aww, the disappointment
Awesome
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said during a news conference Saturday that New York is sending 1 million N95 respirator masks to New York City as Covid-19 confirmed cases have surpassed 10,300 across the state.
There better be some awesome songs and movies coming out of this COVID-19 nightmare.
Boy, it is truly terrifying.

A feast of enchanting, beautiful simplicity. Watercolors of fruits.

whoaRunning A Tightrope: A Year On The Road in Asia
A graphic account of life in Asia as experienced by an American ex-pat traveling between Afghanistan and India preceding and subsequent to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in December, 1979. With little left to the imagination, the author provides an intimate glimpse into a lifestyle few in the West can begin to imagine.. a lifestyle shared by many at the time traversing the "hippie trail" from Istanbul to Kathmandu as well as Goa.
The story begins in Kabul, and continues on to India and the sun splashed beaches of Goa, a former Portuguese colony south of present day Mumbai (Bombay) with a dazzling array of characters engaged in a variety of activities, some legal and others not. Based on a true story, the author writes from an experienced perspective, looking back at all that fascinated itinerant travelers over time, both contemporary members of his peer group as well as more renowned historic figures from the past.

Some fabulous local music to go along with Thomas Cole's book
Indian Mogul Builds His Own White House Atop a Skyscraper
The Indian city of Bangalore is home to one of the most lavish, over-the-top luxury mansions in the world – a replica of the White House built atop a skyscraper.
Vijay Mallya, the chairman of United Breweries Group, has always been one of India’s most flamboyant tycoons, but in 2010, when he announced plans to have a mansion modelled after the White House built atop a luxury skyscraper in Bangalore, people thought it was too much, even for him. He didn’t let that deter him from building his dream home, and by 2016, his mansion atop Kingfisher Tower in the heart of Bangalore City was taking shape. Unfortunately, by that time his financial woes were the talk of India, and it wasn’t long before he fled the country for the UK, leaving his dream home unfinished.

Hundreds of pages of sublimely simple paintings of fruits. Beautiful.
Here is one. A bael fruit. Huh. I'd never heard of that, though I lived in India for 10 years. Had to look it up.
Love his eyes as he tasted the fruit.
