"Activists" attacking works of art. Wtf. This latest one is beyond idiotic. Their cause is sustainable food and they threw food at the Mona Lisa. Maybe they should have given the soup to a homeless person instead.

Or better yet, since this is an important part of human history, maybe the museum budget should be doubled and half used to feed people.
I gots the athereetus; really annoying.
Was big time cleaner of chairs until I realized that was why my hands froze shortly after - still try to accommodate by breaking ice with poles and pushing off, but not doing wet snow any more!Quote:

Sí. I’m about three weeks out. I also had my shoulder done on the same arm at the same time. Super-duper awesome start to 2024. Even more fun…I am probably having the right side done in December as well.Quote:

It took me a while looking at it to figure it out.

Yes, I am left handed, so the fury is now coming in from the right.

I will have to wait & see if the replacement actually works, but a decent update…
