I can't get my head around the fact the Earth's circumference is a mere 25,000 miles.

 

Try walking it

 

It is a little smaller, if that helps.
24,901 mi

 

I know, but it's the Earth! I've always pictured it as this great colossus ball of rock, when in fact it's barely bigger than a beach ball. I mean it's a little bigger than that, but still...

 

Dunno. Space, I suppose.

 

Yep. It's a bookended spalted maple veneer. Even if solid, a bookend glue-up would eventually fold, so makers wouldn't do it. I'd do a stacked hardwood/spalted maple glue-up for strength, and have thicker facing for show. By then, materials would be minute compared to labor.

 

I don’t know how to interpret all that. Are you saying the example I posted won’t hold up as a guitar body?

 

The pattern on that veneer was 'bookend', meaning that two boards from the same tree were matched. That means one single glue joint, which is weak. So, that example has to be veneer. A single sheet (board) of spalted maple could be used if it were supported by other hardwoods, like a shell or sandwich. I'm saying that to make a solid chunk of spalted maple work, it would require a labor-intensive process. That means the cost of the maple is negligible, comparatively, atp. It would look stunning and be unique, I guess.

 

"According to an article by WebMD..."

Nope, not gonna cite.

Are you fucking shitting me?

 

Is the Deep South just chronically, hopelessly addicted to country music? I swear, I hear the same songs everywhere I go. The same damn country music channel

 

The performance enhancing drug Olympics.

Keep the regular games for the results of training, introduce the other to see what strange glowing chemicals can do to a human.

 

Small towns are pretty country, but I read years ago that more country music was sold North of Mason-Dixon than South. I don't know if that's still true.

 

Used a few Bluegrass pills to help with that?

 

I think it's more a rural/urban dichotomy than anything specifically regional; I know a lot of country artists are from the Midwest.

 

I need fresh produce but I don't want to go to the store. I'll do it. Just hate every moment.

 

Oat milk or soy milk... which one do I really prefer...

 

Sounds like my idea of heaven. Not necessarily the same songs, but non stop country music *

* Unless it’s the modern shite.

 

Chap I’m working with at the moment likes to talk. He’s always relaying things he’s seen and done. But he has this habit of occasionally going into a covert whisper half way through his tales, as though to avoid being overheard. Might not sound that odd except he does this when it’s just me and him and we’re in the middle of nowhere,

Dang it, Wrey!

 

While I worked at the high school garden last night, Cascade softball hosted a post-season game. A dear friend and her cool daughter were going to watch the game, but they came over to me and we spent the whole time talking. It meant a lot to me.

As an added bonus, the girls won in extra innings.

 

I wonder how much manufacturers are going to hike up the prices of their face coverings by, in light of the compulsory wearing ruling.
