Isn't it part of the American dream to amass millions of dollars and then be able to retire? Perhaps she sees more power and joy being part of entertainment media??

Whatever happened to...It doesn't take that long to scoop up all the information wanted and leave "back doors" in place to further manipulate in the future...

Not shocked at allFlux - Even though you used the rosin core solder, it is very helpful to clean the wires and soldering iron tip first so that the solder draws onto the surface instead of beading up. My dad used to tell me to "tin the wires first" - then a quick touch with the iron when twisted together and perhaps a bit more solder makes for a quick and neat joint.
(I would combinations of paste and liquid acid flux when working on brass instruments depending on the situation)

The Chicago kidnappings have begun"Small business owners in some of Chicago’s predominantly Latino neighborhoods say business hasn’t bounced back since Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino and his team of agents left Chicago last week."

Anyone following the latest flap?Once again, Republicans seem to only consider laws binding if they help themselves or can be weaponized against those they want to hurt.

solar flares and headaches??The Chicago area recently had plenty of northern lights sightings, even in the city! I've been charting migraines as part of my treatment and noticed an uptick in frequency this last week. Diving down the interwebs rabbit holes, I came across a supposed link between increased solar activity and physical responses from some people - migraines being mentioned many times.
A little more whack-a-doodle than I normally entertain, but looking back, I could draw a connection to higher need for medication and heightened solar flare activity. Not 100% correlation, so I'm reserving belief at this time...
Anyone else run across this?

Virtual stagingWell, except for the floor and curtains, it appears to represent things that could be done with actual staging??

US missing people with 'certain talents' -
Are you singing enough?I know a few that have joined the SoundsGood choirs. It appears to be just in the Chicago area. All levels welcome and they even have a group for memory-care singers. It is getting lots of seniors to sing again!

The Chicago kidnappings have begun"U.S. Border Patrol boss Greg Bovino, fellow agents to soon leave Chicago but could be back four-fold in March
Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin insists “we aren’t leaving Chicago,” but the feds’ immigration campaign is expected to begin winding down. However, one DHS source said 1,000 agents could return in the spring, up from 250 now." -
Are you singing enough?I really enjoy singing with choirs - for me, rehearsing is the best part and the concerts are the "have to" part of joining.

Decibel Chart -
Decibel ChartTechs usually are more concerned with how loud it can get while tuning. Peaks above 95dB are pretty common. Best advice is to learn to tune using ear protection!
I should really measure how loud some of the HVAC systems sound! Some are loud enough to make tuning difficult. -
Two weeks ago...We got maybe 3" downtown.. Maybe a bit more to come. I think the wind veered a bit east and Indiana got most of the snow.

Two weeks ago...Chicago - "Dangerous to impossible travel conditions due to intense lake effect snow expected. Snow rates in excess of 3 inches per hour, localized total snow accumulations of 12-18 inches and northerly wind gusts in excess of 30 mph are expected."
3 tunings scheduled tomorrow - let's see if I make any of them!

Will you be able to get a COVID vaccine?Got the Novavax - protein based vaccine - after my doc recommended getting one of the Covid vaxes for me this year. I've had both of the mnra ones in the past and thought I'd try this newer one.

I knew CVS had these but was pleased to find out that Costco also had it. I went looking for it after reading that there tended to be much less side effects felt. For me, that was true! Not even a sore arm...

Parallel parking championship -
Parallel parking championshipLiving and tuning in the city has vastly improved my parallel parking skills. Sometimes I even surprise myself fitting in or out of a tight squeeze!
When I bought my 2020 Kia Niro, one of the things I looked for was a shorter car that could still fit tall people in the back seat comfortably.
