Amazon simply noting the new tax on product listings? "Hostile and political act!" according to the White House. Trump is trying to shoot the messenger, let's see if Bezos backs down. (odds are he will.) #tariffs

I'm old enough to remember when one of our techs would forget to update our 5ESS telecom switches for Daylight Savings Time, and it would crash the network.

I've been obsessed with this painting for years. Just ran across it again, and thought I'd share. William Logsdail (1859-1944) "St Paul's and Ludgate Hill" c. 1887
