A performance of “Dreams” at something called “Party In The Park” here in town: a local trio named Little Winter Sun from Rhinelander, Wisconsin.

The contrast between Barack Obama’s clear respect for the work of US attorneys, the FBI and then … the FOTUS.
“In the past few months, Trump has fired FBI staff involved in the investigation of Russia’s reported involvement in the 2016 election. He recently fired FBI staff involved in investigating the Jan. 6th insurrection in 2021. Now he has called for the DOJ to investigate Letitia James, New York Attorney General, who filed a successful lawsuit against Trump for fraud.” - Women Forward

A Saturday nighty night tune that unfortunately was buried for the most part when released in 1983 but got regular airplay when I was on the air at my first radio station gig the next year.

Do you feel alright?
And can you see me when you're lookin' in your mirror?
Crazy
Try to find a way
So your heart don't pay
Run away
Don't you give yourself away
Our Love Leads To Madness

After rain most of the day, it’s finally cleared up enough for some Saturday evening deck time and the “live” selection which is actually more the current ear worm than anything else.

So I found out your reason
For the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts that I'm lonely
And I should never have tried
And I missed you tonight
So it's time to leave
You see it meant everything to me

Yup. Just a note - I didn’t create the meme so I apologize for the “Resst” on the shirt (whoever did create this forgot the “i”) and also added an extra “than.” Some asshat pointed out there are two Cartmans; no shit. Anyone who’s watched “South Park” over the course of nearly 30 years knows perfectly well even Eric Cartman has been depicted at least a few times as wearing more than just one outfit. It’s the message here that’s really the important thing.

They chose … wisely.
The statement said that the interim sign, which had been in place from September 2021 until this July, was removed because it was not consistent with other sections of the exhibit and blocked the display case. “We removed it to make way for a more permanent update to the content inside the case,” the Smithsonian said. - The Washington Post
