Monday Stuff On the Way to Other Stuff: Routine

     Memorial Day's chilly rain has developed into hot-then-cold-then-windy-then-hot weather. The Brick has persevered, nailing balusters ("Not banisters!") on the railing down the new back steps. (If this doesn't make sense, read May's Frugal Hits & Misses.)

     I have a big appraisal report to finish up, as well as a few small ones. The kids have a booth at a gem show. The truck needs a recall appointment. And we both need haircuts. Life goes on. 


Meanwhile:

(Yes, this is early. I have deadlines to meet.)

A huge sonic boom and 'earthquake' hit the East CoastThey're still not sure what happened. Maybe a meteor?

Anna Delvey may be heading 'home' soon -- if the government has its way. (I hope she does, quite frankly.)

A classic from The Prudent Homemaker: Winter's 1840s era costume, and how to make it.

DNA and other evidence leftover from OJ Simpson's trial.  Turns out there's a lot. Hmmm... why didn't we hear about some of these damning details?

A veteran's widow asks for people to visit his grave on Memorial Day -- and is amazed at who shows up. 

Nearly 15 million paid for the 'Rosebud' sled in Citizen KaneAnd more than $500,000 for one of Indiana Jones' whips. Yow. Speaking of treasures:

A new exhibit features Queen Elizabeth's coronation gown -- and it's far more complicated than you'd think.


Some of the Met Gala's most awkward moments. Not to mention weird outfits.

A Japanese temple, housing an 'eternal flame' thought to be 1200+ years old...burns. The flame, ironically, was rescued, and still burns. 

Colorado's goveror gets censured...by his own political party!

Hoffman Challenge contest winners, including Sharon Schlotzhauer's Like A Tree Firmly Planted.



Have a good week.
