That's a good thing in idealistic theory.
I hope it isn't just putting bibs on pigs.

30 years ago, Weird Al recorded the song "Frank's 2000 Inch TV" on the Album Alaplooza. I just saw a commercial for a Samsung 85 inch. Only 1915" to go. It's coming.

Visualize smooth.
I might have mentioned this before and sorry if I did. When it comes to "cold", weather forecasts include the windchill factor, which is a real thing. However, they fail to talk about the humidity as it pertains to how cold it feels. This is a colossal failure in weather forecasting. Just as humidity makes heat that much more unbearable because your sweat doesn't evaporate, it makes the cold feel much colder. This is an IMMEASURABLY LARGER factor than windchill could ever hope to be. I went outdoors Saturday morning when it was between (-)5° and (-)10° F with-26 windchill. The humidity was around 17%. It was MUCH MORE comfortable than the mid 40s F with 69% humidity we had yesterday. Meanwhile, the wind was blowing at about the same speed yesterday as it was Saturday. Whose idea is it to ignore the HUGE factor in favor of the tiny factor?

Damn, this year has started off badly.
Bunch of relatively minor things...including having my car stolen.
Yesterday, my oldest friend died.
Knew him for 55 years.

Praying for you and everyone knew your friend. Sorry to hear about that. Having read the story you posted, I wish I had known him. It must a true honor to have been friends with a man who did what he did for innocent people.
Losing a friend and having your car stolen are hardly minor events. I sincerely hope the rest of the year is better for you.

Fotheringhay is nowhere near Newcastle.
It's just down the road from Oundle, Northamptonshire. I walk past the remains of the castle mound quite regularly.

Ha -- My misreading of the little effin' scribble on me phone: it is Northamptonshire.
PS: On the other hand, Newcastle and Northamptonshire are around 220 miles apart .... which in my world (AMERICA) is effin' close... 200-300 miles is a daily commute for many in Los Angeles Basin.
Effin' 'ell, 220 miles is even kinda close in FRANCE.

PS: And so, if you please, a nod to "Queen Mary Stuart" from me @ your next passin' ny the remains o' the castle mound, 'n tell her some o' us still be thinkin' of 'er and recall the treachery of 'er foul cousin Red Lizzie.
