My grandparents' record cabinet had a small stack of their albums because the three kids, my mother, aunt, and/or my uncle had bought them and left them at home when they moved. I suspect it was my uncle. It wasn't my mother. My mother was a Dylan fan and she kept her Dylan albums for the rest of her life. I listened to a few of the albums. They weren't for me. I can't put my finger on why. I just didn't enjoy them. I met a group of students in middle school who were huge fans when my other uncle who was a history teacher took me with a group of his students and other student groups to London. I made friends with a group of students from another school and we spent our time together stating on the flight from NY. It ended when we got home with him having a talk with me asking me in a kind plaintive way about why I chose not to hang out with his kids and giving me an inevitable talk because I had been caught smoking cigarettes. He didn't find out we were leaving the London hotel at night and going to clubs. His kids had a list of places they wanted to go and things they wanted to do related to the band. It was everything them. I couldn't relate. I don't judge people for whatever music they want to listen to but I would never spend my time listening to something if I'd rather be listening to something else.

@jon-nyc said: Maybe you could try that? You already have Dewey and Mik within a two hour drive and me and Ax who often get on airplanes for piano parties… That would be amazing! Although I’m not sure I can throw a good enough party to merit people traveling for it! (It might trigger a whole new kind of stage fright!

I love the various types of paprika - Hungarian, sweet, hot, Spanish, smoked.... great stuff.

@ShiroKuro Thank you

@DougG Great song! (The beer not so much)

It's one way of drawing a line of some sort after Hamas murdered 3 Brits and 11 Americans along with another 1300. We can't punish everyone who participated, but the leaders of such a massacre ought not escape. What now? I can't imagine anything good happening soon.

I beg to differ. The law per se legitimately regulates contracts. If you start with the assumption one party is following the law in a contract and the other party isn't you're really not describing justice. I don't care that a 3 day eviction notice happens to be convenient for landlords. You could make the notice 0 days in theory.

@Daniel said: China and Iran are allies. I don't see the two as having much in common, other than that they both see the USA as some sort of opponent.

A exec with a local ski resort said of the Hispanic labor at the resort, "They are easily trained, like good German Shepards." Don't think he is still with the resort.

Thank you. This reminds me I need to have a imaging and also start physical therapy or doing exercises. My hip on the right side has hurt a long time and the left side started hurting after I fell off the fence. I sure hope I never need hip replacement. Urg.

He seems pretty consistent to me. Calls out nonsense when he sees it. I think he's likely more in tune with the population than Dem leadership.

"And that, is kosher." In the vernacular, no? Lol.

She's complaining about money. Wow. Link to video

@wtg And from what I've read, it cannot be deleted. Basically, an untrustworthy company has stolen 4GB of storage from those people's devices. If Google was honest they would have an opt-in option. But they're not honest, and that's a problem.
