Talent from beneath the radar
Finally. I put on my shorts and tee, left the shoes where they belonged (in the bottom of the closet) and headed out onto the deck. With a push of the button, the BBQ returned to active service. My first steaks of the summer; it may only be April, but I have to push this envelope.
And yes, our supper was delicious. I’m not sure what AAA means in the butcher universe, but our steaks were good. From tip to tip.
After watching the mandatory lampoons of political life, on YouTube (new ones added every day, so I have to keep going back), I decided to sample some music. This time around, unknown artists that can cover a dozen others in a run. There are many, and the talent level is very high. In fact, I have to wonder if someone actually getting airplay, in the old sense, isn’t just a stroke of luck, So many talented and anonymous, able to replace the “names” without missing a beat.
Can’t see them all in one session, obviously. After I get my daily grind done, I’ll check back and see what else I can discover as diversion. No need to be bored.
Recently, I learned the term “machair”, which is used to describe the ground cover found adjacent to some of the beaches in the Hebrides. Not going to bore you with a history lesson, or a treatise on botany. Here’s a photo that does the job.
Now, isn’t that pretty? I have to wonder why my local “edge of the sea” isn’t similarly embellished, given the correspondence of terrain and climate. Isn’t habitat a sum of the two? Must put the question to someone who actually knows about such things.
