Enjoying reading this new book by an old friend of my parents from our days in Zambia. Paul began as a police officer with the colonial government, and eventually became a confidant of President Kaunda and later Chiluba’s anticorruption leader. This is his story.

If you are in Connecticut (or nearby) - head over to Longview Cider House and check out the Kanavu "Wild Ferment + Science" cider now on tap. This is a result of a collaboration between a @uconn.bsky.social EEB PhD student Swapna Subramanian and the cider house owner Jeff Rogers...

My noisy neighbors are in the habit of taking off to commute somewhere right around sunset, which is proving to be really photogenic.

285 year-old house in Connecticut requires a spooky Halloween display. I was late putting it up this year but better late than never.
Also, dead sunflower stalks, make wonderful props for skeletons

Brilliant afternoon light, #goldenhour illuminating the far side of the pond with storm clouds behind.
If had waited 10 more minutes there would have been a double rainbow.
But I had to run to the airport to go to Chicago.

A few weeks ago I nearly bought another house and sold mine. It didn’t end up happening. And I’m not sorry. I can’t imagine a better place to make me relax.

It’s been a stressful week. And this morning I took ten minutes before driving to work early, to commune with my neighbors.
