RE: What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?
It’s possible, in Arizona, to have to adjust your watch forwards and backward 7 times over a linear distance of 100 miles.

Not for me, it isn’t. I don’t wear a watch.

Buffy Sainte-Marie has evidently been faking being a Native American for over 60 fucking years. Weirder thing is she's also faked being a Canadian.




Slightly more normal is that she also co-wrote "Up Where We Belong."
Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.

I watched several youtubes. Didn't find one that indicated that she was asked to take a dna test. Could easily end this issue.

Watched a documentary on Max Roach over the weekend. I've appreciated his arranging and of course his drumming, but I had never heard his collaborations with Clifford Brown on the horn. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifford_Brown

Holy moly what a band!

Ioannis Ikonomou, who works as a translator for European Commission,  speaks 21 of the 24 official languages of the EU fluently.   The only three he doesn’t speak fluently are Maltese, Irish and Estonian.    In addition he also speaks fluently Swahili, mandarine Chinese, Benghali, Hebrew, Russia, and Arabic, as well as a number of dead languages such as Latin and old Church Slavonic.    To keep up his fluency he chats with people all over the world in their native language.

He habitually writes all his notes in Chinese to keep himself in practice writing the characters.
