An extra day off (thanks UF), means a day spent reading. First this biography, later some fluff reading. A #PerfectDay.

It was an honor to participate in the @unesco.org Memory of the World Caribbean Division Workshop in April. This is my small contribution to the conversation on Disaster Preparation. @fletcherdurant.bsky.social editing your dLOC handbook really helped me.

A reminder from Mother Nature that we can still find beauty even in the midst of Big Ugly. Pink Zinnias so poofy!

We are in so much trouble and it sure as 💩 did not take long for us to get there. What is it, two weeks? That has got to be some kind of record for sure.

Her Royal Feline Highness has the right idea: Retreat to the igloo because it is too darn cold (35F with windchill making it feel like it is in the 20sF). I wish I could retreat to my igloo 🥶🥶

Fall colors in Gainesville! Only a few trees actually change here, most just stay green, others only drop their leaves. The splash of color among the green and leafless is pretty 😊

It was truly an honor to work with you on "Rasanblaj." We managed to bring together an excellent group of people who continue to share updates with the community created there. Here's a "Family" photo from the last day of "Rasanblaj One" because for sure there will be a "Rasanblaj Two."
