Those look like giant weeds more than trees. The rest of the painting is quite good.
Looking closer, I think those *might* be birds' nests? But the lack of lower limbs makes it hard to tell if those are supposed to be trees or weeds.

The Getty Museum had an exhibition of rare Michelangelo sketches which had to close early due to you know what. The museum curator did a number of last minute videos about the drawings which I have linked below. Some fascinating stuff.

It is a very effective painting. It has the feel of a watercolor but I don't know what medium was used. When it first came on the screen I thought it might be an Andrew Wyeth work, which is high praise.
Thanks, CBD. Great choice.

The idea that it endangers any first responder is ludicrous.

my sources say the Saudis are hardest hit, even though they can pump cheaply. They have domestic demands that are accustomed to the oil money and need more like $40. Russia is in better shape as far as debt to GDP maybe, but they also depend on oil a lot.
US frackers will get bought out by ?? BigOil I guess. They went in debt to build out, and are necessary for maintaining our oil independence, but need probably $55 or so.
We've never had this kind of shut down, but there was some slow down globally, before the pandemic. Now we get to rebuild America in new ways, less globalist, but a debt solution will (hopefully) be a second Trump term issue/resolution.

Milady was telling me about reading that some 300 (?) checkers, nationwide, have died of the Red Death. (Of? or with?)
1. What's the denominator of how many checkers there are, nationwide?
2. Is the distribution different from the general population? from similar occupations?
3. How do we know who among them caught it because of their job?
Statistics: the art of creating nonsense out of smoke.
I do thank every checker, stocker, and fast-food worker I encounter - bunch o' hard-workin' folk out there on the 'front lines' of panic-o-rama.
NE Oklahoma report: a good percentage of folk hereabouts seem to be relaxing and unclenching their sphincters. Fortunately, there is TP.

Spanish lines tend to have operators that are prioritized to Spanish, so that goes to the top of those operators' queues.
Only some of them will be pricks to re-queue you to the English line, and the rest are happy to help anyone who is polite and to the point.
Also, a lot of Spanish monolinguals don't qualify for UE as their SSN are strangely not registered to them or start in "9"

I grumble about how stupid this is now, put one on, walk away, and take it off. For rest of shift I was never told to go home. And about have the others were skipping the mask also.

The spot price is down because there is no place to deliver the oil. Not until people start driving and planes start flying.
And even when the economy opens up, it is going to be scaled way back.
I don't expect the spot price to remain at $11 for long, but cheap oil is here for a long time.

Kris, there was a time when I, a straight guy, liked going to malls. They had things guys liked, bookstores, gadget stores like Brookstone, a drugstore so you could pick up the latest magazines or paperback books that interested you, clothing stores that specialized in men's stuff. Now everything is for women and children, bookstores are gone, and the drugstores are all a mile away.
Not to mention that the malls in my area are full of people that I don't feel comfortable around. And the prices are insane.
Miss Linda likes checking every item on every rack, or so it seems, whether it's at Dillard's or the Red-White-and-Blue Thrift Store, so after I look for anything I want or need, I want to go someplace else where I can sit down and have some coffee. The malls still have that, at least.

NASCAR you can link up multiple drivers to run the course and so every driver is involved. Hell multiplayer over internet might allow a full 42 car field of drivers. Baseball you can't really have the entire team playing the game online. Usually you have one maybe two people playing for each team. Same usually goes for basketball and football games.

At the Karen grocery store near me, the cashiers are largely people in their 70s supplementing SS payments, and acting like we owe them for doing it. The fact is that these people should be staying home "isolating", not the kids who'd love the jobs.I don't think there is a dayshift cashier under 65 there. Some must be pushing 80.

I think the last time I got excited about shopping was for a dress for a military ball. My Man gave me a blank check to find something because he knew how hard it was for me to find something I liked. I succeeded but it took forever. Ended up with a fire red floor length gown with a nice slit up the side. Completed that with black knee-high go-go boots and a choker. Nice.

well, maybe you hear better crap than I do, idk. But I hear that from more than one "oil specialist" that the Saudis obviously have one major source of income for their whole domestic agenda, which has gotten quite large.
In the "game of chicken" (who can withstand the lowest prices) ... USA is in good shape with the reserve currency and much of industry that benefits from low oil prices. But sure, Saudis are going to pretend they only need $11 ... OPEC and Russia agreed to cuts, not near enough, and not near long enough.

Conspiracy Theory:
For people conflicted on how China spread their virus, their Wuhan bio-lab or their Wuhan wet markets, the answer is: BOTH.
It was a Release and Spread plan
What better place to spread a virus than in a disgusting health hazard visited by massive crowds?
The Wuhan lab Released the virus in the markets, and the Spread naturally and rapidly occurred.
Is that what happened? I dunno. Maybe. Probably.

They were great decades ago, so the legacy is there. They keep falling on their faces in the post season, so there's sympathy. They're scrappy, so there's admiration to some degree.
Add in the fact that without the Astros cheating the A's had serious shots at #1 in the AL West for the last couple of years.

Now this morning I saw that this thing raised $129 million for freakin' WHO. The money isn't even going to assist Americans, it's going to the UN! So disgusted.
--
It's simply appalling, especially in light of the very real situations millions of Americans find themselves in because of the Chinese Flu.
I can't wrap my head around any fathomable set of circumstances that would make me think I want to give my money to an organization like the WHO. None. But there are countless fools out there that think if Lady Gaga or any other dumb celebrity is part of it, they want to be part of it too. At which point I think, you deserve to lose your money.
Posted by: Lady in Black, sans mask at April 20, 2020 08:42 AM
Amazing isn't it?
Now, think about it... if they can raise $129 million for the WHO, they can sure as shit raise $129 million to support any number of interests for the American people:
--- support for small businesses
--- purchase of supposedly needed medical supplies in local areas hit hardest by virus spread (NYC, Seattle, Michigan, Florida, etc.)
--- support for local charities
--- support for movie theaters all across the country
And on and on. There are any number of ways they could put $129mil to good use here in the USA.
Instead, they flush it down the toilet of corruption and Chinese-controlled WHO.
Fucking ridiculous.
Every single "celebrity" who contributed to that fundraiser should be called out as being propagandists for our Chinese enemy.

The $20 rental tag for a new, shoulda been theatrical, release is actually not a bad price, especially when you compare against the price of actually going to the theater, including concessions.

They use Blackboard for the online classroom stuff. Turns out that despite ginormous budgets and tons of money tossed at FCPS, the actual software FCPS has installed is seven, yes, SEVEN FUCKING VERSIONS BEHIND.
So Gov Coonman announces school buildings closed for the rest of the school year, and FCPS has been spinning wheels trying to get the Windows 3.0-level-equivalent version of their software to work with current stuff.
No one is able to get it to work. Takes 20 minutes for a simple authorization token to continue to the student site.
And yet, people look at me like I'm a nut when I say FCPS will put a bond issue out in November begging for another $250 million to "upgrade needed information infrastructure."

I don't know if it was deliberate. The markets are a natural vector. Their big community dinner did not help.
I believe it likely escaped their lab, and they knew it early. The "it's bats" cover story came out uncommonly quickly.

Yes and...
Our local theaters have cheap Wednesday nights for $7. Which we take advantage of.
The point of paying more for the movie is not so much that we get to see it right now but the experience. Sure, there are people with really good home theaters but still can't compete with the huge screen and 24000 watt Dolby sound systems.
$20 for 2 people is more, then, than what we pay to get the bigger experience.

Kris, we are absolutely being deprived of Holy Communion. It's awful. At
least my church and some others around here are open during the day for
private prayer and the priests are sticking to their usual confession
schedule or in at least one case I know, increasing the hours
dramatically since it's the only sacrament we can receive right now.
Other churches have just closed shop. It's really sad.

We can watch mass on TV or stream it. Throughout most of history Catholics did not receive communion ever week. In fact, unless you're in a state of grace, you should never receive the body and blood of Christ. Temporary separation from the Eucharist, while difficult, is not unknown. Grace can be received through prayer, especially sincere acts of contrition, and while less efficacious by itself is understood by the Holy Spirit to be the best option currently.

Now that my media room barely has an internet connection (because of a screwup on the builder's part that didn't do the internet right but they'll fix soon enough), and also contains a 65 inch 4K TV, my embrace of physical media is all the more clear to me.
I was able to watch The Dark Knight Rises, in 4K without any signal lag or buffering, all the way through.
Junior, though, tried to watch How to Train Your Dragon on the TV downstairs, connected to the WIFI, and it kept buffering.

Very few businesses and industries are going to escape lay offs following this.

Right, because it's not really a blessing, it's the unity of the Pascal mystery once and for all. At mass you're present on Calvary, taking part in the sacrifice of Christ. It's one event, we just are able to sorta "rejoin" it. The sick can receive the eucharist from a minister or an extraordinary minister but the Eucharist received was transubstantiated at a mass. There are a ton of handling restrictions for those who can deliver it, all which is like carrying Jesus with you. Does wonders for road rage though.

My basic evaluation of the IC and high up military apparatus from watching them over the last 50 years is that they are largely fat, stupid, lazy and incompetent.
Apparently no one has the China beat in this 1 trillion dollar edifice.

Mid-90s. Saw Caspar outside Dickson, Tennessee.

I'm sorry for your youth. Casper don't count.
Need a better or worse movie than the friendly ghost. For the full blown experience it helps so much to have a woman + beer.

Is there a different tax rate per gallon on bulk fuel purchases by farms?

Ha! I brought Eucharist (officially sanctioned and done with a pyx as a transport vessel. Don't anyone think he can just decide to hide a Host in his pocket to take home) to my mom after mass for a month or so as she deteriorated into dementia, and those few blocks of driving were the most difficult I ever had to endure! Having the Lord there is an impediment to modern driving. :-)

Diesel for farm use doesn't have road taxes or the red coloring added.

No crawling under the covers and crying for an hour with this guy, a la Tater "Where are the donuts!" Stelter
-------
I read about the yesterday, and I don't believe he actually did that.
I've noticed with Stelter that ALL of his emotions from laughter to indignation to concern, are all terribly overwrought, situationally inappropriate, and seemingly disingenuous.
I think he's a typical media sociopath who has no idea how to relate to his fellow hoo-mons, and he wildly overcompensates in his attempt to generate simulacra of the different emotions people feel.

Tarkovsky? He directed pictures with ten minute tracking shots through a barren wasteland, ending with a house on fire, right?
