Are Christmas cards no longer a thing?
We used to get 40+ Christmas cards a year and this year 16 - about the same as the past few years. I remember my pop getting a zillion cards that he would hang and cover the hutch and adjoining walls. I have about 50 on my Christmas cards list I send to.
Giant bird of paradise - don't make the mistake I did
I inherited a few giant bird of paradise plants with our new house. Big ones, 15-20 feet tall. After getting tired of looking at the dead parts around the trunks I decided to clean them up and remove the dead parts. After finishing and a quick trip to the store, I come home to find that the tops of two of the plants just snapped off. Apparently the plants need the dead “growth” up the trunks for support. Major fail on my part. I hope the other plants don’t meet the same fate.

Fork etiquette question
I hope this is the right forum for this question but it's been bugging me since lunch yesterday.
When you have a salad as an entree (nicoise in my case yesterday), do you use the salad fork or the entree fork? Neither the waitress nor her co-workers knew and a quick internet search didn't help either.
A couple of songs by WAR just because I saw them open up the Los Angeles County Fair tonight.

The Two Popes movie
I’ll post in general discussion since the movie is related to current events but I just watched it last night and thought it was excellent - kind of prequel to the passing of Pope Francis. Lots of things i didn’t know about him since i lost interest in the Catholic Church way back when. Based on some follow up reading, it accurately touches on many aspects of his life and the “dirty war” as well as other events. Highly recommend.
From the Fighting Oligarchy rally
Big Big fired up crowd. I was about half way so tons of people also behind me. Felt good to be out there

Sad news - rock in peace Clem Burke
https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/blondie-drummer-clem-burke-dead-punk-dies-70-obituary-1235940454/Burke (born Clement Anthony Bozewski in Bayonne, N.J. on Nov. 24, 1954) joined punk/new wave pioneers Blondie in 1975, not long after the group was formed by singer Debbie Harry and guitarist Chris Stein.
With an exuberant, high-energy style influenced by the Who’s Keith Moon and Beatles’ Ringo Starr — he played left-handed on a right-handed kit just like Ringo — Burke told Tidal in 2022 that he never thought of his day job as work. “Especially when I do things with my friends and my little side projects that I have with various bands,” he said. “With drumming, you kind of have to keep doing it. You don’t really wanna lose your chops. You wanna be prepared to play when you have to play. So it works both ways. I help people out by playing with them, and they help me to keep my abilities together.”
