Anything but black, gray, or white. … (They are not color. They are the absence of color.)
Well, spectrographically, black, gray, and white are the equal absence and degrees of equal presence of all colors.
I’m the 60s/70s The Beach Boys music I heard playing on the radio seemed kind of bubbly and fun but ignorable. I listened to a couple of tracks from Pet Sounds today, and yes, there’s interesting stuff in there, especially the vocal harmonies.
I think I must have died in a car accident in a past life. I am the most nervous driver alive--when someone else is driving. Now, put me in my drag racing machine on the West Side Highway, and watch out! (I used to drive my 72 Chevelle with the slant six in the city back in the 80s)

Won’t know if that will make the controls harder to find until trying the real thing, I suppose.
More lack of planning by the administration. This deployment is all for show….another TrumPotemkin village….

I'm not sure if the change has to do with the rise of cheap clothing, fast fashion, or just lack of time.
All the above, I suspect. And more... I wonder if it's still taught in high school? When I was in high school girls and boys could take home-ec class where sewing and cooking were taught. There was shop, which boys and girls could take that taught basic woodworking and metalworking. We even had drafting classes. In elementary school we were taught how to write cursive.
Having experienced these classes growing up it makes me sad to think that some young people don't have the opportunity. I made Christmas stockings for my siblings and a neck tie (70s bright colors) for myself. It was fun and extended school learning beyond the boundaries of solitary studying.
It's been fun, but I'm concerned that this gives Trump another lever to consolidate his base. If the GOP splinters further because of this, it could be a big problem for them. Commence the strong-arm tactics!
Someone must want to sell. I noticed the price was reduced by $250K.
That being said, It's way too austere for me.
There are a few dollars sitting in that living room in those rows of Barcelona-style chairs.
