Grateful for the CO2 sensor that kept my in-laws alive this morning after a gas leak. Everyone get yourself CO2 sensors for the second day of Christmas. Merry Christmas and here’s hoping 2026 is boring AF.

Church organ tuning records mirror our warming climate
The records appear to reflect climate change, as well as the increased heating of churches in winter

Hundreds Quarantined in South Carolina as Measles Outbreak Shows No Sign of Slowing
The outbreak shows no signs of slowing, likely because of the affected area’s “lower-than-hoped-for vaccination coverage,” a state health official said.

In my meeting with a student about to file his thesis, he told me he realized there's an asterisk to the idea that CMS 18 does away with place of publication.
It only does that if the book is post-1900!
Before that, you keep place & normally omit publisher!

14.31: Place and date only, for books published before 1900
Chapter Contents / Books / Facts of Publication / Place of Publication
For books published before 1900, the city of publication is typically of greater interest than the name of the publisher (often a long-defunct printer); it is therefore usually preferable to omit publishers’ names and instead include only a place and date of publication. A comma follows the place. See also 14.30.
1. Oliver Goldsmith, The Vicar of Wakefield (Salisbury, 1766).
Cervantes Saavedra, Miguel de. El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha. 2 vols. Madrid, 1605–15.
If for any reason the publisher is included, retain the city of publication, followed by a colon.
