Got an email from BTV, link to "where we fly" page in the email is broken. Navigate to the page, see that flights to Orlando and Tampa are served by "Fronter" Airlines.

The latest outrage is an email I received that had this as the first paragraph. What's worse, that they don't know when the twelve days of Christmas actually starts, or that they don't realize that if it did start on the 13th, the twelfth day would be Dec 24? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve_...

Interesting claim on www.btv.aero/flights regarding the environmental impact of flying. www.carbonfootprint.com/calculator.a... does suggest the carbon footprint of driving to NYC in a reasonably efficient automobile is about the same as flying. 🤔

Finished @tkingfisher.com's A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking! Among its many virtues, it is an excellent antidote to feeling powerless in this moment and a sober reminder to adults to step up. Be sure to read the author's note about the book's route to publication -- a story in its own right!

Having grown up seeing the OT in the theater, I found it frustrating for the prequel trilogy to present the Jedi as celibate monks who can't know love, in seeming contradiction to it being treated as perfectly ordinary in the OT that Anakin had a child. 1/2
