Snow in Tahoe this early in the year? In this economy!? I haven’t been up here in a while but it sure is nice.

Last day in Sonoma, Brunch.

Finally got to Franklin.

And I think i need to start hosting and serving tea....😁

Nice, thanks! As an PF fan of their earliest music plus a couple post-Meddle albums, my only dislike is the the intro to Astronomy Domine (one of my all-time favorites). The above performance, and also on Umma Gumma, has what I call the "shaky keyboard" start. I still like the original Syd Barrett-era intro. In later years, David Gilmour would do the original intro style when he played this. Nit-picking for sure, but isn't that what the deepest (most OCD 🤣) fans do?

Cocteau Twins with Harold Budd - The Moon And The Melodies. 24-bit 2024 remaster....mmmmmmm

Flamboyant Heterosexual Men for the win! There's dozens of us. DOZENS! Full Disclosure, my rainbow key card got lost in the mail. And when I tried to call it in, they said I wear too much black.

The better half wanted fish and why would I get in the way? Redfish on the half shell. My favorite fish dish in town is this one…. HS

Birria Tacos? OMG they probably don't know what birria means in Spanish

We, the Brits with the USA, did precisely that to Dresden in February 1945. 1000 bombers in 5 waves. Lancasters and Flying Fortresses. https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/apocalypse-dresden-february-1945 The total dead is only an estimate because so many civilians were burnt to ash in the resulting firestorms. We achieved that carnage in a mere 2 days. History does not speak kindly to this, and similar raids on civilian centres in WWII.
