Here’s that fence again. From my cars open window. I’d like to adjust my verticals angle to better place fence with horizon. And to do so in weather better suited to the season (snowfall)

Snuck out to grab this shot today. Have been wanting to take this when snowing for a B&W but haven’t made the timing work.

Even if many of us have shifted practice away from prophylactic antimicrobial coverage for endoscopy in this population, the shift was based on anecdote and the concerns about CLABSI in this vulnerable population have remained. Kudos to the authors on getting this in print!

ICE is now changing tactics and arresting people who have been granted asylum hearings.
This is both a violation of US & international law that demands immediate attention from all New York elected officials & underscores the urgent need for legal service providers to be at all of these cases.

I am so looking forward to season 2 (final season)
After many recommendations, I finally started watching the Star Wars show Andor. I found this moment from season 1 to be particularly relevant. What do you think?

The first season of Andor was incredible. Gritty. Politically apropos. Imaginative yet grounded. After reading this excellently-written review, I’m excited for the second and final season and plotting my viewing cadence for maximum enjoyment. It will include rewatching of first season and Rogue One
Andor Is the Best Star Wars You Will Ever See
The second and final season of Tony Gilroy’s epic is suspenseful, action-filled—and a timely, unflinching portrayal of the human costs of rebellion.

Carbide & Carbon is one of Chicago’s best examples of Art Deco architecture. Legend has it that C&C was designed to resemble a champagne bottle...perhaps a nod to the ostentatiousness of the roaring 20's. It opened in 1929, so the "party" didn't last long even though the architecture endured.

There are many reasons to wish John Candy were still alive. Not the least among these would be the epic sequel to “Canadian Bacon”, called, “Canadian Eggs”. Sadly, on our present timeline, it could even be done as a documentary.
While the U.S. grapples with an egg shortage caused by avian flu, eggs remain plentiful and affordable in Canada. There are reasons for that, including that egg farms there tend to be smaller.
This is why Canada has plenty of eggs — and the U.S. doesn't

Had no idea folks find this rude. To me, an email is such an impersonal form of communication, I almost never begin with a salutation. How many have I offended?!
Is it just me? If someone emails me etc and just start by stating my name, followed by the message. It irritates me. If they don’t put, Hi, or hello, or good morning before my name 😤
I find it rude. I don’t like rude people.

There’s been a lot of speech and action against truth and empathy. Now’s the time for those who believe in these things to use them to build bridges and allow folks whose faces are being eaten by leopards to chose a different path. And allow them some grace in doing so.

Please enjoy my last ever post at Climate.gov/ENSO Blog. This afternoon I was fired by the Trump Administration 15 days before my 2yr probationary period ended on March 13.
I have worked at NOAA since 2010, and I'm so incredibly proud of the work I did. If anyone wants a quote, let me know.

Predicting El Niño and La Niña is tough, but new research analyzing 20+ years of forecasts finds dynamical models outperform statistical ones, especially for El Niño. La Niña onset? That's been much harder. Read more in our new ENSO blog post! www.climate.gov/news-feature...

Last week, we reached 100,000 patients as part of our medical debt relief program.
I’m excited to announce that already we’ve alleviated this burden for more Illinoisans.
As of today, an additional 170,000 Illinoisans will have their debt erased — relieving $345 million.
