    That seems consistent with the common legal strategy of sueing anyone involved in any way in the hopes that someone will pay. Big Al

    If you have a Gmail account, I recommend uploading your video to YouTube. You can create a “channel” with a different name from your Google/Gmail username (so random strangers won’t figure out your Gmail address just from your YouTube channel name). You can also make your videos “unlisted” (so random strangers cannot find your video via search or via Google’s recommendation algorithm). Among all the “free” video hosting sites, YouTube is by far the most open and highest performing. E.g.: Link to video

    Saw friends that live in Pueblo last week. They said it gets very hot there. Heat and rats seem to be present wherever the plague is found.

    A fascinating oeuvre. I wonder how much the twin lens reflex (Rollieflex) she apparently used contributed to her art. It lends a definite different perspective. It does cause one to wonder how many unrecognized artists pass through without acknowledgement? Big Al

    I think it's a new(er) thing. Not surprised; their subscriber base keeps dwindling.

    I’m still too close to years of driving $100 beaters around to get too uppity and proud of a car. Although I took a long look at one of the retro T-Birds today.

    @Steve-Miller said in Who’s in the heat wave ?: Amazon sells battery packs that will not only charge your phones but will also jump start your car. From what I can tell you can charge phones dozens of times before you have to recharge the battery pack. I keep one in each car. @Lisa recommended this one. The price goes down to $75 or 80 pretty routinely. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079FSPRXM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8

    Ooh that is good advice! Next up, how to pick a good avocado? We never really bought them ,but now Mr SK has decided he wants to eat them (we like to just dip them in soy sauce with wasabi, like a California roll without all of the other stuff). The last one we got was pretty good but maybe too many brown spots...

    Great pictures, much manipulated. Not sure what to make of pictures that have been worked over. Art created with photos plus a lot of fiddling should be in another category IMO. Then again, who is listening to me?
