Still tuning! Since most of my clients live in the suburbs - I drive...

Happy birthday, Mik!

Music is healing. And I become more and more aware of all the cognitive tasks involved in intensive practicing. No guarantees though. Musicians do still experience dementia.

Yes, moving. Thanks, people. New skit about my alma mater. Link to video He/ they continue to find ways to fulfill their destructive mission.

"He doesn't really mean that." Is what many said before they voted for him. What preparations for that are being done? I have no faith in the DNC.

You'd need an architect to divide it up into rooms, keeping the original features. As for the graveyard, you couldn't garden the area. I always think it likely that at some time somebody is likely to have been buried on the land we own, certainly owners died in both our current and previous houses. Doesn't bother me. There's nobody in a graveyard, only you and your memories.

That's what I thought, but wasn't Air Force One the plane that WAS properly outfitted against attacks?

@wtg thanks for this. My most recent hotel stay was actually on a university campus, so I used the campus wi fi service (which is called eduroam and should be very secure). But I have a lot of conference travel coming up this fall and next spring, and most of those are massive hotel/convention center places.

RIP Jackie. At a campground last week we got to watch an eagle fishing in the lake. He had a mate, whom we could see with binoculars, but he did all of the fishing. Magnificent bird, elegant and majestic, who never failed to capture the fish he dove in to catch. A real pleasure to view.

Regarding washing machines, Miele get my confident vote. My good friend has had his for over 20 years, recommended the brand and we've had ours for about 15 years, and it moved house with us. This last year the machine has been washing for two households... it ran 6 washes today!

Most amazing beat boxer you’ve ever heard. https://x.com/jayroo69/status/2086192986929373462?s=20

Air travel continues becoming even more dismal.
