An oldy-timey newspaper illustration of a woman wearing a skirt, blouse, and large tam and holding a basket, wandering a landscape with some artfully illustrated rocks. She's holding a snake by its neck.

Shaming your high rollers is certainly a business strategy of some kind.
More than anything in the world.

When I abruptly moved into the parents' house, 5 years ago, I found that even I had gotten more solitude than I wanted or needed from COVID, but it was really kind of great for a couple of months. I felt a bit guilty about enjoying it, but honestly, I did enjoy it. The transition was abrupt: I went from being alone basically all the time, with just a couple of people in my "pod" as some called it. to being with people all day every day. I went from having no one to please or take care of but myself to having two elderly people with dementia (Mom's was still mild) to supervise. There were times that I wished to be back in my fortress of solitude, to be sure, but it was also deeply fulfilling, and it made me realize how lonely I had become.
@thelonius I think Keanu Reeves talks about the sparkle of hermitism and that it is a hollow soft of safety and insidious in its allure
I was a hermit for four years, sometimes going weeks without speaking (except pleasantries when I shopped). It was hard to give up.

This is a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed seeing all the piers and wharves come and go.
Also, oddly not shown even though they appear to fall within camera view: Governor’s Island, Bedloe’s Island, and Staten Island.

a young person takes a photo of the red-and-gold-painted console of a pipe organ in the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix, AZ
"The massive red‑and‑gold console of the Chicago Stadium pipe organ now sits in MIM’s United States / Canada Gallery with six manuals and 800 stop tabs. ... Installed at Chicago Stadium in 1929, the organ was the first of its kind in a sports venue."
I absolutely heard this thing in action at the Barnum & Bailey Circus at Chicago Stadium when I was a kid.
"The instrument, which provided the soundtrack for many opening faceoffs and tips, was the largest built by the Maxcy‑Barton Organ Co. The behemoth cost $250,000 in 1929 dollars, nearly $5 million today."
The Musical Instrument Museum is fully worth the visit if you're ever in Phoenix.

Andrea and I saw DhakaBrahka tonight in Portsmouth. They were amazing as usual.
Amazing.
Amazing.
They showed up at Worldfest in Grass Valley and strolled out onto the stage like they owned the world. Sat down and made a noise that turned to music
I’ve had the privilege to see them a couple of times and they are always so good live.
DakhaBrakha are always a good time. For more thoroughly wild Ukrainian folk, I can strongly recommend Yagódy: https://www.youtube.com/channel...

...Windsor is literally across the river from Detroit and might be the center of Canadian auto manufacture (it was at one time, dunno if it still is), so the location for the startup isn't that weird.
That design tho... It's like a 3D rendering of one of those gestural, cartoonish googie-style magazine illustrations from the period, rather than something designed and built by people with experience making cars.

It looks like a car that cows would drive in a Gary Larson cartoon.
@ardgedee yup, we made a lot of engines and transmissions in Windsor (aka South Detroit). Not sure how it's doing under fuckhead's trade war, but there are a lot of US-made cars that won't be built if Windsor shuts down

A cyclist on a gravel road at dawn with a misty river in the distance
I am visiting Minnesota for a week. Yesterday was the culmination of my year-long bicycle training and my brother and I rode The DAMn - the day across Minnesota gravel bike race. Starting on the South Dakota border at midnight, Aug 1st we had 24 hours to get across the Wisconsin border on a set course consisting of 80% gravel roads through river bottoms and expansive ag fields.
You got to Wowsville! At least in my estimation!
DAMn that's some serious riding, hope it all went smoothly and you're getting some good rest today. I've done many gravel rides, but the longest was just over half of the DAMn, and nothing at all recently. I'm out for a much shorter and easier ride around Mpls today.
It was awesome getting to explore a part of MN that I've not really spent much time in, @wjcstp. The Minnesota River valley is gorgeous and I had the pleasure of being down in there at misty sunrise. And your bicycling community eats sleeps and breathes "Minnesota Nice" really well. Didn't hurt they offer up a cold pint of Spotted Cow at the finish line too.
