It was implied.

Quote

“It’s a really weird reproductive strategy, but bats are weird and have a lot of weird reproductive strategies,” said Patty Brennan, a biologist at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts

This is obviously the best quote I'm gonna read today. Or maybe all week.

I never knew it, but evidently millennials (and Gen Z) have "invented" mortadella AND the charcuterie board!

Seriously, I also recently learned that the song I have heard since 1965 as going, "It's high time  you looked right at me", really goes, "My town, my guy, and me".

I think that even my 8- or 9-year-old self didn't like to see Lesley Gore abase herself (not that I'm sure I even knew it was Lesley Gore) (which is embarrassing, as I'm a fan).

I wonder when I last listened to Astral Weeks. I do have it. I used to listen to Van Morrison a lot. Maybe I should skip Hinds for a day and try Van instead. I assume Ana isn't reading this.

I see I have nine Van Morrison CDs. I might have some vinyl too but that stuff is not in alphabetical order.
