An example from Greenspun made lions ponder the reality of buying the absolute cheapest house.  https://www.lennar.com/new-homes/florida/orlando/eagle-lake/ranches-at-lake-mcleod/cottage-collection/kitson     It's pretty depressing in even the sales pitch, with just a garage, a small window for the facade & all wood. No-one even uses garages anymore.  The price difference is so small, the owner would have to be extremely stretched to not go higher.  6 small windows in total, with 1 small window in the bedroom.  The apartment of the last 25 years & most other apartments have more exposure.  That's $265k nowadays or $185/sq ft.  Lions could probably get used to it.  They're sacrificing exterior for square footage & the interior is a pleasant cocoon.    The next higher one is the $252k & has 2 front windows.  That would be less depressing.  Proximity to water causes the depressing one to cost more.  ...

2 years now since lions were last able to run every day.  There's a nonzero chance the malaise which began in 2024 is related to the cat naps starting in 2024 & vitamin C reduction in 2026.  Cat naps haven't been in the most relaxed position because when confronted with a short sleep time, the brain puts up with a less comfortable position.  Vitamin C going down to 1g/day coincided with the hamstring tendon. Trying to boost the vitamin C at noon failed because lions always forgot.  The morning is the best time to take it all, since that minimizes the residual odor at night & enhances the bowel movement in the morning. 1 thing that might work is just taking protein every other day, regardless of effort.  They now recommend taking less because of mercury concentrations. The big change after age 48 was what formerly recovered no longer recovered.  Hamstring tendon, posterior tibialis, heel injury used to bounce back in a few days.  Lions eat less ...

 After many years of trying to get the best rendering of subtitles for Macross DYRL & trying to find a copy in better resolution, it finally showed up in HD on the gootubes.  Sadly, the subtitles were on top of the video instead of in the letterbox & it appears to be a theatric print.  Also disappointing to not have clean animation frames. It was 1 of the last times yt-dlp was able to download anything.  Every attempt after May 18 resulted in a login requirement.  It seems the lion kingdom's only viewing was a very low quality copy before 2013 with baked subtitles.  It was very dark & low def.  A better copy arrived in 2013 & the 1st copy was lost.   The last revisit to robotech featured only stills from the TV show.   https://growmane.blogspot.com/2025/05/the-backflow-starship-incense-burner.html    The HD print showed what a masterpiece it was.  Sadly, the lion kingdom before 2013 didn't know the rob...

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFv6_3JaHGQ     Reminded lions of their flamingo visit in 2004.   The photos still survive.  Lions were so fascinated by the maffia history, they took a lot of pictures.      Somewhat nostalgic for the look that old Sony camera's grainy, saturated photos. It was a lot of money for the time but quite ahead of its time, right before DSLR's arrived.  Quality this good is unheard of for photos from that time.  2004 was a banner year for the day job, putting all the bigwigs in that hotel.  It was downhill from there.    Through the magic of 22 years of progress, it is now possible to visualize the original building in the current context.    The inscription implied the very 1st building was the 3 sided one in what is now the outdoor space, but it didn't appear roomy enough for the entertainment.  It faced away from the strip.  Kiwipedia confirmed the triangular shaped bu...
