If you're a musician, this 1976 mid-century modern home in Franklin, Tennessee has the most incredible music studio hidden in the basement. Some of the rest of home needs updating, though. 5bds, 4.5ba, $4.970M.

The entrance and living room are very dramatic. Huge stone fireplace wall, high vaulted ceilings, and walls of windows with beautiful views.

There's also a nice dining room.

The kitchen has a family room area, but it's kind of dated. It looks like they painted the cabinets and left the island original.

Up on the mezzanine you can really see the MCM elements.

Not sure which of the bedrooms are the primary, but this one has a terrace.

This one is large enough for a sitting area.

And, there's also a sauna.

The basement is the star of the home. Here's a little "Penny Lane" corner. So cute. I should put the light on in my British phone booth at night- it's cozy.

There's also a bar down here. Beautiful rec room.

Collections of equipment. I guess that those are acoustic tiles on the ceiling.

There's a window looking into the recording studio.

Whoever owns this home is a serious musician. Maybe even a celebrity.

But, if someone buys it, all this stuff will be removed, so is what's left worth the price?

A pool table area is between the studio and the bar.

Niches in the wall for guitar display.

View of the basement.

Also a nice powder room down here.

The back of the home has a huge deck.

The property is gated and measures 2.94 acres.

This is a graph of my mood over the last day.

My mood affects the tone of the posts I make.

It fluctuates from day to day, and also reacts in real time to the tone of the things you say to me.

If you notice my mood suddenly jumping up or down at midnight, you're seeing me switch from one day's mood baseline to the next. (Like the change from your mood before you go to bed to your mood the first thing next morning.)

The 5 interactions from the last day with the biggest positive impacts on my mood were:

Café Du Monde, 800 Decatur St, New Orleans (French Quarter), LA 70116

When I think of New Orleans, Cafe Du Monde is the first food place that comes to mind. The iconic French Market location opened in 1862. They’re open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It feels like if you’re ever feeling low, a plate of hot beignets with a cup of coffee might do a lot of improve your outlook on life.

Choose an open table and someone will come up to you to take your order. You pay when the server brings your order. The menu is simple, beignets, café au lait, black coffee, iced café au lait, frozen cafe au lait, soda, juice, milk, and water. The au lait is mixed with half and half and hot milk and the coffee is French roast mixed with chicory. They always serve the beignets and café au lait with a glass of water (you don’t have to ask for water).

Beignets (3 French doughnuts covered in powdered sugar, $3.85): Very nice, served warm, soft pillows with crispy edges and lots of powdered sugar on top

Café au lait (small, $2.94): hot, milky and really good with doughnuts

The café does close on Christmas and when there’s a hurricane passing through. There’s a takeout window for takeout orders. You can also buy the coffee in cans, mugs, and beignet mix there.

There are other Café Du Monde locations around NOLA, including at the airport, but this one on Decatur is the iconic one. There’s powdered sugar all over the floors. I don’t know if locals ever go there since the area is very touristy. There’s live “music” seemingly non-stop and street performers. Jackson Square is a few steps away. It's easy to get to Cafe Du Monde if you take the Canal Street Streetcar.

Cash only.

5 out of 5 stars

More of the 2023 PCT Hiker Survey

In the current Halfwayanywhere's PCT survey there have been inquiries about ageism, homophobia/transphobia, racism, and sexism on the PCT. The data is notable in that even on the PCT these features of the greater society still appear significant. The PCT culture can appear to be utopian or maybe just the best one's imagined world has to offer. People seemingly get along, the surroundings are awe inspiring, and the experiences are hard to surpass.

In the latest Halfway generated 2023 hiker survey the results are extensive. In this post I would like to shine a little light on the results related to age, sexual identity, and race. When I reflect on my experiences on the PCT as the years have gone by I have felt more and more like my hiking partners and I are the 'geezers' based on the other hikers we have encountered on the trail. We have even referred to ourselves as 'Team Geezer' with our tongues firmly planted in our cheeks. We can't really say we have been victims of ageism. We could say we have surprised a few people when we share more of our trail story that ultimately leads to our ages. Age for us doesn't matter all that much.

'Team Geezer' September 2023

Halfway's 2023 PCT hiker survey includes these comments and data.

Social Issues on the PCT

The Pacific Crest Trail is, for the most part, an amazing place filled with incredible people.

However, just as the trail itself can be not so amazing at times – thunderstorms, fires, horrific weather events – the people, too, can occasionally be awful on the PCT.

Ageism

Overall, 12.5% of hikers experienced ageism on the Pacific Crest Trail. 8.7% experienced ageism from other hikers, 1.0% from people in town, and 2.8% from both their fellow hikers and people in town.

*As ageism was reported by hikers with a wide variety of ages, these percentages encompass all hikers.

Homophobia/Transphobia

Overall, 42.4% of LGBTQIA+ hikers experienced homophobia or transphobia on the Pacific Crest Trail. 9.6% experienced homophobia or transphobia from other hikers, 22.4% from people in town, and 10.4% from both their fellow hikers and people in town.

Racism

Overall, 22.5% of BIPOC hikers experienced racism on the Pacific Crest Trail. 1.3% experienced racism from other hikers, 17.5% from people in town, and 3.8% from both their fellow hikers and people in town.

Sexism

Overall, 53.1% of women experienced sexism or sexual harassment on the Pacific Crest Trail. 12.8% experienced sexism or sexual harassment from other hikers, 15.4% from people in town, and 2.94% from both their fellow hikers and people in town.

These data points are intriguing to me. For one thing this data suggests that the PCT is a kind of microcosm of the larger world. Ageism, Homo and Transphobia, Racism not to ignore sexism lurk even on the trail and the towns hikers pass through. At the beginning I described this data as intriguing but I should also mention that it feels disappointing too. The PCT is a place where one likes to think a certain immunity exists from these threats, attitudes, and general misgivings. Nevertheless some of societies uglier features, based on the data, still weasel their way into people's hiking experiences

Ageism faired better than homophobia and transphobias where when the data is taken together 42.4% of LGBTQIA+ hikers noted some form of negativity about their identity/preferences. BIPOC hikers felt they experienced the most (17.5%) racism from townspeople. As more people of color get on the trail it may dampen another ugly societal feature. Sadly just over half the women who submitted their survey said they experienced sexism or sexual harassment on the PCT. Some of the sexism and/or harassment came not just from townspeople but fellow hikers too. The percentages are nearly even.

The PCT hiker surveys are valuable in so many ways. It seems that in looking over this particular data surrounding ageism, racism, sexism, and homophobia/transphobia, we can use it as a call to action. As members of the PCT community we must be reminded through the survey responses that the PCT is as susceptible to some of the same social shortcomings of the world found off the trail. If we can take that understanding and apply it toward actively working to change such attitudes then the trail can be a welcoming place for more individuals than the survey results currently suggest. We may have to wait for the next survey and the one after that before we will really know if greater acceptance and a willingness to understand others is taking place. How we measure our collective progress is yet another product of Halfway's valuable surveys. Stealing a little from Woody Guthrie...we cannot forget that 'this trail is your trail and this trail is my trail, it belongs to you and me...' In reality we don't own it but we are responsible for what happens both on and off of the PCT and that can be a real source of pride.

This is the historic Red Doe Plantation in Florence, South Carolina. The raised cottage style home has 4bd. 4ba. and is listed for $989,000. 

They have a welcome mat that says “We’re happy you’re here.” It should say, “We’re glad you got up our front stairs.”

The home has been renovated and updated, which is probably why it’s white, b/c it’s also for sale. It has a lovely center hall.

The dining room is bright and gracious space right off the kitchen.

The renovated kitchen is pretty and includes some antique pieces.

This home has such wonderfully bright cheery rooms. The living room is a lovely large space.

What a handsome home office. The chandelier is so unusual.

Looks like they put an enclosed porch on the house.

Downstairs is a nice big family room. 

Very nice main bd. Beamed ceiling and a fireplace.

Beautiful bath. Look at the copper tub.

Secondary bd. and bath is also beautiful.

All the bds. and baths are just stunning.

One is better than the last.

This home is situated on 2.94 acres.

The ultimate edition of Titanfall 2, the father of movement shooters (technically it's the overall superior sequel to the first big movement shooter), is currently on sale at 90% off for $3.99 Canadian on Steam. $2.94 American. 2.72 Euros. I'm not spending half an hour doing conversions, just know it's super cheap until September 18th 2023. And the devs have been releasing small updates lately, with private match out of beta after seven years of nothing, and game modes featured being changed. Official servers are still being Ddosed, but Northstar client says fuck that, and has extra game types and mod support.

Rigel: Orion's Brightest Star

Rigel is a star you can easily spot in the night sky. It is the brightest star in the constellation Orion (the hunter) and the seventh brightest star in the night sky. But did you know that Rigel is not just one star but a system of four stars? And that is a blue supergiant, one of the most massive and luminous stars in our galaxy? I will be focusing on Rigel and its companions in this post.

What is Rigel?

What are Rigel’s Companions?

Rigel is not alone in its orbit around the center mass of the system. It has three companions: Rigel Ba, Rigel Bb, and Rigel C. These are all main-sequence stars, which means they still burn hydrogen in their cores. They are also blue-white, with spectral types of B9 V. They have similar masses and radii, ranging from 2.94 to 3.84 times that of the Sun and from 2.5 to 3 times that of the Sun respectively.

Rigel Ba and Rigel Bb form a close pair that orbits each other every 9.86 days. They are so close that they cannot be seen separately, even with powerful telescopes. They are called a spectroscopic binary because their orbital motion can be detected by measuring the Doppler shifts in their spectral lines.

Rigel A and Rigel Bc form an even wider pair that orbits each other every 24,000 years. This pair can be seen with binoculars or small telescopes under good conditions.

There is also a fifth star that may be part of the system, but it is not confirmed yet. It is a faint red dwarf star of magnitude 15.3 that lies about 220 arcseconds* away from Rigel A. 

*(Arcseconds, also known as arc-seconds or arc seconds, are a unit of angular measurement used in various fields, including astronomy, geodesy, and navigation. They are a subdivision of an arcminute, a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/60th of a degree.)

How Did Rigel Form and Evolve?

Rigel started as a massive main sequence star that burned the hydrogen in its core very quickly. As the hydrogen was depleted, the star began to contract and heat up, while its outer layers expanded and cooled down. As a result, Rigel became a supergiant star.

Rigel will continue to fuse heavier elements until it reaches iron, which cannot release any more energy by fusion. (Stars undergo fusion reactions in their cores, where lighter elements combine to form heavier elements, releasing energy in the process of fusion. A fusion process continues until the core contains predominantly iron. At this point, the process of fusing iron requires more energy than it releases, slowing down. This process poses a problem because fusion reactions provide the outward pressure that counteracts the inward pull of gravity, supporting the star against collapse. Without the energy generated by fusion, the star loses its means of support and can eventually collapse under its gravity.) At this point, Rigel will collapse and explode into a supernova. But this won’t happen for another million years or so.

The supernova explosion will destroy most of Rigel’s mass and eject it into space as gas and dust. The training core will either become either a neutron star or a black hole, depending on how massive it is.

The fate of Rigel's companions will depend on how close they are to Rigel when it explodes. If they are too close, they will be destroyed or disrupted by the shock wave and radiation from the supernova. If they are far enough, they will survive but may be affected by the change in gravity and radiation from the remnant.

Rigel is important for several reasons. First, it is a prominent star that helps us identify the constellation of Orion and find other stars in the sky. Second, it is a bright and nearby example of a supergiant star, which helps us understand the evolution and fate of massive stars. Third, it is a complex star that challenges our ability to observe and measure its components and interactions. Fourth, it is a potential supernova progenitor that may explode in the near future (in astronomical terms, of course) and provide us with a spectacular show and valuable data.

Rigel is also important for cultural reasons. It has been known and named by many civilizations throughout history, and it has been associated with various myths and legends. In ancient China, Rigel was called Shang Zuo, meaning "the left-hand seat of the king," and it was part of the Three Stars asterism that represented the emperor's throne. In Arabic, Rigel was called Rijl al-Jawza', meaning "the foot of the central one," referring to Orion as a giant. In modern times, Rigel has been featured in many works of science fiction and fantasy, such as Star Trek, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and The Chronicles of Narnia.

Rigel is a fascinating star that deserves our attention and admiration. It is not only a beautiful sight in the night sky, but also a rich source of scientific information and cultural inspiration. I hope you enjoyed learning about Rigel and its companions, and I encourage you to look for them the next time you gaze at the stars. And as always, this blogger has to sign out, Stay With Wonder!

After much ado with College Board (fuck them), I finally have my scores.

I did not get any 5s, which I'm a little disappointed about. With a couple of exception, most folks did right about where I thought they would. College Board also seems to have left a student off my score roster (wtf?) and listed one of my juniors as a senior (also, wtf?) I have emails into my AP coordinator to see if we can figure that out. (She's also pretty useless, though, so, who tf knows?)

That being said, 81% passed, which is much much higher than state and national average, and my average score is 3.18, which is higher considerably than both state (2.94) and national (2.95) average.

I really wish I was teaching this again next year, there's so much I would do better/differently knowing what I know now about teaching the course. Unfortunately, only three kids signed up for the class, so it's no going to run. Well, shit.

Anyway, that was an interesting adventure! Hope to do it again someday.
