The challenge is to choose 20 albums that greatly influenced my taste in music. One album per day, for 20 consecutive days. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. (Unless you ask...)
Day 2

Today's #BigBand #Standard song is Gene Kelley's song (and dance) Singin' in the rain (because today's weather) from 1952. Fun to note that Debbie Reynolds had never danced before this movie!
Enjoy a little singing in the rain if you, too, forgot your umbrella (who, me?).

The globe. If you watched Oppenheimer and paid attention, you saw the big globe in President Harry Truman's office at Blair House.
There really was one.

Might have to read this one.

Geez Louise.
It's a focused internship. The Smithsonian has many internship programs that give a variety of museum experiences.
Quit tying up their people and funds with frivolous law suits.

Morning @yogapaddlerun
What's on tap for you today?

@janallmac
Sorry you are feeling poorly. Maybe sitting in tge warm sun will help.

Good morning, @Minholkin. Love today's photo. There was a Spanish prof at UVA who used to teach "Don Quicksoat."
Still makes me chuckle thinking of it.

Morning, @Mandypar! A warm start to the day here; gonna need my bumbershoot.

Good morning!
Cloudy and 36 F, with a high 20 degrees warmer and rain beginning about lunchtime. Thunderstorms (in February!) on tap for tomorrow.
In the last 2 winters, we have had 4" of snow. The normal is 40 to 50", so I guess that average will be changing as our winters warm.
The Carolina wren is happily singing in my rhododendron. He may be telling me the small bird feeder is empty.
That's the weather from the ancient Blue Ridge of VA. Go forth and add kindness to the day.

Thank for giving us a healthy place for social media, and for a gathered community who display the best of our natures.
I appreciate your hard work and perseverance; your good humor and patience.

Folks, it's time to remind @th3j35t3r how much we appreciate him and his efforts on behalf of our community here.
Go Pro. Help fund CoSo.
And mind your manners; say thank you.

Nowhere in any library school text did I ever read, "You may be warned with arrest and jail time, bullied and threatened with violence, physically attacked, and harassed, just for doing your job."
Those endorsing censorship should be scared, because librarians are tough protectors of freedom.
I am a member of the Guild of Radical Militant Librarians. Our uniform is not pinks and greens, but cardigans.

Next project are these mittens, in cordovan Lite-Lopi.
I am still working on my daughter's green afghan but it's too big to port around.
