That was my thought. If Brexit is the sign of things to come, there’s some real danger just in general.

I have one of those library candles! Came in a book subscription box appropriately--for Edgar Allen Poe. It smells soooo good, happy to know where to get more.

We get that type with oaths of office. Word goes around prisoners that if the arresting officer didn’t have the document filed, it’s grounds for appeal/dismissal. Never upheld of course.

I think credit goes to the museum curators, for which I’m not as surprised.

I can probably understand some. Been labeled “picky” by whole life which I had mostly figured out, then my system started turning on me as an adult. It really messes with your head! I’m lucky to control most of my food by cooking at home and taking my own lunch, which generally keeps my stomach happy enough. I have a…

I’ve been thinking of this too, thanks for the tip.

Evanston! Many neighbors growing up used to cross the state line to get illegal fireworks.

Yes I did, and agree with your shock. It seemed so shiny and new, and I love all things history. The single exception was a pretty sweet exhibit on the Dust Bowl—sitting in a tiny house watching a storm coming on while hearing eyewitness accounts.

I tried to visit her house while on business in Denver. The organized tour was cancelled last minute so I went to a history museum instead. And then I watched Aloha to kill more time so basically it was a pretty terrible day!

This is terrible. I don’t work directly with statistics and data, but I know how, er, vital the vital statistics are.

But it really can feel that way, because food is so wrapped up in every facet of our social existence; being suddenly unable to participate in a low-maintenance way is incredibly isolating.

Allergies, like being punched in the face.

It’s a careful balance for me. I love and want to preserve the past, but I also want to be able to manage and care for what I’m keeping.
