❄️As the autumn deepens, it's time to sign-up to Old Fox's Advent Calendar! Throughout December, I will be writing one wintry tale every single day. German glass baubles, tracks in the snow, field-fares and scarlet berries, London department stores & Dragons with influenza - a cornucopia of stories throughout the month! Either join my patreon at a paid tier or buy me a chocolate (or two!) on Ko-fi. Write Christmas in your message & I will add to you to my list of 24 windows! ❄️

Over the next few years, SDOT and Seattle City Light will install around 200 new curbside EV chargers across Seattle. We're now accepting applications. Get details and apply here: sdotblog.seattle.gov/2026/10/13/sea…
Photo of a curbside charging station, with text overlaid from the linked blog post saying that applications are now open.At-a-glance:

The City of Seattle is installing up to 200 new electric vehicle (EV) curbside Level 2 charging stations by 2030.

The purpose is to expand access to an affordable, environmentally friendly transportation option with more reliable charging near people’s homes and apartments.

Electric vehicles help reduce air-polluting emissions, minimize traffic noise, and create neighborhoods that are more resilient to the effects of climate change.

Level 2 charging provides 12-30 miles of range per hour and is the most widely adopted in the U.S.

This is a series of photos from October 2019 through to October 2026. This is why herbicides are a critical conservation tool. This site was 100% invasive species in 2019 & we are pushing upwards of 20 native species here now. Those plants provide the basis for feeding the rest of the ecosystem.

A meditation offered by Wendell Berry, one of his loveliest, published in the slim volume “Openings” (Harvest/HBJ 1968): #poetry #WendellBerry
Poem by Wendell Berry: The Peace of Wild Things.

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the green heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
Waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
