Devastated to read of the death of the painter and writer of Babar, the elephant king books. Laurent de Brunhoff, 98 years, died at home in Florida.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/24/laurent-de-brunhoff-author-of-babar-childrens-books-dies-at-98 Babar was created by his father Jean, and Laurent decided to continue and expand the immersive children’s series. Yet it never seemed merely a child’s picture book with a brief story - instead, each book could capture your imagination and lead you into a colourful world with magical playful animals, luxurious plants scenting the air, and wonder on every page. Very glad for both Jean and Laurent, and their beautiful creations. Children’s librarians around the world will treasure Babar the Elephant King, and comfort him and his fans.

I don't recall Ms. Herman "going nuclear." Seems like the fallout was thrust upon her.

Yes, yes. I know.
We're told from childhood that we shouldn't play with our food.
However, (not) in that vein, may I present Sausage Henge!

I had a garage roof damage from a branch - premium went up to $3,887/yr with Naragansett Bay.
Just worked with Goosehead insurance in town and they found a policy with Progressive for $1,371.

I don't wonder. Lots of people are full of hate and dumber than a rock.

I was also -5 when I gave up. Could have got 4 of them if I persisted. But I wasn't getting "cloche" if I stared at it all night.
