So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

Mass General Hospital is mandating masks again. One of the finest hospitals in the world.

Take that as you will.

That's probably why it's gotten so far away from the cracker!

Remember

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

My monitor was upside down for a week because of a cat.

I live in DC and there was no love about it.

Having a sides-only Thanksgiving this year. No turkey, just carbs and gravy. Modern problems require modern solutions.
