1. Uruguayan author that Italo Calvino said was "a writer like no other". 

Piano Stories presents fifteen wonderful works by the great Uruguayan author Felisberto Hernández, “a writer like no other,” as Italo Calvino declares in his introduction: “like no European or Latin American. He is an ‘irregular,’ who eludes all classifications and labellings ― yet he is unmistakable on any page to which one might randomly open one of his books.” Piano Stories contains classic tales such as “The Daisy Dolls,” “The Usher,” and “The Flooded House.”

2. The Music of Extremadura recorded by Alan Lomax 

Extremadura is a region in Spain that may not be as well known as others. 

It was part of the Roman Empire. 

3. What to Expect if you see a Wolf 

Thank your lucky stars. 

I once met a wolf that was someone's dog, it was "domesticated", and it was a hell of an animal. Silent, graceful, very suspicious/skittish, very different from modern dogs. 

4. Now there have been a lot of great article titles in 2020...

But...

Grow-your-own human steaks meal kit is not 'technically' cannibalism, makers say 

takes the cake. 

Thanks, Fox News.

5. Yoga Youtube Channel 

Been trying to figure out how to work out at home again - This fellow definitely showed me how completely out of bending shape I am. Good stuff. 

Imagine just doing that for a couple of hours every day for a year...

So this was created by Bruce Knox and it's just about the greatest damn thing I've seen. I love the mug with the guitar.
