Interlude

I'm in need of a non-political, non-astrological interlude today. I remember, long, long ago and far away, at the cinema, when watching a double bill - common in those days - there'd be an interlude between films when a vendor would move along the aisles with trays of little tubs of ice cream and at the same time, magically, a lighted organ would suddenly erupt from below the screen, with organist playing a jaunty selection of tunes, to accompany the quiet slurps of folk scoffing their ice creams. This'll have to do in place of such delights today, y'all will have to imagine the ice cream vendor though.

I didn't go to the movies much as a kid. The Saturday matinees had intermissions with short films or cartoons:

Wunderbar! This is what happens in my head when I focus on classical motifs.
Nep rising square venus cnj Uranus. All is madness, with Jazz and Indian ragas to boot.

mike (again) ~ Haven't felt one yet down here, I think we're in the 1% or 1-2% area according to the map. You'd think they'd be a bit more circumspect about their activities, considering the risks everyone already faces, here in tornado alley. GREED!

I was going to post some music for you to listen to but you beat me to it.

The correction I was going to make was a typo listing the margin for Americans Abroad as being 48 when it was 38..My posting problems may have to do with this computer I am using and not the site. I don't know..

I might have an explanation for why my charts show best for Hillary at the convention but best for Bernie at election time. Possible connection to ongoing investigation. Most likely change second and third weeks of August. More to come.

Bob ~ Thanks for the music! I've now added a note at the end of the relevant comment thread to correct the typo.

We shall see - Hillary was, for sure, going to be the favoured one at the Convention, always having been President-in-Waiting as far as the DNC is concerned. It'll take something of earthquake proportions to shift that perception - but Bernie might do it!
