A year ago today, there was a lake in #DeathValley one could float on. A reminder that wonder exists in our world!

#PalisadesFire and #EatonFire are finally 100% contained. Recovery will be a very long road and never 100%. We are changed by this.

I spent half of today watching the fire from an ER waiting room in Santa Monica. That was humbling. Lots of folks in need. Thank you so very much to all first responders and medical personnel!
(I'm fine. My neighbor is receiving care unrelated to the fire.)

In case anyone is curious, this is the flaming palm tree on the middle right today. Both trees survived.

Before and after: a few images of the #FranklinFire that will stay with me, plus Pepperdine's campus today.

After the second shelter-in-place lifted this morning, my moment was seeing a picture of Pepperdine's Drescher campus and faculty/grad condos looking unscathed by the #FranklinFire. (top left in fire map)
Thank you, firefighters and all emergency personnel!

A student gave me this today, and I love it. I am also so tempted to hang it up in finals next week and give bonus points for finding any typos.

Kids, when #Honda released the CR-V in the US in 1997, it came with a novel feature: a picnic table as the back floor. I've never used it since it's tough to access with a loaded car. So in celebration of my 1997 #HondaCRV hitting 200,000 miles today, I took the table on its first picnic!

200,000 miles! And my 1997 Honda CR-V is still going strong! I love this car. I've made so many memories with this car. I had a picnic with the built-in table to celebrate. #HondaCRV

In the beginning, it was a nice day. I awakened to discover there is a Good Omens graphic novel, and I backed its Kickstarter by @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com & @colleendoran.bsky.social before getting out of bed.
