Started watching TOS in reruns in the late 70s and 80s.
I was a very lonely teenager in a blue collar, uneducated family when TNG premiered. I watched every episode of the first season alone in the dark on an old B&W tv as they were watching other stuff on the good TV.

TNG opened my eyes to a world of possibility, the diversity and wonder of life, leadership, and aspiring to something bigger than my small world.

There was plenty of criticism about the Wesley Crusher character in those early years, but as smart nerdy boy, I was grateful to see his character and how he was treated by the Geordi, Data and others. Gave me hope

Decades later, introducing my kids to TNG has been one of my greatest pleasures in life. They know and love the characters as I do.

A tale as old as time

In my part of Virginia, they have established noise laws. Seem pretty fair

ordinance defines daytime as 7 AM–10 PM on weekdays and 9 AM–10 PM on weekends and holidays, and nighttime as any time outside of daytime.

The ordinance limits noise levels to 60 decibels during the day and 55 decibels at night in residential areas.

The law has a surprising amount of detail regarding things like vehicle noise, construction, etc.

Fun fact: Macromedia didn’t create Flash. They bought out another company
