Good morning to everyone but especially to all the octopuses, for today is their special day!

To celebrate World Octopus Day, here's an illustration of an octopus from the book 'The World of the Sea' by Moquin Tandon, published in 1869.

Eternal Silence, the statue of a cloaked figure at Graceland Cemetery, is getting the spa treatment.

A statue is wrapped in plastic, with scaffolding surrounding it as well as the monument behind it.

There's no way to discuss invoking the Insurrection Act besides seriously.

A decision is not expected to be imminent, one source said, but debate within the administration has shifted recently to more deeply exploring how and when the act might be invoked.

Prrince's studio for Dirty Mind was or probably less than five miles as the dove flies from where Bonnie Raitt recorded her debut with Willie Murphy et al, almost a decade before

The Replacements were much more honest:

"Mostly recorded Oct. '82 - Jan. '83 in some godawful suburb north of Minneapolis"

Hootenanny album back cover says: "Mostly recorded Oct. '82 - Jan. '83 in some godawful suburb north of Minneapolis"

I lived all my life up until a couple months ago thinking it was
Hippy
and
Yippy
not Hippie and Yippie.

I mean, as a kid, I had a crush on Abbie Hoffman. I would have thought I'd know. I guess how he spelled his name should have been a clue.

Anyway, Prince started the whole "What are the boundaries of Uptown Minneapolis?" meme/argument/controversy in 1980, in the liner notes credits for his "Dirty Mind" album:

"Recorded somewhere in Uptown"
