It was written by singer #JonAnderson and guitarist #SteveHowe and produced by the band and #EddyOfford. The song originated when the band were on tour and travelled from #Aberdeen to #Glasgow, and went through many #roundabouts on the way. The song was released as an edited single in the US in January 1972 with "#LongDistanceRunaround".

Governor J.B. #Pritzker warns that #democracy is #fragile, eroded by #fear, #division, and #blame. Drawing from #history, he reminds us that #authoritarianism creeps in slowly—through #scapegoating and #silence. Citing today’s rising attacks on #diversity and #truth, he asks: What comes next? When #hate fails to solve our problems, #history shows where it leads.

#Illinois has stood against #tyranny before, and we must do it again. #Democracy demands #courage. Tyranny thrives on #silence; democracy lives through action. The nation is watching—will we rise to the moment?

#MAGA = NAZI #MAGAISNAZI

Here is a photo of the oven pumping.

Not as much to see here, but it was neat to see the overall color this made shift as it aged in and the mercury worked its way through the rainbow.\

While it takes way longer, and is less efficient, there is no risk of the tube arcing- leading to irreversible tube death. So less exciting is good here :)

You can really see the effect while its on the aging table. The greens and yellow are all on the same tube, but that is just the argon, the brightness is the mercury (mostly its effect on the phosphors).

Gosh those Murano colors are nice. I wanna pull and coat some more tubes.

I probably should leave it in the oven overnight next time. I think the pump wasn't the greatest- it likes to snake like crazy -which looks really cool but is actually a sign of a not great pump.

We shall see how badly and how fast it stains up. I do like looking at the little rainbow doodle.

A little comfort on a gray and wet november morning:

On and on the rain will fall
like tears from a star,
like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
how fragile we are,
how fragile we are

With Stevie Wonder on vocals and harp.

Nothing is as fragile as democracy. It requires constant work to maintain. If you take your eyes off, you're soon heading downhill. We’ve always struggled & succeeded in that work throughout ages, albeit with great loss & suffering. It’s exhausting & unrelenting work & can never give way to the destructive.
