This has been a long cold spell for us & the pianos reflect that! Tuned at a high school today. It was 60%+ humidity when I last tuned and 30% today. As you might guess, they were about 35 cents flat of A=440 (100 cents = a half step, or sounding the next note)

Yeah that’s awesome. They’ve been a huge problem for years. I know Crapo’s brother who is pulmonologist. I wonder if he helped lobby him.

Making a batch as we speak. Beautiful. [image: 1770301587539-c368c9d1-2f5b-48f2-b9b8-7a4770d64cb6-626735822_10164058798941341_7387554961611512915_n.jpg]

Reminds me of one of my favorite books. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/85622.Tales_of_a_Female_Nomad

Nice. I liked ice skating. My body wouldn't tolerate it now.

It looks very comfortable. My grandparents' house had wall to wall carpet except the bathrooms and a screened in (and second) Florida room (the first was on the front of the house and was an enclosed office). The screen room had the washer and dryer and led into the fenced backyard. You weren't allowed to wear shoes. The carpet was vacuumed once a day. I wouldn't mind it!

And will they follow it? We shall see…

I'm guessing that the Virginia Supreme Court will soon allow us to vote on an initiative to redistrict Virginia for 2026, overturning a rural district court's injunction.

Our current "together" watch is Gilmore Girls. I never watched it before!

@Mik said in Let's talk miso: Shiroley you jest.

With you Steve. We humans are weird in the things we're attracted to. I think the days started better watching Captain Kangaroo than listening to the news. There's some comfort in that. Best to get out of our houses - and take a walk in the forest - or look at the stars from time-to-time for a counterpoint to the madness that exists outside. Find a quiet place to retreat to from time-to-time.

@Bernard said in NIPSCO: Capitalism at it's finest. :rolleyes: Electricity should be a public utility like it used to be before privatization. My sister-in-law got hit with an astronomical increase in her electricity bill making it $800 and a $600 propane bill to heat here house within the same few days. The electricity bill made no sense but had to be paid and she and her son had to endure a night of sub-zero temmperatures without propane to heat their house. She had to spend $600 on tires at the same time. She was not in a good mood. I didn't ask but I'm assuming she had electric space heaters so their lives were not in danger or not in too much danger. This is happening all over the US. This never happened when I was growing up.
