Quarta, 27 — *O vento esparramou as nuvens na delicadeza do instante. – O Outro Lado

quote extraído do Coletivo Ao vento, todo dia — da prosa de Mariana Gouveia

Já era o quarto dia quando te vi brincando com os meninos da rua de cima. Chapeando as pipas enquanto eles soltavam a linha.

O clept clept era para chamar minha atenção – pensei – e ao mesmo tempo, como se fosse tomado pela velocidade dos pés deles você esparramou as nuvens na delicadeza do instante.

Eu apenas ri e te chamei com um assobio – seguindo o ritual que aprendi com minha mãe. Eu te chamo, às vezes, quando o som oco do silêncio fica por aqui. Assobio e você chega… às vezes, tão manso que nem ouso falar seu nome.

Mas, acontece que, em algumas horas você atravessa o quintal de um jeito bravio que imagino ter te tirado de alguma brincadeira legal por aí…

(talvez) com os meninos da rua de cima, como agora.

Electric guitar maker claims president-elect-endorsed merchandise infringes on Les Paul trademark

Gibson, the maker of famous electric guitars, has issued a cease and desist order to the company behind a range of “Trump Guitars” endorsed by the US president-elect.

Gibson told Guitar World, which first reported the story, it took action because the design of the instruments being sold as Trump Guitars “infringes upon Gibson’s exclusive trademarks, particularly the iconic Les Paul body shape”.

Named for the American musician whom the Guardian once said “basically invented the electric guitar”, Gibson Les Pauls have been sold since 1952 and played by countless rock legends, among them The Edge of U2, Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin and Slash of Guns n’ Roses.

Salt water creeping up Delaware River in worrying sign for big fresh water source | US news | The Guardian

Salty ocean water is creeping up the Delaware River, the source for much of the drinking water for Philadelphia and millions of others, brought on by drought conditions and sea level rise, and prompting officials to tap reservoirs to push the un-potable tide back downstream.

Officials say drinking water is not imminently at risk, but they are monitoring the effects of the drought on the river and studying options for the future in case further droughts sap the area, amid the climate crisis.

The salt front or salt line is where salt water from the ocean and freshwater meet in the river. That boundary is typically somewhere around Wilmington, Delaware, but the recent drought in the north-east has pushed it about 20 miles (32km) north, around Philadelphia international airport.

The farther the line moves upstream, the closer it gets to drinking water intakes, which officials have worked for decades to avoid.
