The mask thing here in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley is sad. It’s an order from the governor that face covering is required inside public spaces but good luck in supermarkets. No enforcement. A third of the people aren’t wearing them. I don’t blame the staff because why risk a confrontation for crummy pay. Just tell people they won’t be allowed to check out without a mask on. Then they risk shoplifting charges and you know the stores will be happy to enforce that and so will the cops.

Temporary duty travel (TDY), also known as "temporary additional duty" (TAD) in the Navy and Marine Corps or TDI for "temporary duty under instruction”, is a United States Armed Forces Service member's or Department of Defense civilian employee's travel or other assignment at a location other than the traveler's permanent duty station as authorized by the Joint Travel Regulations. This type of secondment is usually of relatively short duration, typically from two days to 189 days in length. Not all agencies use this designation.


Temporary duty and rotation for US troops during World War II
Temporary duty assignments usually come with per diem pay, covering lodging, meals, and incidental expenses.[1] Many employees value the per diem aspect of a TDY, since that money is guaranteed, even if they spend less than their allotted daily value. However, most agencies handle the lodging per diem separately from the meals and incidentals, and employees may not make money by staying at cheaper accommodations, or putting more than one person in a room.

First paragraph of the 1991 2d Circuit opinion that pretty much concluded the "My Sweet Lord" litigation:

Bright Tunes Music Corporation (Bright Tunes) held the copyright to a song entitled “He's So Fine” (HSF) composed by Ronald Mack. George Harrison, a former member of the musical group “The Beatles,” had authored a song called “My Sweet Lord” (MSL). In 1971 Bright Tunes sued Harrison claiming that his song infringed the copyright of Mack's song. A trial court in 1976 agreed. Today, over 15 years later, the damages issue flowing from this infringement is still being litigated, giving true-meaning for those involved to the title of the Beatles' “It's Been a Hard Day's Night.” Subsequent to the determinations to be made on the remand hereby directed, we fully expect the curtain to fall on this long-playing litigation.

Always loved Jerome's guitar tone on that record - Sounds like a Strat plugged direct into the board, dry as a bone. Very similar if not the same tone and style that helped make Nile Rodgers a legend

I make ice cream with coconut milk as the base. Super easy to throw together, as you just combine the milk, sugar, and a little starch on the stove, let it chill fully, and then freeze. It’s and quite tasty. I’ve made lemon (with lemon juice and limoncello) and caramel nut so far this season....

@clarke: Five kinds of cider! Two kinds of beer! Bloody Mary mix! Also limes, lemons, oranges, tomatoes, dried chiles, olives, cheese. And the guys in the beer aisle gave us two lager glasses that the distributor must have given them. The beer aisle: happiest place on earth!

Loved what I caught of the interview, Michael!

"Back in the day," I picked up South's "Games People Play" LP dirt cheap just to get "Hush" -- what a nice surprise to hear so many strong tracks!

Does your brewery have any East Coast distribution, Corey?

@Handy In the early days of COVID we'd burn through citrus and then are left with unbalanced cocktails until the next grocery run. I know, small problems. Now we stock up.

No distribution yet, but canning in August. We're friends with the guys at Threes Brewing, so might make our way to their cooler at some point.
