I've selected just a few of the many artists from what is known as the Mideast area of our globe. They are incredible voices.

Open Thread for Saturday
Submitted by randtntx on Sat, 08/08/2020 - 9:51amI don't know where smiley's OT 'Welcome to Saturday' essay is, hope he is OK.
I'm cooking and transplanting seedlings today so will just put this up.
On the menu today;
humus, (garbanzo beans have been soaking) flatbread, Caesar salad, (I know, does not go together but is what we have in the fridge), cabbage salad (to be made for tomorrow), and whatever else we can scare up...is a work in progress.
If anyone knows about smiley please chime in.
Friday night photos - OT
Submitted by dystopian on Fri, 09/27/2019 - 8:29pmHope I am not stepping on any toes here... but since I don't see anything up yet... I'll toss a few pix up but can't guarantee how much I can be around to be a good host.
An immature American Redstart visited the bath but I missed a good shot. Just a docushot.

The Contradiction of the Moral Soldier
Submitted by detroitmechworks on Mon, 11/06/2017 - 1:32pmSoldiers have a mixed reputation. This is not a statement meant to be judgemental, but rather an acknowledgement that the profession of soldier has been maligned, praised and judged based not on the profession itself, but the societal use and view of it.
A Nemo Vignette: The Feast of Capital
Submitted by detroitmechworks on Thu, 11/02/2017 - 11:08amIn the Town of Tillamook, they have a very curious but long standing custom. The "Feast
Of Capital" is seen mostly as a children's holiday, but is an intrinsic part of
understanding Dealer Culture.
Nemo, Chapter 1: Fire Sale
Submitted by detroitmechworks on Wed, 11/01/2017 - 2:23pmThe fire sale was surprisingly lively for an early morning. Here and there people rushed
into the burning building, removing objects to the dibs pile while just as frantically the
presumed owners of the home did the same, occasionally dropping an item into the
deductible pile which sat next to the Peedee.
"Nemo" Development/ Brainstorming #8: Final Notes.
Submitted by detroitmechworks on Tue, 10/31/2017 - 11:00amI've gotten a lot down here, enough so that I don't feel like I'm flying into this completely blind. For those just joining me, this is my final little jaunt into world building and exploration of the Earth, 500 years from now. It's a Post-Industrial, Non-Dystopian world, where most of the things we most fear nowadays have come to pass, and yet people are surprisingly OK with it.
"Nemo" Development/ Brainstorming #7: The Former EU
Submitted by detroitmechworks on Mon, 10/30/2017 - 10:55amWelcome back to my brainstorming/development for "Nemo" a non-dystopian, Post-Industrial novel. This idea sprang from my interest in post-industrial fiction, but really blossomed into full flower when I combined it with my love of Age of Sail ships and exploration/Adventure stories.

As usual, Mood music. Feeling a bit Piratey today.
