Well, looks like Larry King gets her... and it looks like he isn't paying her either. There was so much bad publicity, (about interview costs) she realized she wouldn't get to tell her side unless she did it for free.. quote- BEIJING, June 25 (Xinhuanet) -- Jailed socialite Paris Hilton will give her first post-prison interview on veteran CNN newsman Larry King's show on Wednesday, the cable network has confirmed. King would interview Hilton in a one-hour special on Wednesday, just 24 hours after the 26-year-old star is released from prison in Los Angeles, a spokeswoman said Saturday. The show, "Larry King Live," does not pay for interviews. I also saw that People may have an interview, not sure if it's still on. The photos were $300,000... Would be nice if she would donate the money to help drunk drivers... Here is a link that might be useful: news article

Char,, your quilts are great. I really admire you for keeping up on your hobby under really less-than-ideal circumstances. Sailing is wonderful, but sailing and quilting seem pretty incompatible to me. You've made it work!! Shelagh looks beautiful underway. Donna, sailing is also a wonderful hobby. I found it a very empowering pasttime. I started sailing in my late 40's and racing shortly thereafter. It was my passion until I was about 73. At that time, I thought I'd leave racing to the younger set. I still love to sail, but since I sold my boat after I quit racing, I don't do it much any more. For Char, it's a lifestyle now.

Bill’s project per the link sounds about right but I couldn‘t see any pics of it to be sure and his name rings no bell. ”Jon” sounds famiIiar (and its alphabetically adjacent to “K”, so that makes me feel like I can claim it’s close at least if the name I’m struggling to remember is a horseshoe or a hand grenade). Is/was “Kimmsr” a frequent poster?

But MP4/H.264 type compression is sort of an early form of AI, and can produce minute (or not so minute, sometimes) visual artifacts or 'ambiguities'...it any rate one shouldn't rely on such compressed video for determinations about things like texture from a distance. It could be that brownish-green upright stems have been covered in the red spaghetti stuff, and just look like red stems and leaves from a distance. There are 2 small visual clues that make the dodder theory compelling, but they'd take a while to explain and it makes more sense to wait for my California expert to either speculate, or ghost me! We very seldom exchange emails anymore LOL. At the end of the day (which it isn't yet...) I've looked at plenty of pictures of chaparral/sclerophyllous type biomes, and never seen anything quite like this. Oddly enough, I've watched the video so many times now that I spotted something strange, a sort of a 'continuity error', that doesn't quite make sense...making me drolly wonder if the entire video could be AI generated! I dare anyone else to try to spot it! It doesn't involve the vegetation. I just can't believe that a plant regularly turns THIS red during dry spells, wouldn't have a reputation that Google AI would be able to latch onto. I've tried several prompts and don't get anything plausible. (it did help me discover this interesting plant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcodes What put me on the parasite angle in the first place)
