I like the Loop earplugs; I use the Experience 2 for concerts/live music. They also have some for sleeping. They stay in, and if you get a magnetic lanyard (theirs or aftermarket), they also stay around your neck when you want to take them out for a while.

I used to use Etymotics, but I lost those in Nashville and had to change to something less easy to lose!

I guess that means that they made the flamingo tongues?

Oooh, if they have the same starting pitch/notes, we could form an ocarina band!

These are so cool. Does the sound change after firing, or stay the same? Can you tell what it will sound like while you’re shaping them? How do you get the notes you want?

Sorry to hear it.

Any new medications lately, or changes in medication?

Hoping they find the cause, and that it’s easily treated. Good luck!

Sending positive vibes for both of you!

@steve-miller Apparently Ethan Gontar makes those “Irish” videos with AI. Which is disappointing to me. I’d rather have humans make art/music.

It’s great to have good options! I don’t…

@bernard Looks great, and I can taste it in my imagination! I haven’t had that in decades…

Looking forward to seeing him sing it on tour. I’ll go look for an Irish version, too; thanks for the heads up!

In the same vein, Soldier of Fortune co-written by Mary Gauthier and Eliza Gilkyson.

I like Gilkyson’s a bit better, here it is on FB but I can’t find one on YouTube: FB link

@deweylou Great feature; thank you for representing Christianity in a meaningful way.

I hadn’t heard of the Seven Mountains Mandate before. Sorry to say they appear to be making headway on those seven mountains.

What happened to our America First isolationist stance?

@realplayer I love that soft blue; it’s very elegant.

I wouldn’t put up curtains that block the whole bay window; the geometry of the bay window adds so much to the look of the room. Top down bottom up blinds that fit inside the window frame? They can be room darkening/insulating, or not. Mine are sheer. I love light!

Just got home last night. 9 days went by really quickly! Madrid and Alicante. More later.

I’ve spent many summers watering tomatoes and zucchini and getting 10 tomatoes and 6 zucchini for what feels like $100 in water and effort. I’ll just buy my produce, like Mik.

Interesting. I like canned peaches, packed in juice not syrup.

The same thing happened in the salmon industry, where we used to can, but frozen became the desirable thing. The industry seems to have adapted.

UGH. Small men, pretending to be gods. Terrible.

Can’t believe that snowstorm! It’s 40 and rainy at home in Portland. I’m in Madrid, and it’s sunny and 67. Lucked out!

Apple watch.

Amen to this. We know what we saw.
