I think his he has dementia, and forms his decision making process on what he's told and what he wants to believe. I know he's the center of a cult of personality, but man, even the left doesn't get this screwed over after a Democratic presidential win.

I guess that means that they made the flamingo tongues?

@dolmansaxlil said: I’m grateful we don’t have to worry about the financial ramifications of a serious medical issue on top of everything else. This is so important! I don’t know anything about seizures or their treatment, but I would imagine there many more options than in generations past, so that should be helpful as well. Best wishes that it is!!

OK, I took a dry leaf out of the jar and just bit a piece off directly, and chewed it a little. Definitely a camphor flavor. And bitter. FWIW, it is from Penzey’s, and they claim it is of high quality.

So, I guessed 3/3 for acrylic vs. watercolor (wasn't hard) and guessed 1/3 prices. Thanks for the guessing game, Andy.

That’s what happened when I tried planting grocery store green pepper seeds The plants I got were very small with only one or two tiny peppers.

I apologize for my tangent. The topic is obviously the cabinet. I think there's "nobody home" in this government. The knowledgeable, capable people are in the Pentagon and intelligence. They have been ignored. Both houses of Congress are corrupt and useless. This isn't the Supreme Court's finest hour, either. I'd like to think that this administration is aberrant and there will be a return to some kind of normalcy but I don't know.

I heard about the tornadoes and monster hailstones on the morning news today. The band of storms have reached us today but so far just occasional heavy rain and some thunder, without the severity your area has experienced. I hope our luck holds. Big Al

Remember that I'm thinking about the back side of the pedal - which makes a lever idea possible because we want to push UP the back side to lift the dampers. That way it will be pushing between the floor (support) and the underside of the back of the pedal. Getting the mechanical linkage to wrap around behind could be an interesting challenge, which is why I like the idea of a solenoid (like in a player piano system) connected to a pedal or knee switch to activate. It would be "all or nothing" which is simpler than a servo that would allow for half pedal and more sensitive movement. Again, because it is a grand piano, there is access to the back of the pedal to apply lift between that and the floor.
