I think the plate referencing women’s jeans sizes might be viewed as being sexist. The others have kind of clever messages, and in a country where obesity is a serious health issue for many people - I don’t really see portion control as a bad thing.

Sharon Shannon is amazing :) Last weekend’s folk festival here had a great round table of accordion players from the different groups. It was fun to see and hear the differences in styles of instruments and music. There were players from an Irish, Cajun, Italian, and Tex-Mex groups.

I bought this gas fireplace a few days ago. There’s a tag inside the cabinet, with the serial number, and signature of the cabinet maker that assembled it, but no date or manufacturer’s name. From its Art Deco style, I’m guessing it’s 29 - 40 years newer than the lamps you saw.

I think Obama’s presidency ignited the (semi) sleeping racists. I think Trump has legitimized those people. Demographically, I’ve heard that the Democratic Party is gaining two members for every one the the Republicans lose. I think we’re at a tipping point, where the white, Supremecists will start to decrease, one death at a time.

I love the idea of resonant strings in these fiddles. If you ever make over to the US, there’s an incredible museum in Vermillion, South Dakota. They have an entire section of Hardanger fiddles, as well as those made by Stadavari, and Guarneri (even a Strad Guitar) I was lost in there for hours!

Haemish1 comments on Jul 16, 2019:

It’s difficult to compare my childhood to my daughter’s. I was one of the original latchkey kids - I was on my own after school from second grade on. My daughter never walked to school until she was in Jr. High, and rarely left the house to roam about without a parent, in a small town in Montana, compared to me riding my bike miles away from home, in suburban Denver. As a student at Vassar now, she navigates the subways in NYC with ease, she’s comfortable on a mountain trail as well as a concert hall or art gallery. (Like the time she said “that’s an original Picasso you just walked past, Dad:/) Kids are smart, creative and resilient - they’ll develop the skills they need, regardless of the handicaps we place on them.
