The Miami feed crashed so I switched to CNN.

I'm watching on CNN, too. Is the small wave to the right of center Nyad?

I had zero idea where she was going to or from, but as soon as I got the idea someone was distance swimming I thought Cuba to Miami was the best. I wonder if my subconscious fed that to me...
Does she have a message of some sort, or she just picked a nearby place?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think I did the fabric softener thing and it was pretty easy and fast, but I only had two half-walls to do (paneling along the bottom half, the breakfast nook part of the kitchen). Trying one room and seeing how it goes sounds like a good approach, you really can't know what you are dealing with until you start in.
