As I suspected this went nowhere. John Looney-Thune caslled it "unserious," which means that HWSNBN gave it the imperious thumbs-down.

I don't say nobody got shot. I say Trump's ear didn't get shot.

You are wrong - No one shot his ear. NO ONE. That was a piece of theater to get him elected. NO ONE SHOT HIS EAR!

IIRC, our first computer was a KayPro II. When we moved on, I sold that workhorse to a fellow teacher (this was around 1985). When he retired 18 years later, he was still using it to compute the grades for his classes. Aftre the KayPro we moved up to a Xerox 620, a clunker that ran 8" floppy discs.

One year ago today, Vice President Kamala Harris started her campaign for President of the United States and I’ll never believe that she lost nor will I ever regret voting for her or Hillary Clinton. My conscience is clear. 💙👊

Just finished "Shakespeare for Squirrels," by Christopher Moore. I'm leaning toward "Rivers of London," by Ben Aaronovitch.

A man sits quietly in the filtered light of a veranda, cradling a cat in his arms—an image rendered with restraint and tenderness in this large-scale watercolor by Lars Lerin. At Home exemplifies Lerin’s ability to draw intimacy from stillness. His layered washes and softened contours evoke not only the warmth of light on a wooden interior, but the deeper, emotional texture of solitude shared.



One of Sweden’s most esteemed contemporary artists, Lerin is widely celebrated for his mastery of watercolor and his meditative, often autobiographical depictions of Northern domesticity and landscape. A prolific author and television figure, his reputation is grounded in the quiet integrity of works like this—where silence, affection, and time itself seem to settle visibly onto paper.
