How nice!

I wanted a green car and so I chose a green one when I bought a Subaru. The problem was I had buyer's remorse big time. I hated that car within a day. The entire cabin vibrated along with the engine. It was viscerally unpleasant. I don't know if it was a bad design or the engine mounts were never right or what. I was so discouraged that I sold it. The car I'm buying will probably be white. If it's not, it will be red. White is the color I want. Red is the only other color I could live with for the year, make, and model I'm buying. It's a subcompact economy car so the interior will be beige fabric.

I wish we had chipmunks in our residential neighbourhoods here. They do live in forested areas here, and a few hours north (where my parents have a very modest cottage) they are everywhere! They are ridiculously cute - way better than squirrels!

I didn't understand this until yesterday but both of these apartments are on the 3rd floor. #2 obviously has an elevator. #1 does too. "Condo Info Unit Floor In Building: 3" This would explain #2's view. I got some good news from my cousin. She finished some paperwork and is getting ready to send other paperwork to the attorney's office. She said, "We're moving along." And said this time period is, "... the last little while." That was a relief.

Sunny and 50f. Everything is melting quickly. Good.

@Axtremus No I retired from that several years ago. I've been a church organist of late although I miss trucking. I'll share some organ vids from time to time. Hope you are well. I'll tell Rach On! I said hi to you.

@Steve-Miller I love the idea of a canvas tv for artwork!!

The saga continues. The NH Executive Council voted to terminate the contract with the out-of-state company that ran the inspection program--the company who sued the state for ending inspections. At this time inspections are suspended until April, bucking the judge's orders. “We have a program that is not authorized under New Hampshire law, but which the state has been ordered to continue by federal court order, given the requirements of the Clean Air Act,” said [NH Attorney General] Formella. There is finger pointing, but efforts to resolve the quandary are on going.

I think we have one or both of them here. But they are a 5 mile or so drive from here compared to maybe a mile to our favored supermarket. We’re weirdos though, because the locals drive everywhere and that feels like a slog to us. I guess I should look at the prices to see if they’re worth the travel. Ms. RP used to drive to the Costco in Bayonne, NJ once a week for bulk items, but she’s even doing that less often these days.

Checking my books you're correct, its Sarah. Of the three books I have on Cornish, perhaps the best is 'The Quintessential Cornish' by Mcmanners & Wales which includes intimate family subjects, for example this [image: 1771109412894-20260214_224832.jpg] Looking forward to others sharing, there's so much art I don't know

I went to happy hour at The Davidson downtown Cincy Wednesday night. Outstanding appetizers, small plates and entrees at rock bottom prices, plus very well-chosen, delicious Italian white, red and prosecco as house pours at $5 a glass. It can be done.

Made this last night, 2/3 of the 1/2 recipe. Only had half a pound of mushrooms so i added green peas. Delicious, and half a cup of rice was more than enough for the two of us. Would easily have fed four as a side dish. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/85389/gourmet-mushroom-risotto/

Speaking of Madonna, she was probably in the best shape of her career as a dancer and stadium performer at the time this video was made. Link to video I saw a live performance she gave in Italy around this time and it was great. Old person note: some of us are old enough to remember Times Square before it was gentrified. : leaving :

I say I have no arguments to defeat any of his points, sadly.

It seems to me to be decorated the way new high end London apartments are decorated. The aspects that stood out the most to me were: the darkness of it (I don't mean gloom; I just mean darkness); New York apartments don't have this aesthetic,... and, the light fixtures looked to me like the ones you see in new high end London apartments.
