I've tried to take him seriously, but he always seems like a smug jerk. Wonder what his kids think.

Joy Spring YouTube video by Clifford Brown - Topic

It got up to 17 centigrade in T'ranna today!

It'll never last, I know, but here's a spring tune anyway.
A lot of jazz songs with spring themes are melancholy, but this always makes me feel young & hip (which is not easy).

Most people wrongly omit one or the other. (Yes, I am a cranky pedant.)

Forget-me-nots, May 2025 📷by me

They are biannual, so I may not get this many in 2026. (A few renegades always pop up in off-years, though.)

Mrs. Zeffler left her car—a black Mustang convertible—idling on the street outside and paced back and forth near the window, keeping an eye on it, while Bruno wrapped the minis in brown paper. She refused coffee, but while she was waiting, she told Jane she was going to hang them in her teenage daughter’s room, which she was completely redecorating with new furniture from Karelia and a really up-to-date “groovy” theme. Jane agreed, as Mrs. Zeffler seemed to expect, that this was not only a good but an original idea. As she helped her carry the packages out to the car, she wondered if the stiff little cap-sleeved dress Mrs. Zeffler had on was a genuine Courrèges or just a copy. Probably real, she decided, but it was hard to be sure.

[Book plug alert!] Here’s a moment from my novel, Back Flip, set in 1967 Toronto, in which Jane, a discontented gallerina, takes note of a covetable dress worn by a wealthy client.

Black & white photos of models in Courrèges clothing, c. 1965. A coat, a short-sleeved dress and a pant with a sleeveless top are shown, as well as his trademark calf-high white boots with flat heels.

André Courrèges #BOTD 1923 His clothes epitomized (for good or ill) the mod, pre-flower-power '60s, and a kind of space-age optimism about the future of clothes and (maybe) women’s lives. As a bonus, simplified versions were easily copied, by both the rag trade & patterns for home-sewers like me.

Thanks; this sounds excellent. (And miraculously, my library has a *circulating* copy. Usually everything even slightly obscure is reference only.)

Seatbelts and child seats in cars, too! I'm old enough to remember when they weren't required.

Noted & added to list! Thanks. Kanopy has a lot of good things (though they're sometimes hard to stumble upon without a tip). Watched the very good Marcella Hazan doc there last week.

Cartoon by Rube Goldberg: what to do if you run out of gas. A car with a driver, a monkey in the engine and a tank of ducks on the roof.

Worried about gas prices going up?
Rube Goldberg has you covered.

Photo taken through an arched corridor leading to an inner courtyard. A lantern hangs from a pointed arch in the passageway and a sliver of red car that's parked there is visible. Within the courtyard there's a colonnade with two ornate, contorted caryatids supporting a terrace with green foliage and a balustrade.

An interior courtyard, Genoa.
(Just a glimpse: the sign says "Proprietà Privata.")

Agree. I've even stopped (reluctantly, in many cases) ❤️-ing a lot of photo/art posts with no alt. (Not that I assume anyone cares what I like, but it passive-aggressively dissipates some of my annoyance.)
