Memorial Day
It’s a time for recollection, not celebration.
Like the 4th of July, too many of our holidays have lost their meaning, becoming just an excuse for partying and a three-day weekend. When you grill your meat, think of those who lost so many holidays so that you could have yours.

Light Posting
Yes, it’s a busy space-conference week in LA. I was at the Space Tourism Conference on Wednesday, and ISDC yesterday and today. And tomorrow. And Sunday.
Open thread in comments.

Art That’s Just For Me
Thoughts on AI creations, from Lileks.
Bluegrass Flatpicking Master Class

Gary Sinise
A touching tribute to his lost son. I wish that he’d have run for governor. One of the really good guys in Hollywood.
On The Road Again
We’re heading back to California from Golden this morning, spending the night in Mesquite, NV (which we’ve never done before, so that will be mildly interesting). Probably back in LA early tomorrow afternoon (we have to return the rental by 4:30). More anon.
