Digging up David Bowie led me to a fork in said rabbithole via which I found out he lived in Berlin for a spell. He said he sang a particular song every morning and I discovered that he and Jim Morrison (The Doors) revived a 1920s German stage play from whence the song comes....
The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahogany.
And it's a weird-ass song, too, which raises the question as to why in the world any German playwrite would write even one damn thing about Alabama. But that's exactly what happened, and David Bowie confesses to have sung it every morning in Berlin.

Nice review from Nature Magazine for THE THREE AGES OF WATER.
"With eloquence and practicality, [Gleick's] essential book discusses the First Age of Water, from the Stone Age to the start of the modern era; the Second Age, of agricultural, industrial and technological revolutions; and the policies required for the Third Age, of sustainability, if civilization is to survive."

Self check-outs seem to inspire more theft in various types of stores.
"According to the study, retailers estimated that as much as 23 per cent of their store losses were due to a combination of theft and customer error at self-checkouts.Two-thirds of the retailers said self-checkout-related losses were a growing concern."
btw -- Theft adds to the cost of goods in stores as stores try to make up for the overall losses (which can be hundreds of dollars or more each day at a large store).

I had to untangle the wires of my entertainment system first.
I had to clean the grout in the shower.

Fawcett Amateur Astronomy Handbook, 1960.
At the start of 1960 only 5 man-made satellites had successful missions. Now, it's likely that more than that are launched in a day! Get this & see the stars yourself before too much space junk blocks the view!
7/11/23 Open 6-9p. No open containers, please.

Sorry Peter, but when I reached the second star to the right I took a wrong turn.
