@ShiroKuro said: @AndyD that’s just lovely! I really like hearing how your playing of this has evolved! Thank you. DIY done, a shower and snooze and then... after another 3 attempts, forced myself to not use the dots, and, with minor fumbles, on the 6th attempt got it. Very happy. I reckon I've read it through 120 times in order to be able to play it fully from memory.

Any day now, I expect a social media post announcing the CiC and the SecDef's testosterone levels.

Today's AQI is even higher than yesterday's!

These are my people!

Yes, many times! It's right on the way to the member lounge - small bar and lots of tables in the old restaraunt space. Sometimes we just go straight there for a break during a city walk. We'd be happy to take you up there when you are in town if you haven't visited there with Susan!

Sigh, I am just not a bourbon fan. Now, I am interested in American attempts at Scotch-style whisky, but haven’t tasted any yet.

I wonder if Collins is a no vote given a tough election in a bluish state?

There’s an arrow on the right side of the photo that lets you scroll through all the pics, though they are displayed one at a time. I just tried it on my iPad and it let me see maybe four photos before the login screen comes up. On my Windows PC, I could scroll thru all of them. FB is weird

From my assistant Claude. Stage IV NSCLC is normally defined by distant metastasis. But one specific subtype — M1a — covers cases where cancer has spread within the thoracic cavity but not to distant organs: things like malignant pleural or pericardial effusion, or nodules in the opposite lung. That still counts as Stage IV because the disease has crossed outside the primary tumor site and lymph nodes, but it hasn’t gone systemic.
