Podcasts about meandering

As this podcast is about joy in the everyday, I'm bringing you deeply into what brings me joy, today. We meander through the story of my garden, and how my mother helped me build my garden and her legacy to me. A gift that keeps on giving. As I meandered, I realized how every plant has a story. Most every plant was a gift to me from someone. The lavender from my brother Steve, the hydrangea from my friend Mary, the allium from my Dad and so on. A community garden of a sort. I hope you enjoy this little window into my world, as it stands right now.

Career coach Michelle Schafer returns to the podcast, but this time, we talk to her from the seat of her expertise as a career coach. Michelle has been on the podcast twice already. Both times we explored how she faced down adversity: once as she healed from breaking her leg, the other as she hiked to Machu Picchu in Peru. And both times, she had to draw on deep inner resources to persevere.  Today, we talk about the very difficult job market people are facing. Fewer jobs, more people looking, the encroachment of tech eradicating whole sectors of work. It's tough out there. It's an exhausting environment, and resilience is that much more important.  Relationships connect us to job opportunities, and support us as we do the shift. Michelle speaks to this and so much more in our meander: what does it take to navigate through this job market, and how can we stay positive in the process? You can find her award-winning book, "Cultivating Career Growth, Navigating Transitions with Purpose" at your local independent bookstore. And you can read about it on her website. (You can also find it on Amazon.) Michelle is just a delight to chat with; her clients are well-served by her effervescent outlook on life and vast array of support to offer them in their coaching adventure.  Please drop me a line if anything piqued your interest at meanderingswithtrudy@gmail.com.

We meander far and wide this week… who are “we” when we are we? Why do we avoid community? What is it about being connected to others that we find so difficult?  There is no real answer to these questions we ask, but that's ok. As Angie says here, “It's not the answer that comes, it's the art of asking the question. And when we can do that with someone else… we find the sweet spot.” It's in the wrestle that our sense of loneliness and isolation evaporates, and we find connection, and compassion, caring and yes, community.  I hope you like this wrestle.  Please drop me a line if anything piqued your interest at meanderingswithtrudy@gmail.com.

fWotD Episode 3288: Hurricane Joaquin Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 6 May 2026, is Hurricane Joaquin.Hurricane Joaquin ( hwah-KEEN; Spanish: Huracán Joaquín [uɾaˈkaŋ xoaˈkin]) was a powerful tropical cyclone that devastated several districts of the Bahamas in early October 2015. It was also the strongest Atlantic hurricane of non-tropical origin recorded in the satellite era. The tenth named storm, third hurricane, and second major hurricane of the 2015 Atlantic hurricane season, Joaquin evolved from a non-tropical low to a tropical depression on September 28, well southwest of Bermuda. The depression drifted towards the southwest and became a tropical storm the next day. Joaquin then underwent rapid intensification, becoming a Category 4 major hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson scale on October 1. Meandering over the southern Bahamas, Joaquin's eye passed near or over several islands. On October 3, the hurricane weakened somewhat and began moving northeastwards. Abrupt re-intensification ensued later that day, and Joaquin acquired sustained winds of 155 mph (250 km/h), just below Category 5 strength.Joaquin was one of the strongest hurricanes to affect the Bahamas on record. Hurricane warnings were issued for most of the Bahamas before Joaquin reached the country's southern islands. Between October 1 and 3, Joaquin caused extensive damage on Acklins, Crooked Island, Long Island, Rum Cay, and San Salvador Island. Severe storm surge inundated many communities, trapping hundreds of people in their homes; flooding persisted for days after the hurricane's departure. Prolonged, intense winds brought down trees and power lines, and unroofed homes. Relief efforts in the wake of Joaquin were hampered by heavy damage to airstrips and flooded roads. Offshore, the American cargo ship El Faro and her 33 crew members were lost to the hurricane.Coastal flooding impacted the nearby Turks and Caicos Islands, washing out roadways, compromising seawalls, and damaging homes. Strong winds and heavy rainfall caused some property damage in eastern Cuba. In Haiti, storm tides resulted in severe flooding in several departments, forcing families from their homes and destroying crops, while large waves killed a fisherman at sea. Over the Southeastern United States, a separate storm system drew tremendous moisture from the hurricane, leading to catastrophic flooding in South Carolina. A weakened Joaquin passed just west of Bermuda on October 4, bringing strong winds that caused power outages but only minor damage. Afterwards, the hurricane accelerated eastwards into colder waters, weakening further and becoming extratropical on October 8. Its remnants reached Portugal before dissipating a week later. Across its lifetime, Joaquin killed 34 people and caused US$120 million in damage.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:55 UTC on Wednesday, 6 May 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Hurricane Joaquin on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Danielle.

In this episode of Meandering Musings, Neil talks about two very different experiences at the DMV—one frustrating and time-consuming, the other efficient and respectful. What struck Neil wasn't the people, but the systems behind them, and how those systems shape how we feel about government. It reminded him that small, everyday interactions can either build trust or quietly erode it.

In this episode of Meandering Musings, Neil Peterson recounts an unexpectedly delightful night at a women's roller derby bout in Palm Springs that turned nostalgia into admiration. What stood out wasn't just the speed and toughness of the sport, but its affordability, community spirit, and the passion of athletes skating purely for the love of the game. Neil reflects on how modern roller derby has evolved into a disciplined, strategic, and deeply human sport.

In this episode of *Meandering Musings*, Neil Peterson reflects on an unexpected first at age 82: walking into a pawn shop for the very first time. What begins as a simple attempt to sell decades‑old camcorders becomes a thoughtful exploration of assumptions, economics, and everyday human stories. Neil shares how his long‑held mental image of pawn shops—shady, cluttered, and marginal—was completely overturned by the bright, professional, and surprisingly sophisticated reality he encountered at Rocky's Pawn Shop in Indio, California. Along the way, he uncovers the quiet role pawn shops play in the financial ecosystem, particularly for small business owners using gold and silver as short‑term collateral, and reflects on the deep personal histories behind every item in the display cases. The experience becomes a gentle reminder that the world often looks very different once you step inside—and that even in your eighties, there are still firsts worth having.

Neil reflects on how age isn't just the number of candles on his birthday cake, but also how the body functions and how young you feel inside. "As I approach 82, my physiological age tests closer to 43, and emotionally I sometimes feel about six years old. For me, staying curious, playful, and engaged with life is what truly keeps me young."

Today, on the way to church, I saw two men walking on the side of the road.They weren't rushing. They didn't look like they were heading somewhere urgent. They were just walking together, slowly, like they were taking a stroll.It hit me harder than I expected.It was just two men walking. But the image felt strangely rare, almost foreign. And as I watched them I found myself asking: when was the last time I had taken a walk with a friend? Not to go to the shops. Not as part of exercise. Not on the way to some other thing. Just a walk. Just time together. Just movement and conversation without an agenda.I couldn't remember.I've been sitting with that all day. Because it put words to a feeling I've been carrying for a while, one I didn't quite know how to name until I saw those two men doing something so ordinary that it looked almost strange.Every week, I meet my friends at church, people I genuinely love. But often, when we see each other, there's this awkwardness at the start. It feels like we have to do a full life update before we can settle into each other's company. Summarize the week. Sometimes the last two weeks. Work, family, stress, random developments, whatever happened since we last saw each other. And there's this subtle distance underneath it all, because where do you even start?I don't think that awkwardness comes from a lack of love. I think it comes from a lack of overlap.We still care about each other, but we're no longer inside enough of each other's ordinary lives. We know the headlines, but not the texture. We know what happened, but we weren't there when it happened. So every reunion begins with reporting.And I think I know why.Everyone wants the village, but no one wants to be the villager.The village is built out of small inconveniencesThink about something as simple as moving house.You can hire a moving company. They arrive, they carry the boxes, they do the work, and that's that. The problem is solved. Everyone moves on.Or you can ask your friends to help.If you ask your friends, you're inconveniencing them. They have to block out a day. They have to reorder their plans around your need. They have to lift your stuff and drive home tired and dusty, feeling like they spent their Sunday afternoon in somebody else's problem.And yet, something richer has happened. You've shared an experience. There's conversation between the boxes. There are jokes. There's frustration. There's pizza at the end. There's the feeling, however ordinary, that your life touched theirs and theirs touched yours. The move is no longer just an event that happened to you. It becomes part of the story your friendship carries.The same thing is true of something as small as a lift from the airport. I can order an Uber. It's easy. I don't need to ask anyone. I don't need to impose. I don't need to make myself someone else's responsibility. But if a friend picks me up, there's the catch-up in the car, the small ritual of arrival. I re-enter home not through a transaction but through a relationship.The modern world is very good at helping us complete tasks without needing each other. That's often a good thing. But when it becomes the default shape of life, we solve the practical problem and eliminate the relational opportunity in the same stroke. The inconvenience wasn't a bug. It was the mechanism.We've confused updates with overlapA lot of what we call friendship now is really the exchange of updates rather than the sharing of life.There's a difference between knowing what happened to your friend and having some firsthand connection to the thing that happened.There's a difference between hearing that someone had a stressful week and having been one of the people who helped carry some part of that week.There's a difference between hearing about someone's child's football match and having stood on the sidelines with them, even though you don't care about football.There's a difference between hearing that someone moved house and having been one of the people sweating through the move with them.There's a difference between hearing that someone got back from a trip and having been the one who picked them up from the airport.The more life is lived in private lanes, self-managed and app-mediated, the more our relationships are forced to survive on narration. We tell each other what happened after the fact. We perform catch-up.That's better than nothing. But it's not the same thing as overlap. And without overlap, relationships begin to feel strangely thin even when the affection is still real.I think that's the feeling I've been sensing at church. It's not that my friends and I have stopped loving each other. It's that too much of our lives now happens offstage from one another. So when we meet, we're left trying to compress days of living into a few minutes of reporting. We're trying to recreate in speech what might have been built through shared presence.It's very hard to feel deeply connected to people whose lives you only access through summaries.Friendship needs time that has no purposeThat image of the two men walking stayed with me because it pointed to another part of the problem.Those men weren't solving anything. They weren't doing a favour. They weren't completing an errand. They were just together.That looked rare to me because it has become rare.We live in a world that trains us to justify our time constantly. Even our friendships become structured around events. We meet for church, for dinner, for coffee because we haven't seen each other in a while. Always around a reason. Around an occasion.But when do we just walk?When do we sit around long enough for conversation to unfold without a plan?A lot of real closeness is built in exactly the kind of time that looks wasteful to the productive mind. Slow time. Meandering time. Time with enough slack for random thoughts, dumb jokes, silences, little detours, memories that surface unexpectedly. The kind of time that doesn't produce an obvious output but leaves you feeling like you actually know someone.Friendship grows in the walk that had no destination. In the extra hour after the thing. In hanging around and tagging along. In being near each other without needing a reason impressive enough to justify the time.We say we want connection, but we increasingly reserve our lives for efficiency. We still make time for each other, but often only in formats too tight, too structured, or too occasional to hold the weight of actual friendship.So when we meet, we're left asking, “Where do we even start?”Prosperity makes this worseAnd here's the uncomfortable part: a lot of us are choosing this. I'm choosing this. Not consciously, not maliciously, but structurally.As your means increase, your ability to avoid needing people increases with it. You can pay for delivery. You can hire help. You can solve privately what previous generations solved communally.On one level, that's a gift.But one of the hidden temptations of having more means is that you can begin to structure your life so that you never need anyone. That looks like freedom. It looks like adulthood done properly.If you're not careful, it also hollows out the ordinary give-and-take from which community is built.Our parents often relied on other people because they had to. Not because they were more enlightened. But because life forced a level of human entanglement that many of us can now pay to avoid. If you didn't have the money, the services, the spare capacity, then you asked someone. You borrowed something. You made do through human beings.Now many of us have enough means to opt out of all of that. And that's the danger. The better off you are, the easier it becomes to build a life where no ordinary person ever has any real claim on your time. No one needs to be asked. No one needs to be leaned on. And if nobody is ever leaned on, nobody is ever bound.What earlier generations practiced by constraint, we may now have to practice by conviction. Not because independence is wrong, but because unchecked independence has a way of quietly becoming isolation.The moral vocabulary of avoidanceThere's another layer to this that I find hard to ignore, partly because I've felt its pull myself.We live in a moment saturated with a certain kind of therapeutic language. Protect your peace. Set boundaries. You don't owe anyone anything. Cut people off. Prioritize yourself. Do what's best for you.Some of these ideas, in the right setting, are real and important. But once they get flattened into internet slogans, they start doing something else entirely. They become a moral vocabulary for avoiding ordinary human obligation. And the scary part is how reasonable it sounds. Who would argue against protecting your peace?Every inconvenience begins to feel suspect. Every request starts sounding like a threat to your peace. Every uncomfortable act of care begins to look like poor boundaries.What gets lost is a simple truth: a meaningful human life involves being claimed by people. It involves caring about things that wouldn't matter to you except that they matter to someone you love.There's a difference between being harmed by others and being needed by others. There's a difference between exploitation and obligation. A healthy life has to know that difference, because once you collapse those categories, every form of community starts to feel dangerous. And once community feels dangerous, the village is finished.What being a villager actually looks likeTo be a villager is to care about what matters to your people.It's going to your friend's child's football match even though you don't care about football. It's helping carry things you didn't ask to carry. It's showing up at an inconvenient time. It's taking a call when you were planning to rest. It's being brought into someone else's world and treating that not as an interruption from real life but as part of real life.This is how community is actually built. Not in grand gestures, but in many small acts of presence over time. You make the airport run. You help with the move. You sit in the waiting room. And then, almost without noticing, your lives become intertwined. People stop being adjacent to your story and start appearing inside it.You can no longer think about being pregnant with your first child without remembering that Dombolo threw a celebration for you. You can't think about your 40th birthday without also thinking about the surprise party Dombolo organised that you didn't attend. You can't think about the time you lost your baby without remembering Nigel picking you up to take you to the airport at 7am on a winter morning. Your experiences are no longer just yours. You've lived life together.That's shared memory. It's the reason you don't have to do the full catch-up every time you see each other. Your friend was already there for parts of the story.There's a kind of adult life many of us are quietly building. I recognize it because I see it in my own. A life of smooth functioning. Bills paid. Calendar controlled. Problems resolved with minimal disruption. Nothing too dependent. Nothing too needy.It sounds responsible. It sounds mature.But it can also become a sealed life. A life where nobody can really enter unless invited in advance. Where needs are outsourced before they can become shared. Where convenience has protected us not only from hassle but from belonging.A villager isn't simply someone who likes people. A villager is someone whose life can be entered.Take the walkI keep coming back to those two men on the side of the road.What struck me wasn't just that they were together. It was that they were unhurried. Their time seemed open. Their presence with each other didn't appear to need justification. They weren't achieving anything. They were just sharing time.And that image felt like a small rebuke to the way I've been living.We've learned to value convenience so highly that we often don't notice what it's costing us. We protect our time so carefully that we don't always realize we're also protecting ourselves from one another. We avoid burdening people, and in doing so we sometimes avoid belonging to them.But some of what looks inefficient is where life actually happens. And some of what seems like a burden is just what love looks like in ordinary clothes.The window for many of these ordinary acts of presence is shorter than we like to think. You don't get infinite chances to take the walk, make the trip, show up at the thing. Some of the people whose lives you could be sharing right now won't always be this available.Maybe the reason so many of us feel this low-grade distance from people we genuinely love isn't that affection has disappeared. Maybe it's that our lives are no longer arranged in ways that generate enough shared experience. Maybe the reason catch-ups feel so heavy is that they're doing too much work. Maybe we've become too good at avoiding one another's burdens.We're friends. We care. We mean it. But we've lost many of the little practices through which friendship becomes thick and natural. So we stand there doing updates. Trying to bridge with words what should have been built with life.Everyone wants the village.I'm starting to think the real question isn't whether we want one. It's whether we're willing to live in a way that makes one. To ask for the lift instead of the Uber. To take the walk. To leave room in our lives for demands we didn't schedule.For my part, I think I need to take more walks. This is a public episode.

In this episode of Meandering Musings, Neil reflects on a surprisingly meaningful morning spent stuck at queue number 14,542 while trying to book summer ferry reservations to Martha's Vineyard. What starts as pure frustration becomes a meditation on family tradition, responsibility, and why waiting feels different when it's for a place—and people—that shape who we are.

In a world that rarely pauses, this episode of Speaking of Travel is an invitation to breathe. To slow down. To remember that wonder still lives just outside our door and within our own hearts.Meet Sue Wasserman, Travel and Tourism Director for Explore Burnsville, NC, a writer, nature photographer, devoted critter sitter, and a self-described general meanderer who knows how to pause for life's most beautiful moments.Sue's life has been shaped by the rhythms and quiet wisdom of Southern Appalachia, the hush of forest trails, the courage of wildflowers blooming in unlikely places, the stillness that teaches us how to truly be present. Her story isn't about rushing toward a destination. It's about honoring the space between.At the heart of our conversation is the gentle truth that creativity, healing, and self-discovery often begin the moment we give ourselves permission to pause.Sue shares how embracing her creative spirit, sparked by a transformative studio tour experience, shifted something deep within her. What began as admiration became ownership. What once felt like admiration of others' gifts became a claiming of her own.She reminds us that nature doesn't lecture. It simply models resilience, patience, and grace. Trails don't hurry. Seasons don't force. Wildflowers bloom when they're ready.And maybe we can too. Sue's presence is a soft but powerful reminder that travel is certainly about going somewhere new, but it's also about coming home to ourselves.As she so beautifully says, “When I slow down enough to notice the light on a leaf or the way a trail curves out of sight, I remember that life invites me to pay attention and not rush."This is a conversation about presence. About wonder. About saying yes to unexpected opportunities. About remembering what truly matters.If you've been feeling hurried, scattered, or unsure of your next step, this episode is your permission slip to slow down and trust that the path is unfolding exactly as it should.Tune in!Thanks for listening to Speaking of Travel!

Episode Title: "Santa's 3D Printer & The Killer Snowman" - Fantasy Takes Over & The Mechanoids Attack! - Patreon Exclusive Sample CHRISTMAS EVE GIFT TO OUR LISTENERS: The Doctor's Beard Podcast delivers a festive Patreon Exclusive perfect for the holiday! Join John (as Santa Claus) and Jim (as the Evil/Demon Magician) as they unwrap a mixed Santa's bag - three Doctor Who strips from the 12-week Dalek Master Plan era, plus an emotionally satisfying Dalek comic featuring the Mechanoids' first appearance! THE SEA CHANGE: Jim identifies a major shift in the Doctor Who strip: "The stories have really become little fantasies than science fiction." What began as simplistic but genuine sci-fi has transformed into Oz-esque fantasy adventures with frog people, ancient mariners, and yes - Santa Claus himself. DOCTOR WHO STRIPS: "SHARK BAIT" (November 22 - December 13, 1965) Writer/Artist: Bill Mevin The Doctor helps frog people with their shark problem before the story pivots to an ancient mariner trying to claim the TARDIS as his home. Meandering plot reminiscent of Dalek Master Plan's mid-story shifts. "A CHRISTMAS STORY" (December 20, 1965 - January 10, 1966) Writer/Artist: Bill Mevin John's bold claim: "Actually better than the TV episode [Feast of Steven]!" Santa Claus appears as a character (Jim loves this trope from comics), falling behind on toy TARDIS production due to overwhelming demand. The Doctor saves Christmas by providing Santa with... a 3D printer! "Maybe the Doctor gave us 3D printing. Whoever thinks they invented it needs to read this story." The B-Plot: A creepy demon magician hampers Santa's efforts. But the REAL terror? The Killer Snowman who literally tries to choke John to death!  John recognizes similarities to Matt Smith's "The Snowman" Christmas special, theorizing Russell T. Davies and Steven Moffat were subconsciously influenced by childhood comic memories. "Bill Mevin's family needs a few ducats... or grubsits." "THE DYTUS EXPEDITION" (January 22 - February 12, 1966) Writer/Artist: Bill Mevin The long-extinct Dytus bird escapes a space zoo. The Doctor offers to recapture it, leading to jungle adventures with unfortunate native stereotypes (echoing the recent Monstrons issue). Jim gets "a real Doctor Dolittle vibe" from the giant creature quest on an island. Both hosts confess: "I like stories about space zoos" (with John teasing an upcoming episode will satisfy this). THE DALEKS: "EVE OF WAR" (December 11, 1965 - January 8, 1966) Writer: David Whitaker (from Terry Nation's concepts) Artists: Richard Jennings (Parts 1-5), Ron Turner (Parts 6-7) Artist Change Alert: Ron Turner takes over for the final two installments, redesigning Daleks to resemble the movie versions. He continues as the strip's artist going forward. The Story: After rebuilding Skaro in "just a few months" (!) with intricate surveillance to prevent future invasions, the Daleks plan to mine nearby planet Auric. That's when the Mechanoids attack. This is the "first meeting" between Daleks and Mechanoids in strip continuity - different from TV universe. The Mechanoids are presented as equally conquering, totally machine entities (unlike the Daleks with organic components inside). Key moment: The strip explicitly clarifies Mechanoids are "totally machine" while Daleks are not - important distinction! True Cliffhanger: The story literally ends mid-narrative with "TO BE CONTINUED" - not just teasing the next adventure but stopping in the middle of this one! THE BIG QUESTION: John asks Jim: "Do you find yourself enjoying reading these more than watching some of the Dalek stories on TV?" Only one Dalek strip disappointed them across the entire run - and the end approaches! Time to buy the collection. MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE DOCTOR'S BEARD PODCAST!

What if there were a place, once a week, where you could slow down and feel into your heart? To explore the highs and lows of you right now. To sit with others who can truly see you, without judgement but with buckets of kindness and big hearts. How might that change your day?That's what “Sitting on Sundays” is. It is a practice that Angie and her husband Peter offer through their coaching company, have done so for a decade or so. Once a week, people gather on line to contemplate life. Share highs and lows. Hold space for each other without judgment or the need to fix. To slow down and just feel into who we are in that moment. While this is not something everyone will come for, the idea of slowing down, sinking into contemplation about who we are, exploring the role of grace, of hope, of peace and so many other things… it is something anyone can create with another person, and offer space to each other to be curious about life, right, now. That's the invitation... slow down and contemplate life. Your life. Find the awe in the moments. Name the highs, and the lows, and find a friend to do it with.Please drop me a line if anything piqued your interest at meanderingswithtrudy@gmail.com.

What if freedom and fulfillment came from being bad at things on purpose? What if you let yourself suck at something… and still loved doing it? We're exploring the art of meandering; embracing hobbies, conversations, and careers that don't follow a straight line in order to uncover what it means to live a life rooted in curiosity, not productivityBonus: maybe you'll finally sign up for that class you've been putting off.Read the full article In Praise of the Meandering Career here.Support the show by becoming a member of the Something More Society and gain access to exclusive episodes and more intimate ways of connecting.Stay Connected with Sam & ElliotLeave us a voicemail here! Grab your "A Little More Humani-tea" & shop our other merch!Follow us on Instagram & TikTok 

Picking up on our previous episode on influences, Angie and I pick up the threads and look at the role of expectations and ask: what happens when our expectations are not met by those who we look up to? We meander all around this, and call “human!” on feelings that come up when disappointment comes for a visit.Please drop me a line if anything piqued your interest at meanderingswithtrudy@gmail.com.

This book was foundational to my personal development, and I hope you'll find it equally as useful. A researcher, storyteller from the University of Houston in Texas, Brené Brown helped me to see how shame and vulnerability have run rampant through my life and upended my sense of belonging. She also helped me to accept this very human part of myself, and work with it in a healthy way. Today, we set the table for the ten guideposts she outlines in the chapters to come. The ten guideposts support what she calls “wholehearted living.” I hope you'll read along with it all as we go. This is tender work folks. Brené's got a lovely mantra that can help: “Stay awkward, brave, and kind.” I hope you'll keep that in mind as we dig in.I hope you enjoy this episode.

In this second PauseCast, Angie and I explore influences from our past, and how they differ from Influencers of the now, and why that matters. And of course, we finally explore why we love Alan Alda, but also Mr. Rogers, and Nancy Drew, and why THAT matters too. What is it about those people and things that influenced us that tells us so much about who we are?I'm keen to hear what you think about this, so please send comments to me at meanderingswithtrudy@gmail.com.

The Gemini South Observatory, using adaptive optics, has captured stunning new images of meandering stellar jets. The sidewinding appearance is likely caused by gravitational influences of nearby companion stars.

(Find a map here.)The quiet beauty of the everydayMinneapolis painter Ken Johnson recommends Justin Terlecki's solo show, “Hidden Place,” on view at Groveland Gallery in Minneapolis through Oct. 11.Ken says: It's a series of nine paintings in oil. They're scenes reproduced from photographs and from his remembered events of places and friends: sleeping, exploring the outdoors, eating — all relatable. He's creating a living history through these subtle artworks. His oils are in muted blues and greens. It's best seen in person because he uses these small brushes, and you can actually see these little brush strokes.— Ken JohnsonKick-start spooky season with Theatre 55's production of ‘Sweeney Todd'St. Paul's Heather Foxx says she first discovered Theatre 55 — a Twin Cities theater company featuring actors aged 55 and older — through Art Hounds. After appearing in some of their past productions, she plans to be in the audience for their fall show, “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.”Heather says: This fall, they're kicking off the spooky Halloween season with “Sweeney Todd,” filled with beautiful, eerie, haunting melodies, with actors and actresses of 55 and older.— Heather Foxx

Following the conversion of the city's new Beef Market into a dormitory in the autumn of 1793, the business of vending fresh provisions in Charleston meandered across the urban landscape for more than a decade. The older marketplaces in Tradd and Queen Streets absorbed most of the central-city commerce, while residents of peripheral neighborhoods briefly patronized forgotten smaller markets on South Bay and the east end of Calhoun Street.

I love road tripping in France and I aim to get there and meander the roads less travelled as often as I can! In the April/May of 2025 I took a "vacances" in France for a couple of months and embarked on 3 separate road trips with separate groups or individual friends. .Author Katherine Watt and I became great friends after she was interviewed on the Loulabelle's podcast a number of years ago and I have spent much time with her on previous visits to France where she now lives in Saint-Malo, Bretagne. Both Katherine and I were excited to road trip through a part of Provence that neither of us had been to before. We agreed on a rough outline of the route we might take, but importantly we both were happy not to lock in too much of the detail and just go with the flow! I normally plan much more than this, so it was oddly refreshing or even freeing to make decisions about where we would stay and what we would do at the last minute! I had a car for the full 6 weeks of the road trips I took, which made the last minute decisions a bit easier as we didn't need to factor in public transport..Our journey started in Lyon, with the first day comprising a 5 hour drive to Aix-en-Provence to commence the road trip. After this day though, we stayed off the motorways and took only the back roads. We also opted to stay in Airbnb style accommodation so we could cook in our own kitchen sometimes and we would have the capacity to store and enjoy local produce we bought along the way. We also decided that we wouldn't drive for more than an hour or so each day to allow time to immerse in the local area we found ourselves in..Tune into this episode and escape to Provence momentarily with us. Head to the Loulabelle's FrancoFiles website for more info on some of the places mentioned in this papotage de podcast aussi..**Louise Prichard is the host of the Loulabelle's FrancoFiles podcast.**Other Loulabelle's links:FrancoFile Fix on YouTubeLoulabelle's FrancoFiles Spotify Playlist Loulabelle's FrancoFiles InstagramLoulabelle's FrancoFiles website

Jen Psaki shares Donald Trump's seemingly self-contradicting answer to a question about internet rumors that he had been out of the public eye for several days because he had died. But Trump has plenty of other reasons to want to hide from the American public.Jen Psaki shows how Donald Trump's unpopular and illegal agenda is suffering one legal loss after another in court challenges, and talks with Norm Eisen, executive chair of the Democracy Defenders Fund, and Skye Perryman, president and CEO of Democracy Forward, about the effectiveness of keeping Trump's feet to the legal fire.And Jacob Soboroff delivers a powerful report about an 18-year-old honors student deported to Guatemala where she is threatened by the exact type of gangs that Donald Trump claims to be fighting with his indiscriminate deportation policy.
