I looked at the radar. Impressive pull of precipitation along the entire curve of your long axis, with a bit of help from Lakes Huron and Superior.

For some us, we carried paper books everywhere to avoid boredom and avoid social interaction. Same role as phones, but with one app of editor-vetted, single author (usually) very long form writing. Main frustration was that unlike phones, books were slightly but consistently oversized for pockets.

That brings me back. A friend of my grandpa built a plane in my grandpa's old quanset barn. It came together slowly over many years as I was growing up.

This is my first ever creation using crochet. Taught myself this week while recovering from minor surgery. Tied it off this morning. It is a coral aka hyperbolic geometric surface.

Yes. 100%. The sci-fi time travel book To Say Nothing of the Dog (Connie Willis) is also a fun book, inspired by The Men in a Boat
