Man, is it cold here. And windy. And rainy.
We're still in Michigan. The fall leaves are a fond memory -- and a wet sodden mess everywhere. But we've been enjoying the warmth of visiting our family. One more week -- then, barring any shutdowns at the state border, it's a stop at the factory in Indiana to (hopefully) get a problem with the jacks fixed. Then back to Colorado, get a Covid test -- and celebrate Thanksgiving with our kids. Hopefully.
I miss them. Big-time.
The Colorado Buffs won again! 35-32 against Stanford.
As for Michigan's loss to Wisconsin -- I STILL don't want to talk about it. Ditto for the Broncos.
A 3,000-year-old patterned bronze sword -- found sticking out of the ground in a Czech forest!
Giving your walls an 'old brick' effect with frogtape and just a little paint. Note: not us old Bricks!
An ballet dancer with Alzheimer's re-remembers her old Swan Lake dance moves. Take a look at this profoundly moving video.
Corporate Slave, another new blogger I've been reading recently. A gay guy my age, his world is completely different than mine, including name-dropping, rich friends, upscale restaurants and the galleries he patronizes. (It's in Denver!) He's got some odd 'friends with benefits,' too. Yet we share similar tastes in modern art, food. I've been enjoying his viewpoint, though gay people will probably get more out of it. He looks at Denver's social and art world very differently than I do, but writes well. He's a good contrast to another blogger I read a lot, I Pick Up Pennies.
How much various actors make in residuals. Tom Selleck makes $0 for his work in Magnum P.I.??? Wow. You can tell who had brave agents that thought ahead. The cast of Gilligan's Island had the same struggle. (And no, 'Mary Anne' -- Dawn Wells -- did NOT get paid residuals; everyone else didn't, either.) More on this general subject here.
How did this giant tropical fish get in atypical waters???
A fascinating (and detailed) look at Notre Dame's restoration after its 2019 roof fire.
Some of Robin Williams' funny moments from Whose Line Is It, Anyways...
If $400,000 yearly is considered 'wealthy,' how far will it go in a big city? According to CNBC, that is.
And here's Wallet Hacks' version of same.
I find this rather hilarious, considering that we lived on $20,000 -- or less -- yearly for decades. How many people actually make this much money?? Guess you'd better read this one, too:
Real people, real debt. How they accumulated it -- and what they plan to do about it.

And...various places that will pay you to move there, including the Ozarks.

"Celebrities I've served:" a fun look by a waitress in New York City. (I know...celebrity gossip. Shame on me.)
The Trump Accountability Project -- a blacklist to punish Trump supporters? Here's what Whoopi Goldberg had to say about it:
“This is not a good idea, okay? Your idea of who you don’t want to work with is your personal business. Do not encourage people to print out lists because the next list that comes out, your name will be on, and then people will be coming after you!”
Secret Service code names for the Trumps. (In case you're wondering, the President's name is 'Mogul.' Joe Biden's name is 'Celtic.')
Working as an election judge in Pennsylvania. If this woman's experience is at all typical, it's no wonder Pennsylvania's vote results were such a mess. (From Don't Read This, It's Boring! I'm not making it up; that's what the blog is called.)
Naan bread to make (I LOVE naan bread!), plus flourless fudge cookies. (From One Hundred Dollars A Month)
Marty, the 12-year-old mascot for Mount Washington's observatory, has died. He joins his fellow cathedral cat in that Great Litterbox in the Sky...
A KIS (Keep It Simple) way to deal with debt. (From Thrifty Mom in Boise. So glad she's back.)

Have a great week. Don't do this.
