The people we bought our condo from (many years ago now) thought that round numbers were inauspicious and replaced a few zeros at the end with non-zero numbers.
I’ve adopted this behavior over the years when I give money to organizations
Got our #newportjazzfest tickets. They just went on sale. Interesting lineup from Charles Lloyd and Herbie Hancock to Angine de Poitrine and Mohini Dey: it will be quite a weekend!

And another mushroom from the same walk for good luck

Mac and cheese as a reward for doing taxes. That might be me this weekend!
Pretty sure I heard the clanks in the post above, too.
Was the last one already it? I haven’t listened, yet. If so my apologies for not having done the reading!
Are you going to do a podcast touching on these issues? I never feel like I understand what the vibe people who love to say “feudal” are going for.
A large, gray and white, spherical capsule with a window in the front and what appears to be an emergency light on the top is mounted at a New York City intersection
I never knew what this thing was but for many years it sat, more or less as public art, at the intersection of 79th and Broadway in Manhattan
That’s some snow for a week into April here in Boston! (By the time I got to work it was more typical wintery mix)
Now playing Jason Moran’s new solo piano album “Jason Moran plays Duke Ellington”. So far it’s lovely in both sounding like the original tunes and also very modern (and very Jason Moran).

I once told a bartender at a jazz club whom I later learned was one of the owners that I looked for planets around other stars. He wasn’t impressed: what about here on earth? We talked for a while but in the end all I could do was thank him for paying his taxes. It lets me do the things I love
Album cover to Stanley Turrentine’s “that’s where it’s at”
Celebrating saxophonist Stanley Turrentine’s birthday (He’d be 92 today) with his 1962 “That’s Where it’s At” with Les McCann (p), Herbie Lewis (b), & Otis Finch (d). Some cool straight-ahead sixties jazz perfect for a Sunday morning
#jazzSky
Be coincidence, played this Stanley Turrentine album this morning, not knowing it’s his birthday.

I missed pianist Hiromi Uehara’s birthday yesterday. I’ll celebrate by going way back to her Time Control album from 2007 #jazz

I agree with your metaphor and Michael Hobbs says this all really clearly and I 100% agree.
“Eye tests”: I heard a story from a Dr. who does exams one needs for a pilot’s license that they had to change the color blindness test because people were memorizing the order of the test.
