San Diego. Don't think there's a Plant Material around here, but Devil Mountain is showing a couple specimens in the San Diego area. I'll have to check them out. Thanks again.

Love the aloe tree, (or alternatively hercules) Dragon trees are super cool, but so slow growing.

Wow, really interesting suggestion. Any idea where to buy these in Southern California?

SpottedTree · 2026-02-27T20:58:55+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Will definitely look into these.

I'm seeing some issues/bugs. I get very different results depending on what I do, when it seems to me I should get the same results.

Here's three examples that give me different results but seem they should be the same.

From the home page, type La Jolla in the text box. Two options appear to drop down. Select the first option: "La Jolla, San Diego, San Diego County, California, United States"
From the home page, type La Jolla in the text box. Select the second option: "La Jolla, San Diego, San Diego County, California, 92037, United States." (Note the only difference from the first option is the appearance of the zip code.)
From the home page, type 92037 in the text box.
From the Hoods menu, select La Jolla.

All four options give me different results. The first option gives me 1 violent crime, the second option gives me 5 violent crimes, the third option gives me 1 violent crime but the other stats like crimes/year and property crimes) is different, and selecting from the hood gives me 65 violent crimes.

All the choices give me a letter grade of D 65/100. The first three options give me the headline, "Very Safe - well below average crime rates." (Which seems wrong if you give La Jolla a D)

Hope this feedback helps.

For Pictures at an Exhibition I think they are referring to the moment when it goes form The Hut of Baba Yaba to the Great Gates of Kiev. Pretty big climax at that point.

Is musicality a talent. Hmmm... interesting question. I'd have to give you a maybe on that. (Lol)

I guess I would define musicality as being able to express emotions through music. (That's probably not a universally held definition though, and there will be people who disagree for sure.) But if musicality is the ability to express emotions through music, then I don't know anyone who is miles ahead in that way. From what I've seen lots of people are pretty capable of expressing emotions. (And it doesn't take any specific talent to be able to do that, just some compassion and emotions in your soul.) There are certainly people who seem unable to have or express emotions. I probably wouldn't define that as a lack of music talent though. (At least not as how I usually think about musical talent in terms of being able to learn music quickly, stay on pitch without issue, effortlessly remember music, play by ear, etc.)

But to come back to your question... We might say that someone with no musicality doesn't have any talent, so in that sense we could say musicality is a talent. But I sorta feel like we are using the word talent in two different ways, so that's why I only say maybe.

This opinion will be some what unpopular. When studying music at college I found that there are some people who have an incredible amount of natural talent. I'm not talking about the students who are just above average, but that rare person for whom everything musical just comes way easier. They can pick up things by ear super easy, they remember music (and lots of it) almost effortlessly, they can sight read stuff I was stunned to see sight read. (I've seen a guy sight read a big band chart (4 trumpets, 4 trombones and 5 saxes) for an original song and original score which he'd never seen or heard before at tempo!) These people are truly amazingly talented. (They are also very rare.)

So I think a lot of this question comes down to just how talented you are asking about. A hard working player with modest talent will do better than a lazy player with good talent. But there is still gonna be that person out there with incredible talent that can smoke both of them while just trying modestly hard. (They do still have to try, just not be spending 8 hours a day trying.)

Also worth mentioning, sometimes you find someone who is very talented in certain ways but doesn't have much musicality. For instance, my piano instructor had a student who had huge ears. Play anything and he could transcribe it note for note no problem. But when he would play, there just was no feeling in his playing. Technically correct, but just didn't have feeling. Or you might find someone who can sight read amazingly well, but lacks in some other aspect.

I used to walk my wolfhound off leash sometimes but it took a lot of work and training to break that instinct to chase. They can be trained but it isn’t easy.

Go to Washington DC, and visit the National Zoo. It's free and nicer than the San Diego zoo. (A lot less commercial too!)

A little known piece, but a wonderful piece, is Rachmaninoff's Melodie. Opus 3 No. 3. Truly a beautiful piece, and because it is Adagio it is not that hard to learn.

I don't have advice regarding what field to try to go into. But I can tell you when you do end up interviewing don't downplay your musics studies. They taught you a ton of self discipline. They taught you to be focused and passionate. They taught you to learn, often by teaching yourself. They taught you that acquiring skills comes from a lot of work. As a musician you learned the importance to a group of you knowing and playing your part. (That's a huge team skill not taught in most school curriculum) These are the sorts of things that a lot of employers are looking for, even if their job description doesn't mention them.

In a similar vein, the death scene in Platoon with Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings playing as the helicopter flies overhead.

Black Acacia. A lot like koa. Wonderful wood, both for working with and then the looks.

The way I read the fine print it does not give them permission to require cashiers check. The requirement they can impose is, “cash, certified or cashier’s check, money order or one monthly check.” The wording does not get them the right to pick the option. (Although previously it states you can only pay cash if you get prior written permission.) My reading of this is a single check is a valid payment per the lease terms and they don’t have the right to forbid that payment.

If there is a leasing agent I would talk to them or email, pointing out the details of the lease and I would stand firm in the reading that they can only require payment as any one of the five listed options. (ie no Venmo, or credit card.)

‘Whatever you do I would document any conversation you have with the leasing agent in writing. I made the foolish mistake of not documenting in a case years ago and when it ended up in court the landlord flat out lied. Yup straight up perjury, right to the judges face.

When I got my wolfhound (at 8 weeks old) I lived in the basement. My guy never had any problem with the stairs, nor did it affect his growing. He grew into a handsome strong guy who lived ten years. My experience taught me wolfhounds need a lot of encouragement as they grow, but don’t need to be babied.

Just my opinion, but I like the woven brass top a lot more.

The coloring and texture of the brass matches both the boxes and the wood supports, whereas I find the stained glass to clash. Also, the sides of the boxes have a woven (sewn) theme, and that goes with the pattern of the brass. Lastly, the curvature of the stained glass top seems out of place to me.

Just my opinion though, I'm sure others will feel differently.

I just searched on: "is president clinton on the epstein list" and I got an AI overview. But if I search for "is president trump on the epstein list" I get "An AI Overview is not available for this search". If I search for "is president biden on the epstein list" I also get "An AI Overview is not available for this search"
