Gerry & Ginny are selling their house.

And their model train collection. Their daughter-in-law typed up an inventory of the train collection.

It was 45 pages long.

Nice little story, pics of the collection

Linguist Jack Grieve posted a bunch of maps that show swearing geographically, based on geotagged tweets.
There are 18 of them, from mild to wild, here.

Kind of general because the township I live in is covered by zip codes of adjoining areas that are very different.

I must have become completely jaded.

Are these new creations in art and technology - or more of just: "What did you expect ?"

I am no more than a casual listener, but I'm reasonably familiar with a couple of the pieces featured and found it an interesting exercise.

However, I have no musical ability whatsoever, so the purist might well frown upon this site.
