Just so you know - there are seven stages of dementia - see this link www.verywellmind.com/the-7-stages...

It has been a while - yesterday the psycho evaluation Krewe got together for cold beers - we worked on this www.stonedpony.org/chapter-thre...

Art of the Day - a plug for a good book - my sister took it and is Klingon to it. #art, #artbooks, #painting, #artoftheday

A bit of medical information - Grey hands can indicate a condition called acrocyanosis, where blood vessels constrict, reducing blood flow and causing discoloration. It may also be a sign of peripheral cyanosis, which occurs due to low oxygen levels in the blood, seen with blood hand break outs

Spanky also know as Mr Piggy - says he will bring a law suit against anyone who talks about his health. Therefore if 1 million Americans talk about his health and he bring law suits against them - his lawyer fees at $500 per hour. To file 5 hours costs $2,500,000,000. Something to think about.💲

And in the silly dumb era of crazy 🐂💩 the government is going back to New Times Roman font from one that was easier to read - not that they read much. Of note - in my blogs I use the Lexand font as it is proven to help dyslexics and those with ADHD read the text better. evidence based science

Yesterday - I found out I am on a block list for posting my art of the day and putting “oil on” hash tags. So people can mute posts like mine. Well this is censorship in a way. Your thoughts?

Art of the day - the 1920’s produced some interesting art. This is an example. #art, #oilpainting, #oiloncanvas 🖌️🎨🖼️

Art of the Day - this post is about the art of color and framing. This is important in art and marketing. Below is a type of Berkin bag by Hermes. Notice how it is displayed. The background is a neutral color that highlights the color of the handbag. The light hits the bag highlighting it.

What you will get when you follow me. Art, Science, random posts on cool things and history. Every now and then a blog post from the stonedpony.org

Art of the Day - a long time ago I to took a course in metal working. During the course, I learned about Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera. They were metal artists in Italy. This is a 1938 Alfa Romeo 8c 2900 body by Touring #art, #artoftheday, #metalwork, #classic-auto

This is a very good read for the situations we find ourselves in currently.

Art of the day - the art of marketing and display. In Paris, France, they have mastered the art of display to market their goods in the high end products. #artfotheday, #sales, #marketing, #luxury, #leather

Mean while in Chicago….

Sleepy time Don today - oh well

Art of the Day - detail of trim in a 1910 house. This level of detail is the art of fine wood working. This is Not seen in modern houses today. Sadly, this detail work is rarely done now. This house is now in the historical register. #art, #woodworking, #craftnanship, #artoftheday

among other things: TN-07, the Congressional district that voted today, is the result of gerrymandering - Nashville, which used to have its own congressman, was split into thirds, and TN07 contains one of the thirds. The rest of it is rural.

Some background! I wrote about Tennessee in 2023, asking whether it's still a democracy www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Art of the Day - Flaming June painted by Sir Frederic Leighton, produced in 1895. Painted with oil paints on a 47-by-47-inch (1,200 mm × 1,200 mm) square canvas, it depicts a sleeping woman in a sensuous position. It is Leighton's most famous work. It was lost then found but sold for $140.

Here is a map of Tennessee 7th congressional district. The blur is the city of Nashville. The red counties are farm/rural counties way out from Nashville. The last race was 59% (R) and 39% (D) ‘roughly’. Now all those farmers are suffering - it will be interesting to see if this stays red.

What to do on a rainy night when you wake up at 2:00AM - catch up on the news - read a boring book and hope you fall asleep.

Just a warning - there is a case about internet users who use copyrighted music going to the Supreme Court. Remember this - the justices are millionaires porting billionaires

When I was growing up, my parents would read the obituaries in the paper every morning. Now as I get older, I find out about my friends from schools who are no longer with us. Well I “keep on keeping on”. Thank you Bob Dylan - Tangled up in Blue. I have been lucky to hear him once.

Yesterday was fruit cake making and baking day. Now in the freezer.

Yes - it is that time of the year. Cheese cake in progress at half way mark. 😋

I was in class at school on November 22, 1963. I had just lost my grand mother Connie a week before and was still in shock from that sadness. At first, I did not realize the importance of the unfolding news. Later, a day or so later, I watch on TV as Oswald was shot.

The art of science - these books are old now. However, they are very good my daughter, son and myself have read and used them. Yes, there are two versions of Roitt’s Essential Immunology. 🧪 #science, #immunology, #thecell, #pathology ❤️

That time of the year - baking fruit cake - we use a very old recipe from my great grand mother - my sister and I keep the tradition from the 1920’s or before where we get together and spend a day baking the fruit cakes. This year my wife will be joining us and then we nail them out to family.

Art of the Day - the Pre-Raphaelites, was a group of English painters. Look this art movement up. #art. #oilpainting, #pre-raphaelites
