John Mayall's The Turning Point was a favorite record of our older brother's. Which meant it was a favorite for us kids too. Because we snuck listens to our brother's records. Many thanks for the music, John. Rest In Harp,

Bad Signs
Howdy, I first started writing these posts on heyheyrenee.com in 2017, when I noticed people getting the peace sign wrong - using the Mercedes logo. For me, this foretold a bad sign. Today, Cory Doctorow calls it enshittification. The June 30 2019 was the biggest offender – until today. Today
