This very old tree on my street just fell down the other morning. I heard a large boom, and there it was.

I know I shouldn’t take photos while I’m driving, but the sky was too good on the way home from work tonight. Like a giant, glowing, cotton candy blanket rolling in to comfort me.

I don’t know if this stuff does any more for me than rosehip oil, but because of the color and the smell I am absolutely obsessed with it.

Do you think predictions of the death of the university (colleges, or the liberal arts, humanities, etc) have increased since COVID? It seems that way to me, but…I just wrote a whole book about death. And my own discipline (theology) seems clearly headed toward terminal decline.
