> [@MrDibble](#): > > I should have added “at night”. I don’t know about Black Rock, but it gets well cold at AfrikaBurn. Ah, I was thinking of Burning Man the original, not the diaspora. Being at 3,900 feet, yes, it gets cold. We’ve never been below freezing but pretty darn close some years. A temperature swing of 60F is quite common. ---

Oh, we have inherited stuff like Tutu Tuesday from the original. It’s just that ours is generally a shorter event so there’s not a lot of us around then. But I’ve flounced with the best of them. ---

Talk about your ‘appearance of impropriety.’ I thought we elected a new President and were – maybe – done with this kind of bullshit ? Hunter Biden’s artwork (he created the pieces) will apparently be sold for $75,000 to $500,000 apiece. Ethics experts are raising concerns about a reported agreement involving the White House that will keep secret the buyers of Hunter Biden’s artwork at an upcoming auction.

Obvious troll HughGoply got a one-day suspension for doing his usual Reductio Ad Absurdum schtick in the Toy Gun thread in GD. Here’s hoping it’s a ban – that guy just trolls all day long. ---
