Got into woodworking this year, so naturally cranked out a few projects to give as gifts over the holidays. Pictures are a watch box and a cheese board/slicer. Really happy to be able to give handmade gifts

I'm married to a teacher so I do get the teacher's frustration with parents trying to fight them on grades. This is pretty outrageous though, especially this choice quote. Pretty insane failure on a shocking number of levels

The district failed to acknowledge that the teacher's answer violated scientific fact as well as the publisher's answer key, which confirmed the correct answer was heat and light, since "combustion is a chemical reaction that typically releases energy in the form of heat and light, which makes it an exothermic process."

A productive afternoon yesterday at Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary! Lots of people out sharing sightings with each other which was so nice! Some photo highlights for me were this *dramatic* downy woodpecker, a very cooperative common yellowthroat, and a lovely black and white warbler. #birds

took a swing past Jackson Park and had some fun sightings - a Caspian tern swooping over the lagoon, a grey-blue gnatcatcher, an orange-crowned warbler (I think!), and a northern flicker, among others #birds

Visited Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary today and was not disappointed - got some beautiful shots of a yellow warbler, a black capped chickadee, a female downy woodpecker, and a common yellowthroat, and a less beautiful shot of a peregrine falcon (!!) in flight!

Took my camera out for a spin at the beach. These were two of my favorite captures. I saw sparrows (song, house, and field sparrows), mourning doves, robins, red winged blackbirds, gulls, , ducks, cormorants, and, of course, pigeons on this particular outing.

Who indeed? 🙃

Capping those fees — possibly as low as $3 — would be a huge boon to families who really need the help. Who could oppose that?

Things are getting tense over on the chemistry faculty search status tracker. Stay kind to yourselves!
