Downsville Covered Bridge, constructed 1854
It's interesting how imaginative some golden age sf was and how it also failed to connect the dots. In Heinlein's "Between Planets", we have mobile phones (which you answer with something like a call sign) and robot taxis, but you don't summon or pay for the taxi with the phone.

My inner buttkicker is telling me to record a new podcast episode today, but my inner essentialist is telling me continue the behind-the-scenes prep work instead for the brand reboot. It's OK to work on the stuff you need to get done before you can do "the work". Art takes time!
Let’s all just stay in bed.
I have love teaching with @microsofteams. My only real issue is the wiki. Probably the worst of all wikis in the wiki world. No export, no wiki mark up, no HTML, linking pages hard, not really sure what qualifies it as a wiki. (quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/22fyR1)

This is my announcement that I will no longer be referring to the President by his preferred auto-appellation of Very Stable Genius, but by the apparently more accurate yet still respectful one of Superspreader in Chief.

pink sky just after sunset reflected in the wet sandPink Sky, Pink Sand

My mental health has not been great lately. I’ve been feeling pretty stressed out and all over the emotional spectrum. On Saturday I decided go to the beach at sunset. I always find that soothing. I really liked the symmetry of the pink sky being reflected on the wet sand.

I finished watching The Good Place recently and loved it. They talk about one Buddhist conception of death being an ocean wave that crashes on the shore. The wave is gone, but the water is still there. I thought about that as I watched the waves and took some moments to breathe and be present.
