War is disruptive and violent in a million ways. During the siege of Boston in 1775-76, w Loyalists moving into the city and patriots leaving, moving across militarized lines was challenging.

Tteokbokki bolognese, a Korean/Italian fusion dish. Had this dish at the restaurant (Kimika in Soho) was good. Made it at home, was a lot of work (buy the sausage!), but excellent flavor. Contemplating making again, but someone is going to have to come over to ooh and ah at it.

So if you get that OPM email, my only advice is to recognize (1) it is asking you to give them an excuse to fire you (2) it will be processed by an LLM. If you want to leave, good luck to you, thank you for your service. If not, reply in a way designed to not give their LLM bot those free excuses.

Please salute my 25 month old daughter who consumed an entire Costco hot dog today. When we told her “we’re going to Costco now!” after her soccer practice, she immediately squealed “HOT DOG” and very much backed that up.
