I seriously need to break the habit of doom scrolling FB. Tonight I'm working on notes to clarify motivations of my characters for a meeting with my play director, sketching for a series of stickers with Doug and Otto at our Land Trust preserves and listening to the Tragically Hip!

I did the math, and the National Weather Service's contract to translate weather alerts into other languages costs $1.16M per year. Meanwhile, Trump's planned military parade in his own honor will waste $92M, including (ironically) $21M in public safety measures.
