I love books, yarn, beasties, movies, and pop culture. Left coast of Canada and so liberal I'm almost a communist, kidding, but definitely a socialist. 🇨🇦🍁🧶🐾

The ‘bel’ in ‘decibel’ is for Alexander Graham Bell.
Since the ‘B’ in 'dB' is a name-derived unit, it is capitalized when abbreviated.

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

Many of the poems I love are like artichokes.
Slightly prickly and perhaps even a bit dull on the outside. Till you strip them, layer by layer by layer, and discover the aching, delicious nub of their heart.
