Hell @piano-dad has bigger sideburns today.

The utterly delusional fantasy of living on Mars, whether held by the delusional themselves or by con artists, ranks "way up there" (sic) among our culture's delusional fantasies. "Rosetta Stone for Mars"? A bit self-serving. /Understatement

@Mark So that is what happened. huh

May be a positive if the others ignore him.

I should have guessed Lisbon and Nazare. Been to all those spots in the last few years.

@jon-nyc Some call me The Gangster of Love! (And he spells his first name with a ph)

I've decided not to have WIFI period. I don't want the police to be easily and without a warrant be able to see holographic images of me in my home in real time. That's creepy AF. I closed my account. My phone records my location and listens to me 24/7, but at least I can make sure the camera is not pointed at me if I want. Cold comfort but at least it's something.

@RealPlayer said: The Fluxus Artist/Composer Dick Higgins died while performing one of his own pieces whose instructions are: “Scream as loud as you can for as long as you can.” My Fluxus piece was a compact disc hanging in a bird cage. There were no instructions.

@RealPlayer said: Thanks, Ron. I was aware of the push for bigger sound (cross-stringing, bigger soundboards) but never heard of key flare. Is that the “bend” in the key stick like what you see in clavichords? Correct!

Thats hilarious.

It seemed too good to be true. [image: 7B17AA15-2AFA-4A34-9E05-88400BA9249F.jpeg]

Crazy and sad.

Victorian manor houses weren't well insulated either. Apparently people had to congregate in the warm areas.

We studied Roland Barthes extensively in school (anyone who majored in a social sciences). As far as being grumpy, I was famous in my family, to a person, as having been a grumpy child and an exceptionally serious one. I was born this way. What can I say.

Beats the media studies presentations we did in HS. Wow! I tried my best to follow along with what was being said, but I thought the presentation was the best part.

I'm making this one. It looks amazing!

I have three jars of Peruvian pepper paste - Amarillo and two others i can't think of the name of. Delicious. Make the BEST Peruvian chicken
