Pretty Good Hat

Having laid in stocks of potatoes, bourbon, coffee, and those little chocolate cookies my wife likes, I am ready for Northern Arizona Snow Event 2019.

This forecast from wttr.in is pretty descriptive but doesn’t mention the 19-25in of snow that’s expected.

📚Finished Senlin Ascends by Josiah Bancroft. Not sure what I think? Rich world with lots of potential and a protagonist who I get more sympathetic with through the story, but who is ultimately still pretty bland. First in a series; might continue it?

Last week was the one year mark of my journaling in this little book. It feels good; I still enjoy the writing, and this is the longest I’ve ever consistently kept a journal.

Oh. All of a sudden there’s twelve inches of snow in the forecast. ❄️

My son can’t sleep because he is anxious about being the operator of the New York end of a transcontinental telegraph demonstration that his second grade class has built. He has been rehearsing his Morse code all night. He is ready.

📚I finished American War by Omar al Akkad yesterday. I will be processing on it for a long time. It’s deeply bleak, scary and sad, with a lot to say about empires, refugees and trauma.
