still thinking about the problem on the analysis prelim that was very nearly dini's theorem but swapped a monotone sequence of functions with a sequence of monotone functions

of course I did not realize this while actually taking the exam, no,

Body: you must rest
Brain: you must rest but you must feel terrible about it
Society: you may never rest and must continue to cognitively decline until you are a husk who can't work, only THEN can you die.

The other day at a nearby patch I caught some movement that was a Groove-billed Ani. This time I didn’t hear its striking call. Turned out there were 2 deep in the tree cover. #CorpusChristiTx #Birds

If you have not heard from someone in several days, they might have the flu. This is also my reminder to mask again whenever you are indoors, set your air purifiers on medium (they are useless when off), get vaccinated, and wash your hands after taking the subway.
