Kitchen nearly done.
After many years there won’t be a Monday sourdough bake. No 14 is sold and the new owners were in today.
Might just finish the red bottle after sharing the ends with Mrs Aj and Son.*

You can just make out the painted-on cycle lane on the eastern section of Cherry Hinton Road in that cycling city of Cambridge. This is what happens when local councils are chronically underfunded and have no powers to tax excess wealth generated here. (ARM have their HQ half a mile down the road)

Born in Hamelin, Lower Saxony, but raised in Bedford, he* was introduced to minimalist music at the age of 12-13 by the local milkman, an avid new music fan who delivered him records by Terry Riley, Philip Glass and John Cage with the daily pint and inspired an epiphany.

They erased Ruby Bridges from the textbooks. I’m putting her back in the story.
They buried her courage and hoped we would forget.
ERASED isn’t a book—it’s a weapon.
Read it before they ban it. Share it before they erase her.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
