The Beltrami flute (1823) was the first indigenous wooden flute of its kind collected in the US. The melody was the first to come out of this replica made
by Jon Norris Music and Arts.

A nice melody on a Native American Style Flute with pictures of a boathouse on a Wisconsin lake.

A spooky AI movie of a cabin in the woods of central Wisconsin accompanied by a Native American Style Flute played in a natural minor scale.

This is another AI movie done with Gemini by Veo. The cowboy tune is played on a Native American Style Flute. The scenes are in Lusk, Wyoming.

I’m posting a new version of β€œSafari” again with Native American Style Flute using Google’s new animation AI. The photos were originally stills, made into 9 second movies, spliced together in iMovie and a flute track added. Much improved!

Republicans Are Cutting Medicare. Not Only Medicaid, Medicare. Passage of the Big Beautiful Bill will force mandatory sequestration that will mean half a trillion dollars in Medicare cuts.

Hakeem Jeffries is still speaking but eventually Republicans are going to pass their megabill.
And it hasn't been discussed much, but that is going to force $500 billion in cuts to Medicare. Not just Medicaid. Medicare.
Here's why:

I may be wrong but Scrubs always looked to me like a version of the hospital novel, House of God by Samuel Shem.

Yes, good post. If you live in Colorado see today’s (June 26) NYTimes story on Breckenridge-Dillon, Moab Ut. and elsewhere in the Mountain West.

Lee is my senator. If you want public lands please call your own senator. And call the Parliamentarian to appreciate her procedural courage:

Elizabeth MacDonough

Paying people, no matter what side of the political spectrum, to have children is wrong.

It’s worse. The Nazi party nationalized German industry without taking over the day-by-day management, with full cooperation. Except for prison labor, of course.

The rule’s name lends itself to a number of bird-related puns….There is the β€œByrd bath,” when… Ms. MacDonough scrubs and analyzes [the provisions] to make a judgment. Anything that does not survive the scrutiny is known as a β€œByrd dropping,” and is removed from the legislation before it can advance.

A bit on Elizabeth MacDonough from NYTimes: β€œAs [the Senate] moves forward with the budget reconciliation process, it now falls to Ms. MacDonough to enact Mr. Byrd’s rule.…

The first female Senate Parliamentarian struck down the Lee amendment on public land sales. Tell her she’s doing a great, nonpartisan job:

Give her office a call and tell her she’s being noticed for a great job. I did!

True. But the amendment would then have to come up for a vote and not even Lee wants to be voted against by any of his peers on procedural grounds. That’s why he withdrew the original wording. He’ll be back.

Remember her name: Elizabeth MacDonough, the first woman to serve as Senate Parliamentarian. She’s been upholding Senate rules this whole session. She can’t respond to political issues but she can rule on what’s procedurally correct. Your Senator should know she’s doing a great job.
