I love the look of a lake front with the forever look. Or... maybe tips of mountains on the horizon. Kinda Middle Earth.

Fox News Christmas Tree Fire Wasn't Politically Motivated | The Debt Ceiling Shouldn't Be A Thing
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Friends at Fox News who are reeling from the loss of their "holiday tree" after a suspected arson last night. Down in Washington, Congress is once again threatening to destroy the world economy by playing games with America's nonsensical debt ceiling.

This will be big news to some here! See the medical news isn't all bad, major strides have been made treating paralysis and Alzheimer's too. Some here might be able to ditch the reading glasses in the new year.

New FDA-approved eye drops could replace reading glasses for millions: "It's definitely a life changer"
A newly approved eye drop hitting the market on Thursday could change the lives of millions of Americans with age-related blurred near vision, a condition affecting mostly people 40 and older.
Vuity, which was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in October, would potentially replace reading glasses for some of the 128 million Americans who have trouble seeing close-up. The new medicine takes effect in about 15 minutes, with one drop on each eye providing sharper vision for six to 10 hours, according to the company.
Toni Wright, one of the 750 participants in a clinical trial to test the drug, said she liked what she saw.
"It's definitely a life changer," Wright told CBS News national correspondent Jericka Duncan.
Before the trial, the only way Wright could see things clearly was by keeping reading glasses everywhere — in her office, bathroom, kitchen and car.
"I was in denial because to me that was a sign of growing older, you know, needing to wear glasses," she said.
It was in 2019 that her doctor told her about a new eye drop with the potential to correct her vision problems, temporarily. The 54-year-old online retail consultant, who works from her farm in western Pennsylvania, instantly noticed a difference.
"I would not need my readers as much, especially on the computer, where I would always need to have them on," she said.
Vuity is the first FDA-approved eye drop to treat age-related blurry near vision, also known as presbyopia. The prescription drug utilizes the eye's natural ability to reduce its pupil size, said Dr. George Waring, the principal investigator for the trial.
"Reducing the pupil size expands the depth of field or the depth of focus, and that allows you to focus at different ranges naturally," he said.
A 30-day supply of the drug will cost about $80 and works best in people 40 to 55 years old, a Vuity spokesperson said. Side effects detected in the three-month trial included headaches and red eyes, the company said.
"This is something that we anticipate will be well tolerated long term, but this will be evaluated and studied in a formal capacity," Waring said.
Vuity is by no means a cure-all, and the maker does caution against using the drops when driving at night or performing activities in low-light conditions. The drops are for mild to intermediate cases and are less effective after age 65, as eyes age. Users may also have temporary difficulty in adjusting focus between objects near and far.
As of now, the drug is not covered by insurance. Doctors who spoke with CBS News said it's unlikely that insurance will ever cover it because it's not "medically necessary," as glasses are still a less expensive alternative.
For Wright and millions just like her, the new drug is an easy backup solution — with a clear advantage.
"Just a convenience to have that option of putting the drops in and being able to go," she said.

And my last camp night, the local PBS channel's fund raising was best of big bands.
They do have some good stuff at fund raising time, but I hate that my regular programs are not on.

i don't really know where to put this, so I'm putting it here.
My favorite Monkee, Michael Nesmith at age 78 (good for him) passed away yesterday which is very sad for sure
But to balance the sad, or even overpower it, just think of all the Monkees songs that make/made you happy
Please contribute your favorite Monkees song.
I'm going with a pure Nesmith song that I fucking LOVE!!!

Yea, I know it's Politics & this is a song, but I have proof, unsubstantiated proof though, but who really fucking cares
,If it's true or not, it's the thought that counts,, or lack of thinking which in the US that seems to be the norm.
So If Trump & the GOP can do it and get away with it, I'm going for it.
Prove me wrong
Go ahead
I dare you!!! (I know some dumbfuck will try )
Anyway, this guy is a Democrat & voted for Biden so it's political
Thank you very much, indeed
So, let's play this political song written by Bob Dylan, which was ripped off by Hendrix, who definitely is better known for it, but Mason blows it up here
Best rendition ever?
I think so.
