Began the week with an optometrist appointment who kindly told me that I’m “on the edge of bifocals”. And that my friends is my 2026 theme at the ripe age of 41. 🤓

Yet another stumbling block in the road. Renewable energy is cheaper than fossil fuels! And if you are angry about this, invest in organizations that are doing the work on the ground in YOUR state. (Most of us give more bang for your buck than giving to a political candidate.)

The article said it: “More drought and extreme heat, forest fires are starting earlier in the year.”
But it never used the words #climatechange.
Attribution studies show January fires are now 35% more likely in our warmed world. That’s the missing connection.
