This morning, within minutes of waking up I saw 6 or 7 species of birds, but I'm always happy to see our ride-or-die House Finches.

My 2025 resolution is to keep striving for a world where more people get to experience that feeling, whatever their version of "that feeling" is. 🪶

This one is a "hear me out" because the subtitle might suggest that it's a different kind of book than it actually is, but I promise it's progressive.

Long-tailed Weasel, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. It found me, not vice versa. I was eating my breakfast near an alpine lake when I noticed a fuzzy tube standing bolt upright and staring right at me.

I only recently discovered the joy of being able to abandon a book I'm not enjoying because it was free.
I know everyone says this, but the amount of STUFF libraries have available digitally is just breathtaking. My library system here in Baton Rouge has thousands of Udemy courses available. And they're free! They're so free.

Libraries are cool. Librarians are cool. Support your libraries.
