Vineyard Wind turbines are easy to see from South Beach! I think at least 20 are visible, even though last week the local paper said only 10 are operating.

I'm thrilled to see them, and also a bit surprised how obvious they appear. This is a Pixel 3 phone photo at 7x zoom

Vineyard Gazette, July 12, 2024

Progress on offshore wind: Vineyard Wind weirdly still reports only 10 turbines operating (out of 62), but Revolution Wind has "steel in the water" (65 turbines planned, ~2025), New England Wind approved by BOEM (129 turbines, ~2029), Sunrise Wind approved (84 turbines, ~2026)

My air-sealing white whale was this pocket door connected to extremely, hilariously ventilated walls/ceiling. In cold weather it was almost like an open window. I finally cracked the code with this "uxcell Weatherstripping Brush"! Even the gap where the rolling hardware suspends the door.

Just finished reading "Eleutheria" by Allegra Hyde, a novel about climate change with emotional resonance and an improbable sense of hope.

No more combustion in the boiler room, so I got to seal up this massive hole in house.
