I don't think you probably displeased anyone. Some people just don't want to give top scores.

@Daniel thank you. It’s really frustrating. Also, would you mind editing your post so that it doesn’t quote me like that? I might want to go back and delete this in the future, since it’s kind of personal. Thank you in advance!

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.

I was beginning to wonder what a girl had to do to get arrested.

What could possibly go wrong?

Well, that's ironic. I was taught to use vinegar and newspapers, iirc. I think the paper was meant to be abrasive. I still use vinegar. I use it with paper towels.

@Bernard that sounds like a great approach!!

Great!

"AI" and the song is still something she might well have done. Let this be a lesson to us all: "Based on a search of Madonna's official discography and media channels, there is no evidence that "What Did You Expect?" is an official song released by her. It is highly likely that this video is an unofficial upload, fan-made creation, or a composition generated by artificial intelligence, rather than an authorized track from her music catalog." AI isn't sure? That's a new one. Yeah, it's AI. My error.

@jon-nyc said: This year they canceled days 2 and 3 due to a Nor’easter. We usually ride rain or shine, and that’s the ‘official’ stance, but on Saturday and Sunday we had sustained 25mph winds with gusts to 45mph so they canceled two days for safety. Yikes! I’m glad they canceled!!
