The Beltrami flute (1823) was the first indigenous wooden flute of its kind collected in the US. The melody was the first to come out of this replica made
by Jon Norris Music and Arts.

This is another AI movie done with Gemini by Veo. The cowboy tune is played on a Native American Style Flute. The scenes are in Lusk, Wyoming.

I’m posting a new version of “Safari” again with Native American Style Flute using Google’s new animation AI. The photos were originally stills, made into 9 second movies, spliced together in iMovie and a flute track added. Much improved!

Hakeem Jeffries is still speaking but eventually Republicans are going to pass their megabill.
And it hasn't been discussed much, but that is going to force $500 billion in cuts to Medicare. Not just Medicaid. Medicare.
Here's why:

Republicans Are Cutting Medicare. Not Only Medicaid, Medicare.

Passage of the Big Beautiful Bill will force mandatory sequestration that will mean half a trillion dollars in Medicare cuts.

I may be wrong but Scrubs always looked to me like a version of the hospital novel, House of God by Samuel Shem.

Yes, good post. If you live in Colorado see today’s (June 26) NYTimes story on Breckenridge-Dillon, Moab Ut. and elsewhere in the Mountain West.
