First digits after the decimal point
Éric Angelini is not at the moment updating his latest sequence suggestion, so I will post my extension (assuming a 1, 2 start) here:

A million-digit Leyland prime (third one)
After my second find, I really did not think that I would generate another example in my current search space. However, at the upper end of that space:
194968^136197+1*136197^194968 is 3-PRP!
This is now the 14th largest-known Leyland prime. Ryan Propper owns the largest 13:
19 million-digit Leyland primes (via Norman Luhn); n-th Leyland + 1 = A076980 index |
Bucket list #1

Café Polonez: 195 Roncesvalles Ave |
schnitzel with cole slaw, beets, carrots, and potatoes: $21.95 plus tax |

Neheim-Hüsten street view
Three years ago I wrote an article about my Neheim birthhouse, captured from a distance on a bicycle-ride YouTube video. In it, I bemoaned the absence of Google's street view. Today, by chance, I noticed that Google has (from October 2022) a very limited street-view coverage of Neheim (and its 1950s-era twin town of Hüsten):

I was fortunate that my birthhouse was visible from Bergheimer Weg (in that 2009 blog post is a link to a 1934 photograph of the house being built):
