Happy Birthday, Douglas. Hope all is well for you!

Happy Birthday, Doug! Have a great day.

Un jour, ton prince viendra!

I wonder if Al would like to spend a year in Karyl's doghouse?

Enjoyed watching and listening to Joe for many years. RIP.

I can't say that no amount of dust that can accumulate in a couple of year can do harm. If you dust it regularly and open it up to vacuum it once a year (or two), I believe that no harm would come to it. I'd use the cover as I'm too lazy to do the dusting and vacuuming.

Shelly, my idea was that you'd put your BHSE on the top shelf and acquire the cloth cover of your choice. I'd just use a large enough cotton towel but you could choose whatever suits you. When the BHSE is on, the cover is off. When you are done listening to the BHSE, let the tubes cool a bit. I'd think that 5 minutes would be enough. Then dust the BHSE and cover with the cloth until the next listening session. This solution is simple, effective and easy to execute.

Shelly, if you get a cover, can't you just put your BHSE on the top shelf of your Sanus stand? That seems like the easiest solution to me.

I always thought that the Globemaster looked ungainly.

Happy Birthday, Al. Make it a great one!

I used to love watching Fireball XL5. Rip Sylvia.

It sure looks good.

Indeed, I'll be following suit soon.

RIP Keith Emerson.

Happy Birthday, Laura. Have a great day!

Very nice work as usual, Doug. I agree that making only bespoke products makes lots of sense for you.

RIP Sir Martin and thanks for all the music.

Good luck with both school and mentoring.

Happy Birthday, Bonnie!

I won't comment on the legality of this situation other than to say that LEOs should enforce the law as it is, not as they think it should be. What's more important is the safety issues of riding two abreast. Riding a bicycle on streets shared with automobiles and other powered vehicles is extremely dangerous in the best case. Riding two abreast makes it even more dangerous. The inside rider is more exposed to traffic and, being side-by-side, has little room for escape. Thinking that it's OK to ride two abreast because it's legal to do so is passing off some of the responsibility of being safe to other motorists, etc. This is a terrible riding strategy. If you ride, please take responsibility for your safety. Don't leave it to strangers in cars, etc. Please note that this is my opinion, YMMV.

Happy Birthday, Nate! Make your day wonderful!

Happy Birthday, Craig. Hope you had a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday, Naaman. Enjoy your day!

Are you talking about the name or the finished product?

Just caught this on NPR today. RIP Renato Bialetti, inventor of the Moka Espresso maker. Here is an article about him in the NY Times.
