I feel like “SWEET JOE PYE WEED!” would make an excellent expletive.

Today I learned about a German shepherd called Knapweed Nightmare, the first dog trained to sniff out the invasive plant spotted knapweed 🤩

Seriously?
Shouldn’t Elon be hiring his own private security guards, rather than relying on police officers that our tax dollars pay for?

Earlier this week I met a friend at Jimmy’s for lunch. Just behind me, someone was washing the windows in six-degree weather. 🥶
It was Matt Martell, AB’95.
I guess when you’re the owner, no job is too big or too small.

A year ago I stayed for a week at the Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. I was able to borrow the exact books I needed from this beautiful library.
The Eureka Springs Carnegie Public Library is a jewel, #Arkansas.
As are the rest of your state’s libraries.

Ok, I have an answer, thank you @storybilder.com!
It was particularly striking because it was one of the first pages of DIRTY WORKS: Obscenity on Trial in
America’s First Sexual Revolution, by Brett Gary.
In this context it read like a political statement.

Why do books have pages that are “intentionally left blank”?
Why not just *leave* the page blank?
Or *write something* on it?
Can someone in publishing please explain why this is a thing?

It thinks the light above the sink is the moon.
My cat is about to lose her tiny mind.

I saw this book in the Boulder Public Library a few months ago and was curious to read it.
I could buy it ... but why not ask the Chicago Public Library to buy it for all of us?
Santa exists! But he only brings books. And you have to share.

One last thing and then I’m done gushing about the OCLS Writers Conference.
ocls.org/ocls-writers...
1 - It’s free.
2 - It’s online and open to everyone.
3 - It’s in JANUARY. Just in time for a few late-breaking New Year’s resolutions.
I have never even been to Orange County.
But thank you!
