This board is fascinating to read. For 16 years I couldn't use a tape measure in sight of my Siamese cat, who attacked the thing no matter how I scolded him. Last Nov my friend died, yet I still look around when I reach for the tape measure. Always will, with a sad smile, I guess. Reply #18041. May 08 18, 6:30 AM |

From The New York Times I Went Naked to a Museum, and It Was … Revealing By Thomas Rogers, May 7, 2018 PARIS — The most uncomfortable thing about being naked in a museum, it turns out, is the temperature. A half-hour into the first nudist tour of the Palais de Tokyo, a contemporary art museum in Paris, I had gotten used to the feeling of exposure, but I hadn’t acclimatized to the cold air circulating through the cavernous galleries. Standing in a politically themed exhibition by the French-Algerian artist Neïl Beloufa, I began shaking my arms for warmth. Museums, I was discovering, are not temperature-controlled for people wearing only sneakers. In drawing this conclusion, it seemed, I wasn’t alone. Jacqueline Bohain, a 65-year-old retiree who had taken an eight-hour bus trip from the Alsace region of eastern France to attend the event on Saturday, tried to warm herself in a sliver of sunlight. Other members of the group jiggled around to heat up. “Maybe we should walk around the corner, so we can stand in the sun,” Marion Buchloh-Kollerbohm, the tour guide, suggested, and maneuvered us to another area of the exhibition. The Palais de Tokyo’s “Visite Naturiste” — the first of its kind in France — has garnered a remarkable amount of public interest since it was announced in March. Over 30,000 people indicated on Facebook that they were interested in the tour, and, according to Laurent Luft, 48, the president of the Paris Naturist Association, more than two million people visited the group’s Facebook page in recent weeks. Contemplating pieces in the exhibition on Saturday. “I am hoping the experience of leaving their clothes at the door will help them leave some part of their identity with it, and experience it with more openness,” a tour guide said of visitors’ interactions with the art. “I was imagining about 100 or 200 people might want to come, not 30,000,” he said in a telephone interview before the tour. At 10 a.m., I joined the 161 people who had managed to get one of the limited tickets, and we undressed in an ad hoc changing room on the second floor of the museum. For the next two hours, we took part in one of six tours by (clothed) museum guides of “Discord, Daughter of the Night,” a series of exhibitions spread across the museum, which is the largest in France for the presentation of contemporary art. The shows consist of one large, suspended sculpture and five separately curated but thematically related exhibitions in different parts of the museum, dealing mostly with issues of political strife and resistance.

I am a high school teacher. Today I was told (at the last minute) that I would be administering the state tests to two groups of students--one in the morning and one after lunch. (Here in Maryland, as in many other places, there are quite a few tests the students need to take). With each group, they completed the tests online. Each test had two 45-minute sections and I gave the students a code to open each section. Once the students were complete with the second portion of the test they could return to class. The second group of students was rather trying. Many of them were finished with the first part well before the 45-minute mark and asked for the code for the second part of the test. I had to repeat several times that I was supposed to wait until the 45-minutes were concluded. Once the students received the second code, many of them were done with the second part of the test in 15 minutes. I think it unlikely that many of the students did well when they finished so quickly. I get that the tests are boring and excessive, but I wish the students would realize that the tests will be even more boring when they need to retake them next year. I suppose that some students finished so quickly because they were so overwhelmed by the test and/or were not able to comprehend questions, etc. Most of the students just wanted to get out of the test. I don't know if there is much of a story here but I feel better because I had a chance to type this out. Reply #18044. May 08 18, 12:13 PM |

Oh the life of a gentleman farmer. John Deere ZTR lost its mind, fried the engine. What woe, no go. Had to bite the bullet and buy a new one. Grass won't stop growing, had to get busy mowing. Reply #18048. May 08 18, 8:25 PM |

My local minor league hockey team,the Fort Wayne Komets scored a huge victory tonight,eliminating our fierce rival the Toledo Walleye 4-2.They win the series 4 games to 2.This will put them in the Conference finals for the first time since they joined the ECHL.It was great to see them finally get past Toledo,who had put them out of the playoffs every time they had played them until tonight.The Coliseum was loud and proud tonight and will be again next week when the guys get back from Colorado, hopefully with at least a split of the first two games out there on Saturday and Sunday.

Thankful for warmer weather in our area. Watched my great grandson play baseball last evening. He played well and had good hits. We are scheduled to see a great grand daughter on Saturday preform in gymnastics. She is only 4 yr. old. Reply #18056. May 09 18, 1:48 PM |
