    The link isn’t good, and then I ran into a paywall when I googled it, so I read this article from the Guardian instead. Very interesting. That water is funneled into a narrow space, which makes it very tall.

    I played it because @wtg mentioned it here. Got them all with one mistake.

    Omg, my first dentist was a room in the back of someone's house. I wasn't very comfortable with it even as a child. It reminds me of the homestead/ funeral home a few houses down from the house where my dad grew up. They've had the business for anyone in my family who's died in Dutchess County. I thought it was a morbid place then and think the same thing now.

    A glut of fresh peaches this summer then? I’m good with that. I only eat them fresh seasonally as it is. I still prefer the eastern peaches.

    Nearly all have some charm, I like the FLW and the crafts bungalow. Though my favourite style is the classic colonial bungalow, built in Malaya and India. I'd add that we are fortunate to now live in a 1960 architect designed house, which is a very pleasant space. On paper, basically four squares with corners touching laid out in a diagonal. Fit/draw another four blocks next to them. Add a second floor and a roof that overhangs the outer triangles formed between square blocks. It must have been fun to design.

    Wow. Now I suppose I have to find some supplement that supports thymus help. [image: the-more-you-know-the-more-you-suffer.gif]

    It's an intense place! I didn't like living there but I was 26 by that time. I think I could have appreciated more if I had been younger or older.

    The sad part is that many would vote for Jr and the others.

    It doesn't take a genius to figure out he has dementia, is a malignant narcissist, and lives in his own fantasy world.

    Mines called Paprika and it was either free or had a one time cost. I’ve had it for years. It converts web based recipes perfectly and downloads a photo. I had a bunch of bookmarked recipes but I’ve since downloaded them into this app.

    @Bernard said: Short, and sweet. There are quite a lot of dissonances in Chopin. Link to video Love it. I’ve thought about picking up that ballade again. It’s been years since I’ve had it in my fingers.

    Anyone who underestimates Russia's military capabilities is an idiot. But I guess we're meant to believe Ukraine is causing a crisis for the continued existence of Russia. Ok, then. The sainted Ukraine which massacred 100,000 Poles in 1943. The absurdity of it all reminds me of Trump's military parade. Maybe Cold War style military parades are just anachronistic and dumb.
