Last post by Woolly Bugger - April 22, 2024, 22:32:31 PMPeter Higgs, Nobel-winning physicist on a subatomic hunt, dies at 94
His theory, contingent on what became known as the Higgs boson, made the Standard Model of Particle Physics possible
Peter Higgs, a British physicist and Nobel Prize winner whose musings on the origins of mass launched a nearly five-decade, multibillion-dollar search for a subatomic particle — later known as the Higgs boson — that was said to hold the keys to understanding the nature of the universe, died April 8 at his home in Edinburgh, Scotland. He was 94.
The University of Edinburgh announced his death in a statement but did not cite a cause.
Dr. Higgs's ideas about the creation of mass in the universe, which he developed as a young theorist during the early 1960s, employed mathematical calculations to propose an explanation of nothing less audacious than why we all exist: how the atoms that make up stars, planets and people — everything in the universe — came to be

That's fine and all, but I would rather stand for a Handelbar concert than attend a local DNC fundraiser (wife said I had to go since we were sponsors- what the hell! How did that happen
? But I digress...
You're still fortunate to have the Flat Iron close by.

Well, confused the issue, didn't I? I was referring to the Handlebar.

Last post by Woolly Bugger - April 20, 2024, 19:13:47 PMpre pandemic the UNCG jazz musicians would jam at the Tate Street Coffee house. The Coffee house changed their hours and closed early. In the meantime, a new brewery opened up down the street and they recently began hosting jazz musicians on Thursday evenings. We kept meaning to go but ended up forgetting or planning something else.
That changed and we managed to remember and make it out to Oden Brewing on West Gate City Boulevard in Greensboro. The building was a former soda bottling factory and is still owned by the same family that ran that business in the 1930s and 40s. After being empty for decades Bill Oden opened the brewery. Come check it out.

The new owners turned the bar into a music listening venue — great sound system and about 50 new chairs that are wide and comfortable. I can't imagine how much they spent on those but I'm certain there weren't cheap
