Hi everyone, hope you are either sleeping well or gaming happily, and that @Endre is not flooded, and @Crow is surviving working in the heat - sounds like a horrible job.
@ElT, sorry to hear about the toothache - hope it's gone by now. If not, an old folk remedy is to use oil of cloves, which numbs the mouth. Sucking on an ice cube also helps, although not recommended if your other teeth are sensitive.
Editing to say to @DD - very happy to hear that you were gifted a few well-deserved days off. Hoped it helps to heal the body and the mind also, although that is much harder to do.
Just noticed those posts during a brief look through the thread. Also noticed the name of Taylor Swift pop up - have to say I don't agree with @jOekerr about her being all bad.
Firstly anyone that young who can make the mighty Apple back down deserves a lot of credit in my book; secondly she is at least a good role model for kids. Afaik, her demographic is mostly young teenage women, and she neither drinks nor does drugs. Surely a better role model for young girls than some of the other car crash singers / actors around.
Jmo, as people say when they are expecting to be hit with a rain of missiles. ;-D
Did I mention that it was hot here? In case I didn't, it is. Almost time to walk in the fresh and cool morning air, before the fire in the sky ignites once more.
ZenWan: In memory of the great Gunther Schuller, who died on Sunday:

SalarShushan: RIP Gunther. Evidently he made some very nice music. How nice of GOG to tell me that you'd responded, they mostly don't. Glad you liked the music - thanks for responding. :-)
Heading off now - bye everyone. :-)
