Why don't people paint the trunks of their trees white any longer?
It’s been done in various parts of the world to purportedly protect from sun, insects, and other pests, as well as for cultural or aesthetic reasons.
The only folks who did it where I grew up were poor, rural, black folks. Every tree in the yard would be “whitewashed” to about 4 or 5 feet. The same folks often had zero grass in the front yard. Just hard packed dirt.

Happy Veterans' Day
No apostrophe in Veterans Day.
AI explains: There is no apostrophe in Veterans Day because it honors all veterans, not just a single veteran or a group that "owns" the day.
Never seen them, but I heard a guy on a podcast who is a classic rock era concert nut. Said he’d seen Chicago scores of times, but he thought the most recent would be his last.
I might still go if tix are reasonable, but expectations will be low.

re: Best white oak acorn crop in years
Posted by Twenty 49 on 11/10/25 at 11:11 am to Tigerpaw123
Neighbor's Live Oak has dropped so many acorns this year that the yard under it is carpeted with them. Biggest crop I've seen from that tree in many years.
My driveway gets covered in them. Remove them, and it's recarpeted in a day. They've finally started to slow down in the last week or so.

The Three Stooges was sort of ruined for me by a clip like this.
Take out all the sounds for slaps, punches, doinks, etc. and it's terrible. :lol:

Rick Beato has long interviews with each member of The Police on his YouTube channel. Good stuff.
I think Stuart Copeland (drummer) was the most interesting. He is an interesting cat.

re: Never heard of the band Red Clay Strays

Great band. Saw them in Shreveport for about $25 in a small venue. A few months later, they sold out The Ryman.
Catch them live if you can.

re: The $20 YouTube TV credit
Posted by Twenty 49 on 11/10/25 at 6:57 am to East Coast Band
I got an email yesterday that said I will get another email "over the next few days" that will tell me how to redeem the $20 credit.
Note that the Reveille refers to it as a "field goald" attempt.
Nice proofreeding.

re: Help identifying a cover artist

Google AI says to that change:

many female artists have covered both songs. However, there is no single, definitive artist known for covering both. Some artists who have covered these songs include Sheryl Crow and Angelina Jordan for "Here Comes the Sun", while Beyoncé and Andie Case have covered "Back to Black".

I googled your first sentence. Results:

Nina Simone is the female vocalist who covered both "Here Comes the Sun" and "Back in Black". Her album, Here Comes the Sun, released in 1971, features a cover of the George Harrison song. Simone's other cover, "Back in Black," was released on the album Nina Simone and Friends in 2006

Still other farmers almanac brands.
Yep. The article says: "The Farmers’ Almanac, not to be confused with its older, longtime competitor, The Old Farmer’s Almanac in neighboring New Hampshire, said Thursday that its 2026 edition will be its last."
"Editors at the other publication noted there’s been some confusion between the two. 'The OLD Farmer’s Almanac isn’t going anywhere,' they posted online."

Although JBE irked me with his following every Biden mandate during Covid
He started by following the recommendations of the Trump administration. DJT was in the White House from the beginning of covid in early 2020 until Jan. 20, 2021.
JBE is probably as good a gov as Louisiana could elect. Not perfect, but relatively honest and not using the office to run for another office at the expense of LA. We'll likely see more Jindal and Landry types down the road.

My girlfriend asked it for information on the best time to vacation in Portugal, and in five seconds it told her that she had chlamydia. How did it know?

Our house is about 4.4% of net worth near retirement. We’re not rich, so lots of folks are in terrible shape.
