Looks like "Sacellania" to me, followed by apostrophe?

I use mine to do cold-brewed. Works great!

Re the Supreme Court leak, the most plausible explanation for the report's findings is pretty obvious in retrospect:
They investigated everyone -- including a look at their digital communications -- who had access to the draft ruling EXCEPT the justices.
That's basically a roundabout way of saying the leaker had to have been one of the members of the court.
This is a coverup, not an investigation.

People weren’t “involuntarily relocated”. That isn’t what happened. People were enslaved by America, in America. America did slavery. That’s what happened.

Somebody needs to go into the birch-pitch business. I'd buy some.

Huh. Mine looks like this: 😜

@AndyLowry In addition to our recent investigation, we also published a guide to help anyone researching hospices.
Hope it's of some use:

@SecularJeffrey bikers should still dress like WWI pilots, imo
@SecularJeffrey
If it's Tata motors, that might even be worth looking at.

Onions and maple is a really interesting thought! Must experiment. Thanks for the pointer.

That names part is the hardest. The rest, I can do.

Gorgeous indeed! And yet another reminder that before radio, if you wanted music, you'd best be prepared to make your own. 😉

A jeez, don't tell me that! About to sign up in a couple of weeks myself. I guess I'll need to be super-careful. One is run by my palliative care guy, whom I very much trust, so at least I'll have some help from him I hope.

""Recently I had a student approach me after the first week of class and tell me that she was having a hard time in our class because she doesn’t like to hear about or think about death, and I was 'talking too much about death.' I had to gently break it to her that death was kind of a big topic for philosophers."

The recognized Mr. Super Cool Dude of the neighborhood had one of those. It's the only one I ever saw. There were also a couple of big BSA's around. Harleys hadn't really caught on yet, at least not where I lived. There were several Triumphs about as well, Tridents and Bonnevilles both. Ahh, the coveting I did.

Growing up in Ohio, USA, one of my favorite young-teen summer pastimes was watching the bumblebees disappear into snapdragons and then pop back out. 😀

Always kind of wanted one of those 50cc jobs with the step-through frame too, but it never happened for some reason.

Suspension WAS amazing! The yard I was riding around in, though grassy and all, wasn't exactly golf-course smooth. Really tamed the bumps and ridges. By the time I got around to thinking about tracking a Dream down and buying it, I was already on a road bike for touring (750 twin), so couldn't really justify it as it wouldn't have had much of a useful purpose.

And then found not guilty of the premeditated murders he committed. Fun times, fun times.
