I read "The Parable of the Sofa" bc @pluralistic recommended it and the pun made me smile

And now I feel like a Civic Hero bc I dropped off the old couch cushion at my excellent local upholstery shop 💪

Here's the essay: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2024/06/01/Parable-of-the-Sofa

And for people in #Boston, the shop is Ecujimo in Brookline Village

Glad to see the Spanish naval barqentine Juan Sebastián de Elcano, soon to celebrate her 100th birthday, in Boston again.

She was tied up next to the Constitution in the Charlestown Navy Yard. When the Constitution fired the daily 8am cannon, a sailor on the tip of the Elcano's huge bowsprit broke out the Spanish flag, and the barquentine played the Spanish national anthem and then the Star Spangled Banner.

Really, that tells you all you need to know, except for when we can expect them in the #Boston area.
