Thank you for this! I’m glad to see an explanation of some of the math and decision making processes scientists and public health officials are using. I read the NYTimes piece and felt it was missing this kind of breakdown.

After you mentioned these in your last post, I dug one and planted pumpkins. I’m also trying pumpkins in a big pot nearby, and I’m looking forward to seeing how they compare. Always love the gardening posts. Thanks for sharing!

I agree—I am on this site for the blog, especially the update posts. Like many who have posted, I counted on them as a way to gauge what I should really be concerned about and what I shouldn’t. I have been checking back daily hoping to see a take on the events of this last week in Washington. I know I can count on those updates to point me to important news I might have missed, help me keep a balanced and long-term view, and help me see what’s going on from the perspective of a seasoned, rational, prepared person. I am disappointed to hear they’ve been retired, and I hope you all might reconsider bringing them back in some form, even if less often, paid, a newsletter, what have you.

No activity yet.
