After Christmas, we rename them “winter lights.”

Since we like to spend winter sunsets out on the deck with a glass of wine (when temps allow), we leave them up until spring. Then, sometimes, we rename them “spring lights.”

We live in “sketchy” times. The above video reminded me of this Jon Stewart take on the “Austin, Texas Corona Bat Virus.”
Who said, “there are no coincidences?”

Odd title for such a good song. Apparently, Detlef Schrempf was a German-born, Seattle SuperSonic, NBA player who disappointed his fans (at least, the song writter for Band of Horses) by moving to the rival Portland Trail Blazers.
Not being an NBA fan, I liked the song better before knowing this silly backstory — sort of like MTV ruining song’s with their actor-reenactment-videos. There is something to be said of letting your imagination “fill in the blanks” (or meaning of lyrics).

Over two decades of obsolete computer/camera cords. Due to our old PBS painting series, we may have more cables than the “average Bear” (for those who grew up with Yogi), but I suspect there is a mountain of this stuff stored away in most homes.
Every now and then I need an old cable, so I try to search through this tangled mess — hence “Cord Hell.”
