It is mid October, grey, darkening. For the last two weeks our solar panels have provided 42% of our house's energy use. (And sold 2kWh back to the grid.)

I thought about Canada in my youth, but I thought we were making progress, and I didn't go when friends did.

Now, the tick bite docs kept telling me was nothing has come home to roost. I don't think I have enough money for them to let me in. So it will be building a community here.

Anytime there is a flood in the continental US, it is the biggest story across all social media.

Apparently, the same as not true for a catastrophe in Alaska. There was a typhoon yesterday morning and much of western Alaska is now underwater with homes with people in them just floating away.
