Happy Autumn! It was 100 degrees here on Sept 1, and it’s only supposed to be 68-70 as a high on Wednesday next week.
The backwards fairy tale was clever! Loved the cup of water on the sidewalk, too.
That is a lovely library! But I would get very nervous being on the ladder on the second or third stories. O.o
Loved the backwards fairy tale. Really neat concept and execution.
I think I could watch the view from the bottom of a cup of water on continuous loop for hours. <3
That's a fascinating look at commute and innovation. I think it's clear that we need to do something, but I have no idea what that is going to end up being. My employer is certainly telecommute-averse, and it's very common in that attitude.
