A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

On a bird-related note, I took up some recommendations from you all, from a few weeks back... I visited the Audubon center in New Jersey (Scherman Hoffman) and used the Song Sleuth app to identify a bunch of birds. It made for such a pleasant, lovely day. Highly recommended, and I can't wait to get a pair of binoculars and go back during migration season.

With the help of using the Song Sleuth app, I realized that the hawk I thought I was hearing near me in central Brooklyn is actually a blue jay impersonating one. At the Audubon center I was able to hear a blue jay and a hawk screaming at each other (hah), the difference is subtle...

Audiobook recommendation: "Sigh, Gone" by Phuc Tran, a memoir of being an immigrant kid in PA in the 80s. If you're having trouble paying attention due to quarantine brain, this is good, since it's a series of funny, sad episodic segments, well-told, but also all connected. Great narration.

@WoodsOfNH: There was a gallery exhibit in 2003 called the "LP show'. Musicians and artists put together album covers. Christian Marclay used "whipped cream and other delights" and other album covers that copied/parodied it to make a pixelated image of the original album cover from afar. (there were scores of non-Herb Alpert covers used, many I've never seen since....

Native of Portugal, here. "D" is "D." no matter what. Brazilian Portuguese has heavy African influence in the spoken language. So, difference is mostly about phonetics, not structure. Basically, it's Portuguese with some jazz added to the mix, making it a bit more melodic....and less rigid.
