    You can use the app for free. It does limit your ability to host a call but not participate in one. I can send you a zoom invite to test it but we need to coordinate a time (in other words we’d actually do a quick little call you and me). Let me know what your schedule is like today. My availability is pretty good. Feel free to do it in private message if you prefer but here is fine too.

    @kluurs said: 4.79 - not sure who I displeased. You never know when you close a door a little too hard. Rachel always does that as a matter of habit. I’ll bet her rating is relatively bad.

    @Mik BTW don't get me wrong, I'm very happy for you that yours was funded. Any studies getting funded in this admin should be celebrated. But there is (was) a vetting process in place. Trump just ignored it, the way he ignores everything and just does what he wants. So I wouldn't call that winnowing.

    Newport, RI Chateau-sur-Mer Link to video I've noticed many of these Gilded Age mansions in Newport had dark interiors. I like that. I think it's beautiful and elegant. Darkness is a rare commodity when sunlight is so relentless imho.

    Speaking of art, I received some more of my late mother's photographs today. So this was the 4th USPS box of 4 with photographs my cousin found after my father passed. It was joyous! My mother passed in 2014 and so much went missing. But today there was something I wanted a lot. It's a black and white photograph of my mother and me by my first Dr who was a photographer. I had this photograph framed for my mother a long time ago. I would have been maybe 4 and she would have been about 23. Man I need to learn to post pictures.
