Lol!

Yeah, that is amazing.

My other favorite Surrealist is Dalí. There's a world-class Dalí museum in St. Petersburg in my county of all places.

Happy Birthday, Joe!

It's funny you should bump this thread because I was just about to.

This has been one of my favorite paintings my entire adult life. It was introduced to me by my girlfriend in college. We were together my first year at UF and one year after.

She grew up in an interesting family. Her mother's side of the family were Episcopalians and had money since the 19th century and her father was Lutheran, a 1st generation Danish immigrant, a JD, and a county judge in the county north of where I live now.

She liked horses. She had done show jumping when she was growing up.

But the painting speaks for itself. It's brilliant.

The Blank Signature by René Magritte https://share.google/tn4xPlmSnF9kzSfIE

My grandparents' record cabinet had a small stack of their albums because the three kids, my mother, aunt, and/or my uncle had bought them and left them at home when they moved. I suspect it was my uncle.

It wasn't my mother. My mother was a Dylan fan and she kept her Dylan albums for the rest of her life.

I listened to a few of the albums. They weren't for me. I can't put my finger on why. I just didn't enjoy them.

I met a group of students in middle school who were huge fans when my other uncle who was a history teacher took me with a group of his students and other student groups to London.

I made friends with a group of students from another school and we spent our time together stating on the flight from NY.

It ended when we got home with him having a talk with me asking me in a kind plaintive way about why I chose not to hang out with his kids and giving me an inevitable talk because I had been caught smoking cigarettes. He didn't find out we were leaving the London hotel at night and going to clubs.

His kids had a list of places they wanted to go and things they wanted to do related to the band. It was everything them. I couldn't relate.

I don't judge people for whatever music they want to listen to but I would never spend my time listening to something if I'd rather be listening to something else.

Now I want to read the novel. I'll put it on my bucket list.

Yep. Crawled onto land.

I enjoyed this. Thanks!

Kind of a non sequitur but ok.

Congratulations, Chas!

I beg to differ.

The law per se legitimately regulates contracts. If you start with the assumption one party is following the law in a contract and the other party isn't you're really not describing justice.

I don't care that a 3 day eviction notice happens to be convenient for landlords.

You could make the notice 0 days in theory.

Thank you.

This reminds me I need to have a imaging and also start physical therapy or doing exercises. My hip on the right side has hurt a long time and the left side started hurting after I fell off the fence.

I sure hope I never need hip replacement. Urg.

Shorter eviction notices return in Tampa Bay https://share.google/xnbwSegiAONvrfMkx

It's 5 days in my town. It's been 5 days since I've lived here. It was 30 days in Hawaii for the 18 years I lived there.

This will accelerate homelessness because as the story notes 3 days can easily include days in 2 months. So can 5 for that matter.

Florida landlord tenant laws suck. There's no good reason for having 5 much less 3 day eviction notices.

It begins with an "e." That's all.

"And that, is kosher." In the vernacular, no? Lol.
