At the risk of revealing my scant knowledge regarding modalities, isn't that kind of what those two are talking about? I think so. They had a scales with different starting notes, but the same 1/2 flats. Basically modes as guitar players think of them

I won a Glissantar quite a few years ago, along with two other Godin guitars, from AG. It was an 11 string fretless guitar-ish version of an Oud. I sold it to a professional Oud player in Boston that the poster Cranky Yankee put me in touch with. I could not make heads nor tails of it. I didn’t know you had won one of those. They are an interesting Godin design. I wouldn’t want one, but for those who play them, they are really nice.

Getting 2 new tires installed on the Traverse this morning. Pretty exciting stuff. Especially after I see what they cost.

But it does make Oud-dles of good sounds.

What is cool about this instrument is the scales they make with 1/2 flats. The benefits of being a fretless instrument. I like the all 4ths tuning. While you can do that tuning on a guitar, you still can't make those scales without a bended note being a scale tone.

We got tickets for the Diamondbacks vs Cleveland Guardians for next week at the Goodyear ballpark (10 min from the house). It’s always fun to watch them play. I have no idea who any of the players are.

Mardi Gras/Fat Tuesday. Have a couple paczki with your morning coffee. Or one paczek, if you are watching your diet. Tomorrow begins the 40 day fast, so eat up. I ate all the rest of the paczki’s last night. Oh well. Wordle 969 3/6 🟨⬛🟩⬛🟨 🟩⬛🟩🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

As you all probably know is our lab Rocky has cataracts in both eyes and we had been pursuing getting those fixed since he has also been deaf since he was a puppy. But since his eye exam a couple weeks ago, he has developed an ulcer from a deep scratch (probably caused by the eye exam). So yesterday they had to fix that by essentially abrading his cornea (making the eye a complete mess) then put a contact lens over it to heal for 2 weeks. So the surgery has been cancelled for now and he's on pain pills and wearing a cone for 2 weeks and antibiotic drops 3 times a day. So he's deaf, blind in one eye and can't see out the other. Life sucks.

There are so many examples of private equity making leveraged buys of firms then saddling them with the debt until they collapse from it. They may not have intended to do it, but they did none-the-less and that makes them despicable scavengers.

We have a lot of Bauman pottery. I inherited a lot when my sister died, too, and have given some of that to friends so that it can be used, displayed, and appreciated. I don’t want it packed away in a box not seeing sunlight. Barb rotates our stuff depending on the time of year. We also have a lot of Bauman pottery and all of it is on display and/or being used to store stuff or serve stuff. The benefit of functional art is the functional part.

I saw this trailer recently and thought it would be a very interesting movie to see when it's released. The trailer for the Rob Reiner film called God and Country.
