Yes pretty cool. We are going back this (Saturday 4/9) morning.
Here's a general map of the areas. I've embedded it below. On the left I wrote in Phelps Hospital and north of that, Rockwood Hall. The Hall has the foundation remnants of a vast 204 room William Rockefeller mansion. Wonderful views of the Hudson.
Anyway we are enjoying the walks, along wide, clear paths - very easy paths, with some up and down.
Not good. But very good reporting.
According to sources, Justice Stephen Breyer, who is set to retire at the end of the judicial term, asked Thomas about the hat during arguments.
"Hey, Clarence," Breyer said. "It's good to see you again—hey, what's with the hat?"
Thomas, who recently finished a brief hospital stay, has said he is stronger than ever and ready to overturn the 2020 election as soon as possible but failed to specifically acknowledge his new hat.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor confronted him during the mid-day recess. "You need to take off that hat and swear you don't believe Trump is the president. Swear fealty to Biden!" she bellowed.
Thomas explained with a smile that the hat was "just a joke" but Justice Sonia Sotomayor claims the smile never reached his eyes. "He's going to destroy our democracy! I'm calling the authorities!" cried Sotomayor. ...
Trump has confirmed that when he is reinstated as President, he will grant Justice Thomas 10 votes on the court.
Well, fair is fair. Illegal immigrants are still being flown into Westchester County Airport on charter flights and then bused to - to who knows where?
“To help local officials whose communities are being overwhelmed by hordes of illegal immigrants who are being dropped off by the Biden administration, Texas is providing charter buses to send these illegal immigrants to Washington, D.C,” Abbott announced at a press conference Wednesday.
“We are sending them to the United States Capitol where the Biden administration will be able to more immediately address the needs of the people that they are allowing to come across our border,” he said.
Yeah, initially surprised, but then it all made sense. What else is there? This is off Yahoo! News
...Carlson’s 9 p.m. ET program was the top cable news show among Democrats in the advertiser-coveted age range of 25-54.
These numbers only account for October but reveal that Fox News’ and Carlson’s sizable audiences are not that easy to define. Consider Carlson’s ratings that month. In October, Carlson’s show was the top-rated program in the demo across all of cable news and was the second highest-rated show overall, coming in only behind Fox News’ late-afternoon panel show “The Five.” In total average viewers, he netted 3.081 million viewers and in the demo, he secured 483,000. For the entire year of 2021, “Tucker Carlson Tonight” was the highest-rated program in cable news overall, bringing in an average of 3.214 million total viewers with 535,000 in the demo.
the first Amazon location to vote to unionize. Excerpts below, but hit the link for the whole article.
It was a union organizing campaign that few expected to have a chance. A handful of employees at Amazon’s massive warehouse on Staten Island, operating without support from national labor organizations, took on one of the most powerful companies in the world.
And, somehow, they won.
Workers at the facility voted by a wide margin to form a union, according to results released on Friday, in one of the biggest victories for organized labor in a generation.
Employees cast 2,654 votes to be represented by Amazon Labor Union and 2,131 against, giving the union a win by more than 10 percentage points, according to the National Labor Relations Board. More than 8,300 workers at the warehouse, which is the only Amazon fulfillment center in New York City, were eligible to vote.
The win on Staten Island comes at a perilous moment for labor unions in the United States, which saw the portion of workers in unions drop last year to 10.3 percent, the lowest rate in decades, despite high demand for workers, pockets of successful labor activity and rising public approval.

The union victory at Amazon, the first at the company in the United States after years of worker activism there, offers an enormous opportunity to change that trajectory and build on recent wins. Many union leaders regard Amazon as an existential threat to labor standards because it touches so many industries and frequently dominates them.

54th in a row. Using ORATE as my starting word has worked well. Three vowels and two other common letters. IRATE would also work; I think Tim uses AROSE which is another good starting word.
Thanks to Maria for sending me this.
“I am grateful for having had this chance to stand up for freedom of speech, which is an essential right in a democratic country,” Rasanen said. “This has been my honor. … I hope that this ruling will prevent others from having to go through the same ordeal.”
Rasanen, Pohjola, and their legal team also expressed concern that the prosecutor who pursued these charges against the police’s recommendation might appeal the case. The prosecutor has seven days to appeal or let the decision stand.
“If we had lost the case, there would be no way that we could publicly proclaim the law of God and the forgiving gospel of Jesus Christ,” Pohjola emphasized in the press conference. “That would have radically changed the whole atmosphere in our church body as Christians in Finland.”
RJ Davis, University of North Carolina
In one of the best environments the sport has seen, North Carolina edged Duke 81-77, advancing to face Kansas in Monday night's national championship game.
Here's the box score - Davis scored 18, 14 in the first half to keep UNC in the game. Griffin, shot poorly, 1-7 from the field and only 6 points. He's primarily a shooting forward, but didn't have it last night.
Wow. Great for Stepinac's basketball program.
Here's the NYP about the two, North Carolina’s R.J. Davis and Duke’s AJ Griffin.
Together, they put Stepinac on the map, leading the Crusaders to the 2018 city and state championship. The next year, they fell to Christ the King in the city championship and were the top overall seed in the playoffs the following year before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. They’ll be on the court together again Saturday night, meeting for the third time this year. Griffin and Duke won the first meeting. Davis and North Carolina won the second. The rubber match is by far the most important one. No matter who wins, Stepinac will be represented on the final night of the college basketball season.
Well I always liked it - don't know about being the best. A survey of 1,500 in the UK. Here's an article and below is the list and below that, "Sweet Child of Mine" official video. 1.2 billion views. I am still very partial to 5th place "Stairway to Heaven" and 9th place "Layla". Of course there's no accounting for taste... and it' only one survey (but getting lots of press).
