Von Herrman was a journalist, who turns up working in Boston around 1900. He was also involved in theater.
Libation Legacy🍸@libation-legacy.bsky.social · 3d agoFinally getting to the San Francisco Examiner article by Karl Von Herrmann, dated August 28, 1905. It's a bit much to clip, plus there's artwork by sportswriter and cartoonist Hype Igoe, so I'll try linking to it. I don't think we've seen a piece of spirits journalism like this, before or since.
It's been about four years since the departure of the regal, willful, bright-eyed Doodles. Here she is with Marty (left) in Feb 2021. Marty was then about a year and a half old, and Doodles was 13.
You simply cannot conceive of how many stick-related calculations that young lad is capable of.

Grocery margins are low is a frequently rehashed point to argue against Mamdani’s public grocery stores. Grocery is indeed a low margin business. But its median return on invested capital is above that for all firms, so it is NOT a low profitability business. Let me explain. 🧵

It seems to me that even the people who claim to be offended by film and literary criticism they disagree with or find grating are loving debating the possibilities of translation and interpretation of literature and film and my my my what a gift.
Sometimes I let them drive. Today your dogs decided to visit Hackney Wick.

Looks like the cover for a children's book but is actually a sloth from the 1590s by Joris Hoefnagel. Amazing! Somebody must write a book to go with it.
It might even be worth $49 to you! But I intend it to be free (and they keep all of the money). So probably I am pulling it off of Coursera because we obviously can't have nice things. Anyone have favorite other platforms? Youtube is easy but unstructured. Not familiar with the overall landscape.
Serious plea for medical insight: Beloved family member diagnosed w Parkinson's at 50 (in 2020). On usual meds. Few tremors but severe balance and movement/freezing issues; some cognitive symptoms. Latest specialist says "it's not P's, it's Parkinson's-like." he doesn't treat "P-like." Who does?
Finally! Last 36 hours Max has had a flareup of his back trouble. It stops him lying down -- he'll pace about all night. But now he's able to settle down again.
Melville is an inspiration to squirrel-chasing researchers everywhere.
