    @Piano-Dad Yes, I know how to reach you. We do have some folks who signed up and who have either never posted or haven't posted in a long time. I don't want to pester them with updates unless they want to be pestered. You can choose the option to hide your email address from casual observers, but people with superpowers can see that info. Mostly I just wanted to know who wants to be notified if we have a major outage. Additionally, a few folks who signed up early might not have had to provide an email address to create a user ID because registration was open and didn't require authorization by an admin or mod. Eventually we locked the door and deleted all the spammers who had signed up while this was the backup site. I just wanted people to check their profile and see if they have an email addy where they can be reached.

    "Step into timeless elegance" I'd have to change a lot to be happy. Who has 12 chairs and a bed in the living room? Without that furniture it becomes ok. Lots of space to soften and personalise. I'd have to paint the outside, & garages too. Brutal bungalow in beautiful grounds.

    @AndyD Your Dad's pergola reminds me of my aunt, who is a master gardener in Washington State (or was -- she's in her 90s now) and has a beautiful trellis filled with the most gorgeous and fragrant pink roses. I commented on it when I last visited her and she shrugged it off, saying that she can't smell them. She had no use for them since she specialized in growing things to eat. I think I remember that lack of smell can be correlated with dementia. She was exhibiting some signs during that visit. I agree it's challenging to capture the experience in a photo.

    There was an NPR broadcast a few years ago about a cache of old cylinders of off-color humor that were supposed to have been destroyed under the Comstock Act, but somehow survived intact. I’d love to hear them but the culture was so different back then that they might vary from cringey to hard to comprehend.

    I've only had goya champaru once, it was very yummy but it wasn't in Okinawa so I have no idea how authentic it was.

    Make sure you test drive the car before buying it to check CVT noise levels. Drive it with both the windows all the way up and all the way down. When I last drove CVT cars, it was a 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander and a Subaru XV Crosstrek. Both of them were very loud during acceleration. You couldn’t carry on a conversation with your passengers. There was a loud droning sound but it’s not present all the time. It was only upon acceleration. It’s an intrinsic problem with CVTs. The drone is coming from the engine because of the way CVTs work. Don’t know if automakers have solved the droning since I last drove one which was 2013.

    For diehard NYers, especially if they got a great deal on rent, they’ll hobble up and down stairs for several floors, age and infirmity be damned. If they really can’t handle it, they’ll move to an elevator building. We live in a conventional house and moved our bedroom from an upper floor to the main floor after my wife’s second knee surgery. We’re wusses.
