An excellent piece about the life and music of Ernest Hood. I didn't know that he had to switch to zither due to complications from polio in 1946, but had previously played jazz guitar:

Security cam saw a bobcat wander down the driveway today-!
Fuzzy zoomed-in picture of a bobcat walking. It's got a barely visible stump for a tail, striped front legs, and pointy black-tipped ears.

Back in New Mexico. Driving home, I heard this on the radio and assumed that Björk had taken to singing in fluent Spanish. In fact, it's a Chilean singer named Mon Laferte: youtu.be/WT-VE9OyAJk

Been watching old movies while visiting family for Xmas. Tonight we saw "Random Harvest" (1942). It's a great story that sort of resembles a war-time Severance if you squint. Greer Garson is radiant and Ronald Colman is likeable enough. It's on Tubi: tubitv.com/movies/10003...

A car accident erases the memory of a shell-shocked World War I veteran's blissful marriage to a chorus girl and sends him home to his family.

I'm visiting family for Xmas. My 12 year old niece sang this song for us with my 17 year old nephew accompanying on piano. They are really good musicians!
