Downsides of flowers

Today was Monday. I was super effective in the morning, but came home early as I was made into a puddle from pollen. In the afternoon, once home and in a better state, I worked on drafting a policy document for AI to serve as a jumping-off point to have conversations. I think it's less about policy and much more about change management. The world is changing fast, and everything around us is changing too. You can't really stand still, and working with it is better than against it because then you can ask better questions, even if you don't know all the answers. Luckily, with this topic, no one does.

I mostly think carbon capture is a complete sham. This, however, is a much more fun idea. Just as much of a sham, but with a sense of humor.

Politics are heating up around who will represent San Francisco in the House of Representatives now that Nancy Pelosi is stepping down. Who would you vote for? There are 9 Democrats and 1 Republican running!

Good Morning San Francisco

The bird of the day is the Gray-headed Chickadee

Here is a poem for you.

Sending oodles of love,
