1. Today is the start of Deepawali (also known as Diwali) - the Hindu Festival of Light. Have you ever seen any rangoli made of flowers/coloured sand/coloured rice etc?
I have not. There is not a large Hindu population in our area.

Many times. It is quite good, but not my favorite song from the album.
3. Is there anything you have seen on TV or a streaming service that you have enjoyed this year and would recommend that other people watch?
We just watched "Woman of the Hour" on Netflix. It was chilling. We also very much enjoyed "Magpie Murders" and "Moonflower Murders" on PBS.
