More rain -- though it's calmed down some. We have a lot of overcast weather, thanks to wildfire smoke moving down from Canada.
I planted flowers, worked on reports. Put stuff away, did some errands (and an appraisal), and took donations to Goodwill. The Brick mowed our friends' lawn (a 5+ hour task), and worked on the kitchen sink.
Hey, we Bricks lead an exciting life.

The Andy Warhol estate loses a big lawsuit -- on whether it owns the image after he copied it. (In this case, it was an early photo of Prince. The court ruled he doesn't. Or didn't.)
Meanwhile, Michael Moebius, whose work seems way similar to Warhol's, wins a $120 million lawsuit against companies that copy his work. (Moebius says he uses a dozen different photos to come up with his 'collages,' so it's not the same. I'm skeptical.)
'Perfect timing.'
