It is the glitches that make life interesting with a capital ‘I’.

This here guitar can feel quite sad
Can be high strung, sometimes get mad
It can't understand or deal with hate
Responds much better to love

And this from Jimi. One of the most beautiful guitar pieces ever played. (Rumor has it that it was recorded in one take in the last 20 minutes of a day's studio session.) Two and a half minutes of magic.

Surfing needs conditions, and forecasts for those are useful. If you’re wanting good times surfing, anywhere in the world, watch how the Madden-Julian Oscillation is doing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madden...an_oscillation


L = 1:07:44. Covers all the oceans, noteing current and forecast wave parameters, height, wavelength (timeing), direction. I learned of the aforementioned MJO from this chan, and I’ve never heard it mentioned anywhere else. So, good on him.

This is all about actual surfing (conditions), but I think it fits to this ephemeral crafted thread too.

When I was young
It seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees
Well they'd be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me

But then they sent me away
To teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And then they showed me a world
Where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical

There are times
When all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep

Won't you please
Please tell me what we've learned

I just wonder how a guy from Canada winds up posting surfing videos on the internet. Then again, he does talk a lot about surfing, and he does talk a lot about wind.

How Different Types of Apples Got Their Names

Red Delicious



These are probably the most common apples you’ll find in the supermarket. Jesse Hiatt, a farmer in Iowa in the late 1800s originally grew the Red Delicious on his farm and called it the Hawkeye. He entered the apple into a contest run by Stark Nurseries in the early 1890s.

After he won, Stark bought the rights to the apples and renamed them Stark Delicious. The name was eventually changed to Red Delicious to distinguish it from Stark’s Golden Delicious, which entered the market a bit later. The popularity of the Red Delicious has markedly risen and fallen from its heyday in the 1980s.


Fuji



Guess where this apple originated? That's right, like the camera and film company bearing the same name, Fuji apples originated in Japan in the 1960s. It was created by Japanese researchers by combining two American apples — the Red Delicious and a Ralls Janet.

It didn't come to America until the 1980s but it has since become very popular. Most say that this apple got its name from a town called Fujisaki, located in a prime apple growing area of Japan.


Golden Delicious



The Golden Delicious apple is not related to the Red Delicious. It got its name from its golden skin, which distinguishes it from most other apple varieties. Originally grown on the Mullin’s farm in Clay County, West Virginia in the 1890s, it was originally called Mullin’s Yellow Seedling until it was bought by Stark Nurseries and renamed the Golden Delicious. It became so popular that it was also named the state fruit of West Virginia.


Granny Smith



This apple was discovered by accident by "Granny" Maria Ann Smith in New South Wales, Australia in 1868. Granny Smiths stand out from most other apples because of their green flesh and their very tart flavor. Granny Smiths are great for eating out of hand, and they're great for baking as well.


Empire



Empire apples got their name because they originated in New York (the Empire State) in 1966. Created by the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station at Cornell, Empire apples are a cross between Red Delicious and McIntosh apples.


Honeycrisp



Designed by researchers at the University of Minnesota by cross-breeding a Macoun apple with a Honeygold in the 1960s, Honeycrisp apples are sometimes referred to as a "name-brand" apple.

They actually taste like they have a hint of honey drizzled on them, are incredibly crisp and cost more than the average apple. Many people are willing to pay the premium though because Honeycrisp apples are just that good.

Did we forget something? — McIntosh, Pink Lady, Jonagold, Braeburn, Rome Beauty ...

There are many stories, are any of them true-true?

And stories told to you
Did you ever feel

Our favourite at home is the Jazz Apple, bluegreen, a relative newcomer, developed in New Zealand in the 1980s. They're a cross between Braeburn and Royal Gala, are crisp, juicy and very very sweet. Delicious.

Just for the craic, I planted a dwarf Braeburn and a Scrumptious tree (have no idea what that's like) a year ago and have about 3 apples on each at the moment. I think they take about 5 years before producing any kind of volume.

In a 2016 interview with Terence Moore, Barry Bonds said he regretted the persona he had created.

"I've created this fire around me, and I'm stuck in it, so I might as well live with the flames."

"The Lie said to the Truth, "Let's take a bath together, the well water is very nice. The Truth, still suspicious, tested the water and found out it really was nice. So they got naked and bathed. But suddenly, the Lie leapt out of the water and fled, wearing the clothes of the Truth.

The Truth, furious, climbed out of the well to get her clothes back. But the World, upon seeing the naked Truth, looked away, with anger and contempt. Poor Truth returned to the well and disappeared forever, hiding her shame. Since then, the Lie runs around the world, dressed as the Truth, and society is very happy...

Because the world has no desire to know the naked Truth."

Painting: Truth Coming Out Of The Well, Jean-Léon Gérome, 1896.
