Aficionado of low notes — bassoons, cellos, rolling thunder. Whipped cream on my unsweetened apple crumble. Workin’ the pith ‘n’ vinegar beat.

Design treat on a cafe wall. NFS. I asked.
Large vintage gold-ringed wall clock, maybe 50 cim in diameter with teal blue neon inner ring illuminating the face and the large blue dot and word Blaupunkt at slight diagonal between 9 and 2. The Roman numbers also blue are sans serif. The silver hands register a minute or so past 8. There is no second hand. It is analog, so the hands move smoothly. On a cafe wall.

Playing Letter Boxed in NYT: declares wordle « not a word » though I suppose at some point it will morph from a proper noun a la xerox or google into a generic verb.

Not sure I want a phone that boasts of being a burden. Like a more flippant and cheery one.
Ad for a phone that says get one on us, though it looks like onus, or a burden.
