There's been an auction of Bob Ross paintings... hmmm somehow that's wrong, like they should be public property... A fun quirky vid youtu.be/rDs3o1uLEdU?...

This morning's fog. It lifted and there were blue skies most of the day. Unusual for November in the Netherlands.

I received an invite from healthcare-dot-gov but am going to stick with my Dutch health plan ... 😉

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.
