I enjoyed seeing all 3 models of 2026 Nissan Leaf here in N.Carolina. As expected, I like the middle model (SV+) best. I love google navigation incl charge planning!

Finally our local Nissan dealer has recd the new 2026 Nissan Leaf and I have an appointment tomorrow, Dec 31, to check it out! I love my old Leaf but relish the idea of a car that goes almost 300 miles (SV Plus - 288 miles, I think price app $35-38,000). Brochure: www.nissanusa.com/content/dam/...

Merry Christmas! Happy holidays! I will refine this but wanted to put this out for folks today. My students have done this problem and a generalization to n days for some years now - it's about time I create a handout! Warm wishes! #mtbos #iteachmath #mathisfun #christmas mathinst.com/christmas

As @weaverstreetmarket.bsky.social had said, no Sugar Belles this wk-more coming. I saw
www.georgiacitrus.com Franklin Citrus has Shiranui; WSM had it. I think it’s Sumo (Dekopon) - good, bit mild, tasty. Alas, in excitement to get 1st of Sugar Belle, I missed it's not #organic. I hope coming soon!

#organic Sugar Belles are here!!!! Thanks, @weaverstreetmarket.bsky.social, for holding the first of many cases for me! As expected this early crop (late compared to last year) is a little sour with hints of lemon. In a few weeks these will approach #tripleCross in excellence! georgiacitrus.com

I'm excited to be presenting at noon w/my daughter on amazing #civilRights pioneer Anna Julia Cooper - trained in math. We're presenting at the City of Raleigh Museum. It was fun delving into 19th & early 20th century math pedagogy & of course learning more re: AJC! #mtbos #iteachmath #mathhistory
