Happy end of the semester!!!

Thanks for the photo Travis! Sorry we couldn't connect. Hope you had a nice MPA. Loved Saturday!

I'm grateful that I filed a patent for this years ago. :)

A couple of years ago, I stream-of-consciously wrote this guide for how I structure academic papers. We discussed writing in my graduate class today, and I remembered it. Here is the link below if it might be helpful (or give you a different perspective)!

....maybe we should stop posting about this.

I also had a dark thought the other day with the advent of autonomous vehicles. Inevitably, someone might have a heart attack/stroke while being driven by a driverless car. So, in a way, in some/few/narrow scenarios, it's more of a corpse delivery service.

Hey, I found my local state rep (R)!

Throwback to when I tried to make a new pie chart to break down cat-egories. Had no takers. Some people lack imagination.

Kim: Three weeks of the war in Iran could have funded vision, hearing, and dental coverage for every senior in America on Medicare. I mean, it just gives you a sense of the trade-off.
