Return of the Pacific

· Maine Event

Today was a day for chores. Mostly, we prep-cooked food for the week. I'm also organizing a part of the basement and cleaning out jars. Let me know if any of you want any jars! Also, snuck in a coffee date with my dear friend Lisa.

Two exciting things with EV cars: 1) new solid state batteries promise close to 1,000 miles of driving range, and 2) new breakthroughs in the ability to charge EV batteries in less time than it takes to fill your petrol tank. Quantum mechanics.

The bird of the day is the Common Eider

Here is a poem for you.

Sending oodles of love,
