I can't tell if our capitol building is ugly or brutal, or both...#oregon #brutalismarchitecture

I understand but lament the choice so many thoughtful people have made to publish their newsletters on the odious Substack. Surely they recognize that they are, at least indirectly, helping some of the worst people in the world spread and monetize malignant views.

It's been so warm here in western Oregon that I ended up moving the hanging pots out of the greenhouse last week. We'll see if I come to regret it! I am still very enamored of the round arbor we put in last year that holds the heavy pots. #pnw #gardening

Whew. All signs are increasingly pointing to a significant, if not strong to very strong, El Niño event. I'll have more to say in coming weeks & months, but for now I'll just say that this is increasingly likely to become a major regional-to-global climate driver in 2026-2027.
