A gong every hour and 76 or so trombones, tubas, kazoos

I can't find any mention of what piece this is or who wrote it.

But it's a nice chunk of music.

As for the title:

1. There is a meme going around Twitter / X about tuba players who show up every day at Trump tower and serenade #OrangeFoolius as he comes and goes from court. #DonSnoreleone reportedly hates it. Readers want video. The whole thing MAY be satire, but I think NY's best kazoo talent rendering Hail to the Chief every morning and evening would be just the thing.

2. All the anti mayhem pro Palestine protests going on around the country take me back sort of sentimentally to the overnight protest we had late in senior year about divestment from countries doing business in South Africa. That part of the protest lasted only a couple nights. There is a bell that tolls every hour on the hour. Enough said.


4.1 hours of sleep.

Food schedule is a little messed up and will be messed up again tomorrow because of an all-day event. COOL event. I should find a way to get paid somehow, but brain is full and now I am alternately writing a relevant blog post and getting my news fix about #SCOTUS, protests, and wars. 

Also cat videos: world record cat litter is 15 alive and 4 stillborn. One voice on Twitter / X pointed out that #SCOTUS decided women do not have rights to their own bodies and at the same time wants to let one old loony white guy shred the Constitution. I exaggerate, probably.

Holy Cow. Almost 9 hours of sleep. The extravagant luxury of going back to bed and not even trying to do anything after 5.9 hours of sleep. Going to bed at a reasonable hour because of not wanting to compute in the computer lab with no AC helped.  I decided I needed to get up and eat a real breakfast after a dream involving my certainty that I needed to take a shower in a tiny restroom near a big event of some kind and then enjoying a lot of food that I found tasty and it was not clear whether others realized it was available. I probably can go all kinds of places with that. Computer lab has AC. Room where digital equity team works does not. There is some kind of switching mystery that not even one of the very wise SHA HVAC experts can solve. Nice to see the computer lab space in use. And for exercise I will ride under desk bike to nowhere for awhile at an hour too late to be a good idea. Also I MUST scrub floor and wrangle refrigerator life forms. Count how many days I say that be...

About six hours of sleep. I should have gone back to bed. CPAP is a little bit of a workout but I think that will settle down. Mom's tree after all the presents were unwrapped Christmas with the fam went brilliantly.  First there was a chauffeur schedule that left me time to talk to Mom about latest non-locating of my brother while nephew fetched his parents. We did snack food and did not even attempt anything complex in Mom's "one-butt kitchen" Little Sister brought Little Smokies, one pan in a sauce I did not expect to tolerate made of commercial BBQ sauce and grape jelly. Little sister brought rolls and fruit salad. I brought crackers, cream cheese, beet chips and celery the latter of which I think I was the only one eating. So the rest of the bunch gets sauted and frozen for soup.  I brought yams to microwave if anyone wanted but kitchen logistics clobbered that. And we finished with mandarins and no one even wanted cookies and ice cream. Mostly I am SO GLAD Mom d...
