Rising ocean temps blamed for massive die-off of marine life. "Researchers examined the year-to-year change of 33,000 [fish] populations in the northern hemisphere.... They found the drop in biomass from chronic heating to be as high as 19.8% in a single year." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

NYC is an incredibly vibrant City; i wouldn't live any place else. I stopped going on vacations 50 years ago bcse I didn't feel comfortable away from the City even for a few days. πΈβ¨οΈπΈ

I love, let's call if formal music of all periods. I love the "American Songbook,"
I like the Beetles, Frank Sinatra, L. Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Barbara Streisand, and many more, including Motown. So, my mind loves music πΆ and I am a Liberal Democrat but an Independent. I belong to no party.
I absolutely love chamber music; any "Classical" music. I use inverted commas as the Classical period was during Mozart's time; and they really should use the correct term e.g. Baroque. Always lovely talking to you dear Regina.. I hope your snow has cleared away for you by now.π€ππ½πΎππ π°πΉ

Bios. are very instructive when they adhere to the truth of the life. Sometimes I don't want to know. Did you know Hawkins was with Epstein?

I'm reading a biography and a book of short stories; I find the latter useful when I'm reading biographies; I read a great deal of bios. I've been listening to Elizabeth Maconchy's Quartets today, I love her quartets. Do you like chamber music?
