Apparently the Swastikar doesn’t really “wade.”

Another Tesla fail.

Our trip to PT has been wonderful (so far — it’s not over). Lovely, and lovely, tolerance, generous people.

Yesterday, I drove up one of the narrowest, windiest roads I've ever seen (and I have *seen*). Making 3 point turns to make the corners (so did others) to get up onto the high, old city in Coimbra. My spouse found it VERY stressful. But we ended up finding this lovely bar/restaurant with a gorgeous view up/down the Mondego to watch the sun set from.

Hey, I know you have scads of free time these days for reading for pleasure, but I was curious — since you were the person who first mentioned Becky Chambers’ writing to me — if you’d read her The Galaxy and the Ground Within.

It feels like a beautiful argument for how and why to create a caring and tolerant/accepting community — or society, or world.

Just spent five days driving 2650 miles. Which is longer when you consider that the time also included a very important family visit and three meal-and-a-too-short-visit visits with various friends.

And that we started fatigued from a week of hard work.

And that we three were packed into a car for which I won a Tetris close-packing award, and the sardines in the can protested every time we got in.

Tired. Sore.
