20 albums that greatly influenced me and my taste in music. One album per day in no particular order. No reviews, no explanations (but there's a little one in the alt)
Day 2:
2000: On this day in 2000, Chen Shui-bian, a leader of the pro-independence movement that sought statehood for the Republic of China (Taiwan), was elected president of Taiwan, breaking the Nationalist Party’s 55-year rule.
1990: In what was considered the world’s biggest art heist, two men pretending to be police officers stole 13 works, including paintings by Rembrandt and Johannes Vermeer, from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston; the stolen art was never recovered.

Cafe #DadJoke of the day:

Because the potatoes have eyes and the corn has ears! 🥔🌽
In honor of the colder temperatures around here, a #DadJoke :

A brrr-ito! 🌯
Last week's café #DadJoke:
70% of the Earth's surface is covered by water, but very little of it is carbonated. So the Earth is, in fact, flat.
🥤
This is the only time you'll ever hear me talk about a flat Earth, so enjoy, I guess?
Now that it's finally feeling like fall around here, an appropriate cafe #DadJoke :
How should you speak in the apple library?

Today's cafe #DadJoke:
What happens to garlic during a heat wave?
.
.
.
.
.
It takes off all its cloves.
(Since quite a lot of us are going through a heat wave right now, I feel like this garlic. Though I will be socially conscious and not take off my clothes in public.):
Courtesy of the shirt I'm wearing this morning, I had that thought that in the 80s we purposefully bought extra-large clothing because that was the style then, whereas today I have to buy XL in clothing so my shirts are long enough to cover my belly button (because no one wants to see that at work, and it's a safety thing).
The huge 80s clothes thing is also funny because I can still wear those shirts--and they're still huge on me now.
Friend to all children, even kids from Malta? ✔️

Just reminding myself that this exists.
Colleague started a project late and needs shepherding, so I might have to stay at work late (sigh). I was thinking I might take off early, so I guess that's out. More waiting until I can play #JediSurvivor again..
