Elaine wrote a short piece for piccolo and violin, “Mad Hot Cicada Spring.” Follow the link for the music and a MIDI file.
Inside info: This piece has a notated bit of birdsong from our backyard (played by the piccolo) that no birder of our acquaintance has been able to identify. I’m mentioning it just in case someone out there might recognize it.

I wrote an essay where the social studies parts would be distasteful for many people, but I think the quotes from a Matt Helm novel would be amusing. The chief's reputation for precise speech is part of the plot for uncovering traitors. Link:

Yep, those are all radioactive spots in the English language. It’s interesting to think of such bits of language as shibboleths, to mark the insider from the traitor.
I share your admiration for The Zone of Interest — it’s a shattering movie.
