    @Mik BTW don't get me wrong, I'm very happy for you that yours was funded. Any studies getting funded in this admin should be celebrated. But there is (was) a vetting process in place. Trump just ignored it, the way he ignores everything and just does what he wants. So I wouldn't call that winnowing.

    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.

    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.

    "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!!

    Not to pile on, but every hotel we stayed in was set up to stay warm. I get it - the climate is brutal and most tourists come for ski season. Giant radiators, hot water towel warmers, heated floors. Very nice except summer temps are a lot higher than they’re used to. The old hotels have windows that open. The new ones don’t. They’re going to have to adapt to climate change at some point.
