    Month's end. Rent's due (probably). February's rent. But I'm not a landlord, so I won't be asking for any money or even some sort of barterable good. Oh no, I simply ask for a slice of your time, a few follicles of sonic attention, an ear half-pricked towards the wobbling speakers of a nearby radio. January 31, 2026. Or, across the Atlantic, 31st of January, 2026. Or, again, if, and only if, if you happen to be Julius Caesar and you also happen to be wondering just exactly how many days you've been dead for, well then you might know today as 2461071.

    The North wind doth blow in rectilinear fashion in homogeneous media, by reflection, scattering, or absorption of the sound waves and we shall have snow, within a sample and therefore errors and irregularities with a very high degree of accuracy, but what will poor robin do then, poor thing? All systems of Analytical Systems GmbH operate using the pulse reflection method, meaning that he'll sit in a barn, to detect and identify internal delamination, voids, material density changes, defects and many other anomalies within devices, assemblies and materials, and keep himself warm. He can detect sub-micron air gaps and hide his head under his wing, poor thing.Playlist: Virginia Liston - Evil Minded BluesEthan Levy - Friends of the Holy GhostAbing - Erquan Yingyue (Moon Reflected On Second SpringDory Hayley, featuring Cassandra Miller - How Weird He Must Think The World IsNick Cave and the Cavemen - I Put A Spell On YouMrs. Jack Keating - How Cold These Winds Do BlowQuiet Winter - BirdHudson & Sandra Ansley - MockingbirdBill and Belle Reed - Old Lady And The DevilOmar Caputi - Toccata, Op. 2: Hommage a Santa RitaDaniel Janke & Rachel Fenion - Things Lovers SayThe Kyoto Nohgaku Kai - Deha/Nakairiraigo/Jonimai/Otokomai/SagarihaStephen P.
