Zelenskyy doesn't dress worse at the White House than Elon does.
The best I've heard, though, is a man without a suit sitting next to a suit without a man. 😁

I get that, but I've never lived in a country that practices daylight savings time. Nor do I think I would, really.

What countries produce good wool?

I'm curious what percentage of wool you use for sweaters, hats, mittens. Things that aren't as hard-wearing as socks.

Not a small project.

That's an interesting read. Thanks for sharing it. I'm an expat, so no eyes on the ground. I couldn't understand the disconnect between the reported numbers and voter sentiment, either. This puts things into perspective a bit.

It isn't in the middle of a paragraph when he does it, more for flashbacks and memories.
He did it quite jarringly in the middle of a scene in Silverview, though.

John le Carré did that trick with verb tenses, too.

Hmm. Did you choose those books based on the color of their covers on a color wheel? 😁

In my experience, coffee shops never improve unless it's an owner-operator who's still figuring out how to roast or needs to fund equipment. This chain is a coffee shop with pasta and pizza (and souffle pancakes). The environment is comfortable, and their coffee is already better than Starbucks'.

It's okay, but not at that price. They should either lower their prices or else up the quality. We'll still go there even though they're a chain, just to support having them in the area. They won't be a regular haunt, but maybe on days when the weather isn't so great.

The 2006 Miami Vice is criminally underappreciated.

Such a good movie with such a deceptively simple premise!
