I've been deep in "I'd rather be in some dark hollow" and "thinking a lot about less and less and forgetting the love we bring" but in just an hour here looking at bios I glimpsed a thousand lives of dedication and brilliance. Thanks to all of you for lifting my spirits.

Hard to imagine a more wholesome public legacy than an employee-owned company delivering nutritious staples. A life well-lived; rest in peace Bob Moore of Bob's Red Mill, may your spirit bless hearty, healthy breakfasts and baked goods for years to come.

Almost a third of UK families lived in decent public housing in the 1970s, virtually without stigma. Just imagining it for my town lifts a weight.
"Quietly and with little fanfare, the idea of building new publicly owned housing for people across the income spectrum has advanced...not the kind of public housing most Americans are familiar with: It has a sleek fitness center, multiple gathering spaces, and a...pool"
