    I've noticed the "curated" tag attached to all kinds of stuff over the last year or so included curated music lists...LOL

    Even worse is the increased use of "bespoke." I guess for the ultra hip and rich, nothing is special unless it is bespoke. 🤦🏻‍♂️

    It is my best practice to only buy artisan hand-curated bespoke robust toothpicks that have been empowered with the edge to take it to the next level.

    Yes, that one too and curated is used for the same reason. Goes along with the participation trophies they got in school. You're soooooo special.

    My Granite Carvers are worthy of being “Bespoke”. Should I ever decide to part with such treasures, I will be certain to use the term copiously within an advertisement worthy of their grandeur.


    Is that snobbishly rich and hip enough?🤣🤣🤣

    Pretty nice chunk of land you've got. I always enjoy seeing your "yard". What feeds the water I see down yonder? Is it a small lake? We call those "tanks" here in TX. Is it a river? A creek? A pond? What the heck is that back there?

    That's our neighbors' :) Mine's nice, but not that nice. :blush:
    That's a pond; stream-fed. Quite a nice little pond it is, too.

    I always tell folks we have the nicest view we could afford. We couldn't afford the view I posted above. ;)

    some green-winged teal on the neighbors' pond from April 2022.

    There's actually another, much smaller pond/marsh nearby. Great place to see migrating (and nesting) birds in the springtime. Here're some wood ducks in the smaller pond, also from '22.

    We bumped into another neighbor as we were walking down the hill this evening. We remarked about the gorgeous evening and I said, "Yeah -- it's too bad it's not prettier around here, isn't it?" :p

    Of course they're debating it at ASR (where I saw this), but my gut feeling is that there's a causal relationship in these data. B)

    Excellent question!
    As you know...
    Further studies will be required to fully explore and understand the significance of these findings.
    Which, translated into normal talk, means, of course:
    Please, please, please fund my grant renewal application! PLEASE?!?!

    I zoomed 400% and still can't make out what it is. Not enough detail and a bit out of focus.
