Previously: Maybe we need a ceiling fan, so we may not need to run the A/C so much? Ok, Costco have a "Fandelier" Maybe that will work. OK. Some time later, after much installation. How About Now? No, not like that. Too UFO-y Do they have anything in white? "Yes Dear" : aka More Installation Later Acceptable. Blends in to the ceiling more. remote / App / Hey Google / Google Home automation for Light On/Off Brightness, Fan On/Off/Speed - it is quieter per more CFM. Color Temp as well. So a Win, Finally. Now to repeat for the other bedrooms, maybe.

enjoy.

Robert Fripp @ 80, the series (not just the intro, there's already a couple episodes out) I won't say one of my biggest influences, but I am deeply fascinated with everything he thinks, says, and does -- I want to be influenced by him, but that's a rather high bar -- so will definitely be watching this series with interest.

For the drone of the leaf blower I would think most modern ANC headphones would be able to kill most of the noise but nothing is going to neutralize all of it. Best bet is likely to be to use ANC plus some ambient music to really drive it into the background. Best guess, but one that I haven't tried personally, would be the latest airpods + comply tips to hopefully gain a little passive NR.

The Plot to Eliminate Gaza https://web.archive.org/web/20260529135655/https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/the-board-of-peaces-plot-to-eliminate-gaza.html https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/the-board-of-peaces-plot-to-eliminate-gaza.html "The Board’s charter does not mention the word Gaza once. The stated mission comes with a much broader ambition: to promote stability, restore governance, and secure peace in areas affected or threatened by conflict — anywhere. Gaza seems to be merely the Board’s first deployment. Under its own logic, the three active military fronts currently disrupting the Middle East — Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran — are theaters of war that should be resolved by the Board, if only they were not being waged by two Board members, the U.S. and Israel."
