    @simsa03 Then I hope the US Navy's three theaters at once plans are realistic and achievable.

    1. Why Must Americans Walk Life's Tightrope Without a Safety Net?
      from Thom Hartmann
      What motivates Republicans to say they’re for the “little guy” when the only policies they'll pursue are to cut taxes for the rich, gut unions, destroy public schools & ship jobs overseas?

    The TV in the laundromat is strangely silent, so I looked up and saw "Programming not authorized".

    So all it takes to rescue us from reruns of Friends and Big Bang Theory is for the owner to not pay their satellite TV subscription? May that happen from now on, forever.

    I think I want a DSLR. Entry level, not too expensive, some decent lenses. Cable that plugs into USB-A (my laptops are too old for USB-C ... upgrading is also on my list). Should be able to pull images from it with Devuan & Ubuntu, as I'm not planning to keep a Windows machine forever.

    Time to do some research.

    At the little park next to the highway. I have been here before, but never noticed how loud the vehicles are. Sometimes the engines are louder, but tire noise seems to be always loud. I'll visit other local parks and compare the noisiness soon.

    Not with noise meters, since I don't have such equipment.

    I am no longer Roman #Catholic, but I have been reading https://www.ncregister.com/ a lot recently. I'm not going that direction, but it is still interesting to see all the happenings.

    The synod on synodality seems to be set to overturn some long held doctrines and practices, with the Pope giving weasely answers to "dubia" from various archbishops and cardinals.

    1. Scientists Question Reports Of Massive Ant Supercolonies In California And Europe
      A team of California scientists made headlines four years ago when it reported finding one of the largest insect colonies in the world - a 600-mile-long subterranean network of Argentine ants stretching from Northern California to the Mexican border.

    I have been recording myself reading books for my grandsons, but I have recently paused due to some hoarseness. I think it’s related to a runny nose and post nasal drip that seems to have lasted for months. It could possibly be related to contact with cats 🐈⬛. There are some really great cats in the yard—and some that are not so great—and many of them come up and touch me with their noses or rub against me.

    Anyway, I intend to resume recording with or without the hoarseness.

    One of my brothers sent this week’s “flashback Friday” a little early. He found some concert footage from 1984; a group we both liked. I saw the group later that year or early the next year, and the lead singer was obviously ill. This video predates that, and you can’t tell he’s sick yet.

    People weren’t porky then, but he was quite a bit heavier than when I saw them playing.

    I don’t ever plan to contact him, but a web search found my old best friend from elementary school. I also found his sister, his mom, his brother, and his sister’s ex-husband (who was very cool 😎; he used to wrestle with us when we were 10-12 years old … he’d been a high school wrestler, so he always won). I did not find his dad, but I assume he is deceased anyway.

    When we were in sixth grade, Scott’s dad lost his job. He became angry and violent with his kids, so I visited a lot less often. When we were about 21, I went to their house for dinner. 🍽️ (shark! It was really good.) The dad spent the whole evening apologizing for pounding his kids and for doing so in front of me.
