I just wanted to share this moving tribute from @pbsnews.org for Memorial Day.

This is nuts. And very dangerous.

Here’s a shot I took about 11 years ago when I was out riding my motorcycle somewhere up near Ojai, California I think.

Bought the Deluxe edition last year to indulge myself. Six CDs. All the New York sessions and the five final mixes from Minnesota. All remastered to normal speed. A delight for songwriters & Dylanologists. 😎 Downloading to laptop cuz not on iTunes. #BobDylan #BOTT

What was true was that NASA had a contract with Nye Lubricants, which made exotic synthetic oils. A hundred and fifty years prior, William Nye was a prominent New Bedford merchant and whaler. Nye Lubricants was descended from that industry.

For years, there was a bit of science communication apocrypha that held that the space shuttle used sperm whale oil for some lubricant applications because of how it behaved in the vacuum of space. This was... not true.

I thought we needed to indulge ourselves in a little of the spectacular this week. I share a fabulous recipe on @contrariannews.org and talk about the difference between sublime flamboyance and vulgar excess. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

The national average gas price is expected to be about $4.48 a gallon this Memorial Day, which would be 42% above the price a year ago and the second-highest on record.

Wow… four years since I debuted the demo of this tune. It’s been on all the streaming services for at least a couple of years. I haven’t seen a cent from it. Anyway, If you get your girlfriend or wife (or both) to listen to it you may get lucky, since it’s so romantic. 🤓 youtu.be/wi0jhpe-K4c?...

Good morning! #OceanDevotion is back! Here are your 5 minutes of peace & calm.

Pay attention

It’s Wednesday; blah, blah, blah. Anyway, here’s an old English drinking song called A Mother’s Lament. 😎🍺 #Cream #ShamelessSelfPromotion

Nowadays I see far more propagandists than journalists.

The gals at the local WM pharmacy streamed my music after I told them the other day I’m a recording “artiste”. Dropped by yesterday and the feedback I got was “pretty mellow stuff” and some of the songs “brought tears”. 🤩🤩🤩 youtu.be/VlIMbusFncg?...

Start your day with a moment of zen. A video from a friend in Western Australia.

I spent my youth in classical music, in bands, orchestras, ensembles, and choruses. While most kids had weekends off, I had hours of rehearsals & performances to attend. And I loved it! 🎵 I graduated from the Eastman School of Music with a BM in vocal performance. 🦋🏃🏻‍♀️ (🎵 "Clair de Lune" - Debussy🎵)

A red cardinal on the Treasure Tree! 😍❤️ I was taking a photo of this tree when suddenly a male cardinal flew into the picture. It looks so pretty with the red bells and other decorations on the tree! 🥰 #photography #Nature #Birds #Tree #Bench #OnMyWalk #Cardinal #EastCoastKin #WestCoastKin #Toronto

If they can vote to give Trump a billion for his ball room, they can vote to fund Social Security.

Wow! There’s an awful lot of 🟥 in this chart, lol! 😂

I thought you guys might enjoy seeing a real Viking city, Tallinn, Estonia.

Billionaires could be the superheroes of the world, but they choose to be the supervillains instead.

Something a little different from my kayaking trip today to Long Point Light Station. I paused to enjoy the incredible assortment of rocks. I always think with awe of the massive Laurentide Ice Sheet, which picked them up over vast distances and left them behind as it melted. #OceanDevotion
