Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT). First published in 1983, the TToT has been the preeminent Grat blog since arriving on the scene. And, as you’re sure to guess, this week’s TToT is a celebration of the moving-threshold-of-a-body’s-capabilities. To move stuff. And, as Mimi confirmed, we’re almost ready to submit a paper in support of the under-reported fact that the earth’s gravitational field has not only increased in what amounts to the blink-of-an-eye (geological time) but has also directly altered the density of certain parts of the earth such as flooring (op. cit. mimi 5/2023) while paradoxically-decreasing the density of certain others, i.e. soles of the feet, and the latissimus dorsi (et. al.)
Theses are interesting times.*

Yes. “Interesting times”.
Cool air indoors in the summer. A delight but that must be a pain in the you know what to install. Heavy and how….don’t even tell me.* Enjoy!
One of my favorite CSN songs. Wayback machine to Providence Civic Center July, 1978. I’ll skip details leading up to myself and (what was his name?!?) late to the concert for having engaged in a now legal activity of altering one’s consciousness, literally running into the Providence Civic center, down whatever row on the floor we should have been sitting in at about 2:35 into Cathedral, “high upon the alter”. Harmonies just as phenomenal live. Epiphany, I tell you.
As always, a TY for links.
*chair – why does that sound dangerous, lol

Having installed them before, you have my admiration.
:}
Thank you for the air conditioning.
If you are going to have a bedroom picture on the web – that one is the best.
Thank you.
I’m glad the installation of the a/c went well. Maybe you could go give Dyanne a hand with hers?
lol
Thanks for the mention, Clark
no problem*
