Sicily is cold and wet and I have a brutal head cold.
"So what do you think of it so far?" my wife asks. We've been in Palermo seven hours.

@ccohanlon If Palermo doesn't do it, try south.
Agrigento is nice. Friendly locals. South has much warmer climate in winter than north of the island (big mountains). Less Mafia, too. Good hospital.
Or Licata. Can keep the boat in the port. Bit more mafia, but nothing compared to Palermo. Town is dirty and run down but it grows on you. Fresh fish straight off the boat for nothing prices (doesn't count in the catch quota). Cheap shuttle to Catania airport. Hospital was unbelievably shit though (googled my ER doctor - convicted child molester, check!). The good cardiologist only comes down from Parma every couple weeks.
Bunch of retired expats in the area. Friendly hiking club. Great food. Prices much lower than mainland. Summer too hot and there's no water.

@yngmar "Bunch of retired expats in the area." Yeah, no thanks.
I actually know Sicily reasonably well. None of its SE and S interest me (apart from their history) and given my checkered past, the mafia isn't among my concerns.
We'll see how we feel at the end of our fortnight here.

@ccohanlon @yngmar Sciacca was surprisingly nice.
Anyway, if you happen to come off the way over to the eastern side and happen to pass by Catania, let me know. We can swap head colds.

Fermare i treni delle armi. Logistica militare: presidi e blocchi a Livorno e Pisa
@anarchia
Giovedì 12 marzo è stata un’importante giornata di lotta contro la guerra e la logistica militare in Toscana. Mezzi militari e container di materiali legati all’uso bellico scaricati dalla nave militare Severine al porto di Piombino sono stati caricati su...

I had this #magnetic #tape #reel still shrinkwrapped. Imagine that, a tape from 1964 still unplayed like new. Finally opened it. Not sure how long I've owned it. Playing it back on the Akai GX280DSS (a 2 channel / 4 channel surround reel to reel unit from the 1970s). Sounds very nice. No loss, damage or stretching. No sticking either. #Bach played by a #French #jazz band. A 62 year old tape on a 50 year old tape recorder, both looking and sounding like new. #music #akai #ampex
