@Daniel. My family history is probably loaded with things I do not want to know. There is a museum at Murray State in Kentucky known as the Wrather museum. Was told a professor named Wrather left the money for the museum. Have never found the time to go. Have been less than 40 miles away a number of times. I was told very little family history. hmmm....

Still bad air quality today (157 on the apple weather app) - entering day 2 of the 4 day Lollapalloza music fest downtown. Gridlock in our neighborhood again certain times of the day and night. At least it's cooler which should help the paramedics!

@Big_Al said in RIP Tom Lehrer: it's disturbing how timeless some of the songs are I know, right? Just listen to the song "National Brotherhood Week": "Step up and take the hand of someone you can't stand You can tolerate 'em if you try."

I was was watching lighting exploding over the Divide tonight from my back yard. Huge black hammerhead clouds shooting out bolts in the distance. For once I just enjoyed watching without taking photos. Jodi there will definitely be fires from all these electrical storms we've been having. So much more rain than usual for this time of year! But not enough to prevent the fires.

Fab house, lovely. I know it's got a beach but an indoor pool would be nice to have.

I loved his choice for the Musical Coda...

Yea, the article talks about other disciplines being impacted, too. And businesses. I think it's the suddenness of the changes and the broad impacts that are the takeaways for me. edit: But the suddenness is probably more in my head. Like the article points out, some of these trends have been observed for some time.

@Steve-Miller The hotel sounds wonderful!! @Steve-Miller said in Eating my way through Central Europe: This miniature kitchen Cool, I'll show him! P.S. Quiet air conditioning is the best. Noisy hotel ACs are the bane of my existence!!!!

@Daniel. I’m not seeing any credible confirmation that Osbourne went to Switzerland. What is your source? I could only find speculation online.

And in other news, the UK has become a police state. Link to video

I'd seen that number and have found that pretty easy to hit in the city. Not sure when the weather gets more challenging!
