A stunning #Roman amber flask, found in Aquileia, dating 1st/2nd c. AD.
Aquileia's position at the end of a main amber trade route resulted in its becoming a centre for the carving and distribution of Baltic amber across the Roman Empire.

Bad eyes and stubby fingers, nothing beats a keyboard and a large monitor!
I know I’m “old” because almost every task still feels more natural on a computer than a smartphone. Especially writing.

If you miss The Pitt, might I suggest Krank Berlin (or Berlin ER) on Apple TV+ as a grittier European hospital drama? It's doing a great of filling "the Pitt" sized void (or pit) in my viewing habits. Season 1 so far has great acting, tight scripts. (Not for the faint of heart tho.)

He knew some roll 'n roll times.

In light of rising egg prices in the United States, earlier self-deprecating posts about my meringue failure egg wastage feel callous and insensitive. 😐

They start with quiet deletions, missing reports, and assurances that there is "no cause for concern."

The thing that really bugs me about WaPo losing the "Democracy dies in darkness" slogan was that it was so good!
It's up there with "In space no one can hear you scream," or "Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water" taglines.
How could you give that up? SMH.
