Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

I've offered to Zoom with Aaron's class anytime he wants, and that offer goes for any other teacher or professor whose administration has banned WHITE FLIGHT from their classroom.
@kevinmkruse.bsky.social Thought you should know that five days before class starts, Tarleton U (part of the A&M system) explained to me that I wasn't allowed to teach your book "White Flight" because the title has the word "White" in it.
