‘It’s definitely not moving’: another bear makes evacuated LA home its own. Must not hug poor little bear.

PT Barnum vastly underestimated the birth rate of suckers.

It’s a lovely day to be inside. Did a hike, cut it a bit short because branches were falling, chopped some of the ice off the driveway and now watching it snow.

Icy hike

Icy hike.

Doom scrolling because there is no other scrolling.

Dammit. #BookSky. apnews.com/article/tom-...

Glad I woke up early, learned a new language and sent this email to myself. I will definitely open it and click in every link.

Read the first two stories in “American Spirits” by Russell Banks, dark but good. #BookSky

If you decide to take a break from social media, don't announce it. Instead, make your last post something interesting like, "Guys, there's the cutest family of black bears over there. I'm gonna go grab a photo. brb."

I am going to become the joe rogan of the theft. I'm going to start stealing things from the lowest shelf at the grocery store

I found this research paper interesting. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

It’s looking pretty darn Narnia-ish outside.

Spirits giant Brown-Forman — whose flagship brand is Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey — announced that it’s closing its barrel-making plant in Louisville, KY. That move comes as American whiskey producers face 25% retaliatory tariffs from Canada in response to Trump’s 25% tariffs on Canadian goods.

Finished “Sisters of the Lost Nation” by Nick Medina. Fiction, but knowing how many times this is real means the story still hits hard. #BookSky

Seems quite possible this is the tap the President sent the military to turn on—an unscheduled flood release from Army Corps reservoirs into the surrounding farmland 200 miles and a couple mountain ranges distant from the wildfires. sjvwater.org/decision-to-...

Started “Sisters of the lost nation” by Nick Medina. It revolves around teenaged Anna, who’s searching for her younger sister that disappeared (among others) on her reservation. Well written and suspenseful. #BookSky

I just started, “The Friday afternoon club” by Griffin Dunne and am loving it so far. #Booksky

After uproar, Air Force says recruits will again be taught about Tuskegee Airmen. AETC commander says 'historic legacy and decorated valor with which these units and airmen fought for our nation in World War II and beyond will continue on 27 January.' www.expressnews.com/news/article...

Still coughing from the flu 3.5 weeks later, but managed to get out for a couple hikes this weekend.

Just finished, “Small things like these” by Claire Keegan and absolutely loved the story of courage in the face of oppressive ruling powers. #booksky

The fields will be in bloom again.
