Though he was off by a day or two, bS' comment led me to realize we never gave proper recognition at the time (he passed away just before Christmas). We will rectify that now (as well as test out a little feature).

I've been around here awhile, and have also been connected with citizens over other social platforms. I think I can safely say that I'm not very well known for many, if any, forms of activism.
This has been a pretty crazy week. Obviously locally, but the wider world has seen plenty of turmoil; much, much worse, actually.
On all these topics, I have fairly strong opinions, but as a good Minnesotan, I mostly keep them to myself. This time (and I apologize if this is counter to your own tenets), I will allow myself a little grandstanding.
This small rock blindly pitching headlong through the cosmos is fragile enough. With all the war and blood and hate on top of that which we subject ourselves to, I just don't see any reason to try to counteract anything that allows more love into this world. Institutions may tremble, but, in any form it comes in, #LoveWins.

Here's something a bit off our standard jive for the middle of your week.
From the 1947 film "Carnegie Hall", with Fritz Reiner conducting.
Yeah, the world needs this kind of music. His new album is on first listen, and it's worth your time.
Many thanks to free for an awesome turn at the tables. Happy to have you, good sir.
The solstice was yesterday. It's officially summer. Every day will be shorter from here. Good luck with that!

Turning it down a bit for Father's Day. Lovely song. These guys were very cool to see last week as part of NorthernSpark.
