚂 2:03pm Diana in Hungary: Thank you, David!
	🚂 2:06pm JETIO BOB: red hot! love it!
	🚂 2:15pm Handy Haversack: YB, how is it going with the pregnant cat? She calm down at all?
	🚂 2:16pm Yvang: Togo : Not disapointing!
	🚂 2:19pm JETIO BOB: HH: The story doesn't quite have the ending that I, or anyone, wanted. The whole thing could have gone better, but it certainly could have gone much worse too.
	🚂 2:22pm JETIO BOB: Hwaet. Last Tuesday we trapped a cat who had been coming around our house since February. I had been feeding it outside, but it was very wary of humans. Because of some things that happened here in the past, we jumped to a few conclusions. 1) that she was female and 2) that she was pregnant. We felt fairly sure of those things at the time but we were probably wrong.
	🚂 2:22pm chris in the redwoods: they're down, with that funky sound, in Togo. nice.
	🚂 2:23pm JETIO BOB: I contacted a few local TNR (trap-neuter-release) organizations. They were all hard to contact, didn't return calls, etc. Their websites said that they lent out traps, but when I finally got hold of staff people, they said all the traps were lent out.
	🚂 2:24pm JETIO BOB: So, I just bought a Havahart trap. I was very surpised when it succeeded, on pretty much my first attempt to trap this cat, which by this point I had named "Mathilde"
	🚂 2:24pm JETIO BOB: (When I named her, I didn't know that Mathilde means "Mighty in Battle". This detail is relevant. Nomen est omen.)
	🚂 2:25pm JETIO BOB: She was clearly scared when the trap door snapped shut. I was watching through the window from inside. I went out, covered the trap with a blanket, and brought her in to the downstairs bathroom, where we thought she would give birth to a litter of adorable kittens.
	🚂 2:26pm Handy Haversack: (This is like waiting in the Americas for the next chapter of a Dickens novel to cross the sea!)
	🚂 2:27pm chris in the redwoods: i have 30 year-old scars on my arms from a mighty in battle moment with a kitters.
	🚂 2:28pm Bas NL: Back home! Ahhrggg, i guessed Togo last week! Nice! :)
	🚂 2:28pm JETIO BOB: Here she is. imgur.com...
	🚂 2:29pm JETIO BOB: She jumped up onto this windowsill in the bathroom and stayed up there most of the time. She would only come down to eat and drink at night.
	🚂 2:29pm JETIO BOB: [Bas, you still won, in absentia]
	🚂 2:29pm Bas NL: :)
	2:30pm David Dichelle: Welcome back, Bas, yes your guess from last week was not forgotten!
	🚂 2:30pm JETIO BOB: I felt almost guilty about trapping the cat, as though I had tricked her. But still thought we were doing something good for her, and for her kittens, and for everyone.
	🚂 2:31pm Handy Haversack: Oh no, sad kitty! ("Fools Rush In" in the refrain?)
	🚂 2:31pm chris in the redwoods: yeah, she still looks concerned (flattened ears).
	🚂 2:31pm chris in the redwoods: hear it too, Handy. hehe.
	2:32pm ChukAmok: @Jetio Bob I have relied on the simultaneous use of several Have-A-Heart traps to remove opossums from the crawl space under my house. I felt guilty the first time, but when I released them into some woods about 10 miles away they seemed grateful for the apples and tunafish I used as bait. Very safe and humane from my experience.
	🚂 2:33pm JETIO BOB: Our domestic cats Albert and Sonja were remarkably nonchalant about the feral cat in the bathroom. We thought they'd be upset, but they pretended not to notice. I'm sure they could smell something but there was no through-the-door interaction. Mathilde never made a peep. Chris, that photo was from the first day, but it didn't change too much.
	🚂 2:33pm JETIO BOB: Chuk: Yes, the trap was harmless, but she was just terrified. She nearly jumped out of her skin when the door slammed shut.
	🚂 2:34pm JETIO BOB: Anyhow, we tried again contacting the TNR associations, telling them we had done the "T" part and needed help with the "NR". And the reaction was - "You did WHAT? You have a feral cat in your BATHROOM now?"
	🚂 2:35pm JETIO BOB: (Also, we're questioning the pregnancy, and thinking she might even be a he. Hard to get close enough to really do an examination).
	🚂 2:35pm JETIO BOB: TreeHouse was booked out 3 months for spay appointments. Our house is starting to smell. Our cats are starting to get less cool about it. I'm starting to wonder if I made a huge mistake.
	2:36pm Funky16Corners: Hey David!
	🚂 2:36pm Handy Haversack: Oh jeez. That's a LOT, YB. Any advice from your veterinarian?
	🚂 2:36pm JETIO BOB: But our regular vet said they would examine her and advise us, if we could get her there. So, I get a cat carrier and some leather gloves.
	2:37pm Funky16Corners: Testify! Coming up at 3pm - https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/114673
	🚂 2:37pm JETIO BOB: The gloves were totally inadequate, as was the carrier. She's clawing and biting me as I try to shove her into the carrier through the top hatch.
	🚂 2:37pm Handy Haversack: Ah, ooo, it continues!
	2:38pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Larry!
	🚂 2:38pm Carmichael: Maybe you saved a bobcat, Yeti.
	🚂 2:38pm Handy Haversack: Oh no!
	🚂 2:38pm JETIO BOB: And then ... POP. the top pops off. Amazing amount of strength in such a small package. I think I can overpower her, but it's not so easy.
	🚂 2:38pm chris in the redwoods: oh god, YB. i'm sympathy bleeding.
	🚂 2:39pm JETIO BOB: Then when the top pops off the carrier, she jumps up INTO MY FACE, basically trying to claw my eyes out. Lucky I wear glasses and have big brow-ridges! She hooks one claw right through my eyebrow. She's attached to my face, my wife helps get her off of me, and gets a good bite in her hand.
	🚂 2:40pm Handy Haversack: Dude, don't I know it. Voltron can casually hold me off when I try to pill him. I'm using the utmost of my strength, and he's holding out one stiff-arm paw and going about his business unconcerned, grooming his face, reading a magazine, smoking a cigarette ... OH NO. It's like ALIEN!
	2:40pm David Dichelle: Yikes!
	🚂 2:40pm JETIO BOB: I've never been so up-close with such wild-animal energy. There was some real communication in that moment. I DON'T LIKE YOU. I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE. I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP. LEAVE ME ALONE.
	🚂 2:40pm Carmichael: Do you own a taser?
	🚂 2:42pm Handy Haversack: Damn. That is intense.
	🚂 2:42pm JETIO BOB: Ha, no weapons in the house. So we close the door, and take ourselves to the urgent care clinic, get tetanus shots and antibiotics. They said we don't have to worry about rabies, it's not prevalent in this area. "Are you SURE?" I asked. "Yes", they assured me. At this point my concern was only for my well-being and that of my wife and I felt terrible for possibly exposing us to a deadly illness.
	🚂 2:43pm JETIO BOB: But after multiple reassurances that we didn't have to keep the animal around for observation or autopsy, we decided we would just let her go.
	🚂 2:44pm JETIO BOB: Even that was a bit of a saga, I locked Albert and Sonja upstairs and opened up all the doors downstairs, including the door that was keeping her in the bathroom. But she didn't leave.
	🚂 2:45pm Handy Haversack: Damn, now it's like Cape Fear!
	🚂 2:46pm JETIO BOB: Eventually, she did. But well after midnight, after we had all gone to bed for the night. Mrs Y was not happy about going to bed with the front door propped open, but I didn't know what else to do.
	🚂 2:46pm JETIO BOB: So, instead of Trap-Neuter-Release, it was Trap-Terrorize-Release. (The terrorizing was mutual).
	🚂 2:47pm JETIO BOB: For a week, she was warm, dry, well-fed, and the scratches on her face healed up. But she hated every second of it, so I don't know if I did her any favors.
	🚂 2:48pm Carmichael: Ya try to jump in and do your part, and whatd'ya get for your troubles ...
	🚂 2:48pm chris in the redwoods: well, shit. sorry, YB.
	🚂 2:48pm Handy Haversack: Hotsie motise, YB, what a saga of pain! But a week of food and safety and warmth is always a good thing to give, so even with the heart-pounding action sequences, I think we can call this a feel-good story. You know, until you and Mrs. Bob turn into werecats!
	🚂 2:48pm JETIO BOB: Yesterday, I spent about 2 hours cleaning up the bathroom. Looked like a crime scene, and I felt like that Tarantino character cleaning it all up and destroying the evidence.
	🚂 2:49pm Handy Haversack: (I will try to complain less next time Bugbear suddenly decides to climb up to my shoulders but ends up hanging from my chest by his claws. It's very cute by contrast!)
	🚂 2:50pm JETIO BOB: I've thought about the whole thing a lot, and of course I had good intentions, but we all know about the road to hell ... I think good intentions are not sufficient, one also needs COMPETENCE, which I was lacking. Also there was a lack of support resources, I was doing this on my own without advice from somebody with experience).
	🚂 2:50pm JETIO BOB: I'm not going to stop trying to help, but next time, I hope I stop myself and ask: "Do I have a plan? Do I know what the hell I'm doing?" (Or do I just want to see some adorable newborn kittens?)
	🚂 2:51pm Yvang: Togo Metal! I like it!
	🚂 2:51pm chris in the redwoods: Togo has their own Metallica. nice.

	🚂 2:54pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, K8 and I find ourselves in similar sitcheeations, YB, suddenly over our heads and flailing about and wondering why we didn't realize what we were getting into. It happens. Oh no! It's over already? Great show, David! Such an excellent Random Road. Many thanks. Keep faring forward, Voyageurs!
