  7. Nicolaes Maes -- The Idle Servant -- 1655 -- Oil on panel -- National Gallery, London

    A picture that I am fond of recollecting in my mind's eye. The chiaroscuro ensures that we pause to consider both the thoughts of the mistress about her servant and what the artists has her communicate to us viewers.

    The National Gallery notes that the servant has been painted in the traditional pose of acedia (sloth), while the mistress is perhaps shrugging her shoulders as she smiles at us.

    Almost four centuries away from this Dutch scene and the Calvinist bourgeois culture in which it was painted, nonspecialists like me might well hesitate before ascribing any more definite meaning to the picture in general and the expression and gesture of the mistress in particular.

    Yet Maes has invested this little genre scene with such power that it would be emotionally dishonest to pretend that one's response has been suspended, awaiting scholarly explication.

    For me, what is illuminated here is the power of self restraint to overcome anger and the mistress's suggestion, with her gesture and her smile, that sinful though the servant may be, we fellow children of Adam and Eve might not be that much better.

    A far cry from the wealthy of either then or now whining about the difficulty of finding decent help these days...

  14. I woke servants up at 0530 to see the sunrise. It was brilliant, a rarity here at DIsmal Manor. So DW scampered out in knickers iPad in hand to take meh photos of the cataclysm. iPad Air in auto misses. All were overexposed. So much for Apple AI. They needed at least a stop of underexposure to strengthen the colors.

  15. I woke the servants at 0540 to do important things. No teenage hoodie shuffle-wraiths detected so I’m having some fescue salad while Mr. Sun considers Tuesday’s spectacular. Sun is rising with yellow haze on the horizon and scattered high cumulus clouds.

    And it’s 0620 and my dish is still empty! I’ve not been fed. Next servants will want to “shave” and “dress”.

    I want my brekkie! And my treats! Now!

    Wood Brothers live at Perry Pavilion tent Tuesday night.

  16. I got the servants up at 0605Q for loo and brekkie. DW fed me and put the porridge on. As usual, he forgot to set the timer. He took a guess at the time to go and set one. Think he’ll get sludge or stovetop granola bars?

    DW has a church pot luck. At 0900 he has to put the sweet potatoes in the oven to caramelize. That takes about an hour at 425 for the starches to convert and the cubes to take on a bit of color. He made this up in the 5qt Dutch oven.

  17. This FEMA civil servant and disabled military veteran voted for Trump. Now he’s out of a job
    His wife said they also believed his 13 years of military service in the Navy and Air Force Reserves, with an honorable discharge as an E-4, would have offered him more protection against DOGE cuts.
    “I recognize there are a lot of cuts that need to be made, but this is not the one that you think will happen to your family”
