Iowa season ticket holders.

I can't confirm any of this, but we should know for sure soon since Iowa said mid-February release of details.

Dick Van Dyke performs with Cold Play. Watch it any time you need to be lifted up.

I like a good cover of a song that reimagines the original. This version certainly does. youtu.be/Zm1-bVYio1k

This will be well shared throughout social media platforms. “Bluesky’s 20 full-time employees have been working around the clock to deal with the issues that come with hyper-growth... they have been trying to keep early users happy as new members have flooded in.”

What I like about music (jazz in my case) is how people across a wide age range can make beautiful music together. Doc Cheatham was 91 years old when he recorded an album with 24 year old Nicholas Payton.

I view BlueSky on my iPad. I find that using a prowler gives me a much better experience. By building my lists and pinning some to my Home Screen, I better focus on my current needs.Thanks for asking about books, @iowanice.bsky.social.

Here’s an unedited murmuration of starlings. They can number as many as 100,000. It looks like CGI from a science fiction movie.

The Socialist Republic of Johnson County, Iowa, is going to build a wall around the county and deport all the MAGAs. We’ll make Trump pay for the wall!

Friends stopped over for a cuppa. I am even more excited than I look.

People miss Cronkite & his ilk. I hear TV news voices I find less traditional, then realize I give white Midwest-accented male voices more authority. In its early days, NPR hired more women as a cost cutting measure, giving us Stamberg, Roberts, Totenberg, & Wertheimer. I need all the new voices.

My Kickstarter idea: The AI Leash©. With The AI Leash©, your dog is under control without intervention. You set limits for your dog: stay within set distance of you, return to your side when others approach, & assess other dogs’ aggression to respond appropriately.

My concept of a plan. (Ha!)
