"Australia participates in Eurovision – in proud defiance of the most fundamental laws of continental geography – simply because it wants to so badly. Australians are Eurovision superfans, and the Aussie prog-metal band Voyager, headed by Daniel Estrin (no, not that Daniel Estrin) has been vying to represent their country since Australia first entered the competition in 2015. This year they got their wish with this high-energy, hooky-as-hell banger that both mocks and celebrates '80s new wave. (If the arch-but-pure timbre of Estrin's vocals didn't tip you off to that, that keytar should.) Australia's contract to participate in Eurovision expires this year, so there's potentially a lot riding on how well this song does. But the audience in the arena on Saturday is absolutely gonna eat it up, so I'm not worried; The Fixx is in." https://www.npr.org/2023/05/11/1175447895/where-the-stage-is-littered-with-glitter-the-top-10-acts-of-eurovision-2023 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_(Australian_band) You might like this arrangement or this one (for @Knuckledragger )

" A yurt is a portable, round tent traditionally used by nomadic people in Central Asia. It is made with a wooden frame and covered with felt or canvas. A teepee is a conical tent traditionally used by Native American tribes on the Great Plains. It is made with wooden poles and covered with animal hides or canvas. A wigwam is a domed or cone-shaped structure traditionally used by Native American tribes in the northeastern part of North America. It is made with a framework of wooden poles covered with bark or woven mats. A tent is a portable shelter made of fabric or other materials supported by poles and ropes. It can come in a variety of shapes and sizes and can be used for camping, outdoor events, and emergency situations. The main differences between these structures are their shape, materials used for construction, and cultural origins. Yurts and teepees are both round, while wigwams are typically domed or cone-shaped. Yurts are made with a wooden frame and covered with felt or canvas, while teepees and wigwams are typically made with wooden poles and covered with animal hides, bark, or woven mats. Tents, on the other hand, can be made with a variety of materials and come in various shapes and sizes." Next you'll be saying all saw blades and drill bits are the same!

Had a picnic, in Belvedere Park with some of Joannes ex colleagues, one of whom now works in finance for the City of Belvedere, which isn't as relaxing as you might imagine, when questions on the state of the accounts from local residents include those from the ex Head of The World Bank. Following that, we had a leisurely stroll Around Belvedere , where we took in views of. Angel Island. The City (SF) shrouded in Fog. Likewise, The Golden Gate Bridge Fog rolling over the hills into Sausalito . And of course, Mt. Tam. A very pleasant afternoon.
