Surreal... walk past the two rooms where the nurses are suiting up in full PAPR gear... out of the hospital... past what has been an very, very full ER with people with respiratory diseases... out to Target, where I am the only one with a mask of any kind. We're not even trying anymore...

Absolutely intense flooding in Dominican Republic yesterday. Don't think I've seen huge chunks of asphalt get torn up & flipped by a flood like that before.

It's getting hard to keep track of the horrific #ClimateEmergency impacts. #Flooding

According to knowledgeable people I checked with, this is the first time that a federal agency has formally considered tires’ ecological harm. At long last, the U.S. is thinking beyond the tailpipe to examine hidden ways that cars befoul the planet."
