Certainly uncertain . . .

Thursday, October 8, 2026. It's Thor's day . . . at 9 a.m. on The Way back from the mailbox at 60º you might never look forward to today's forecast of a 90º afternoon. But, there you have it: A bright sunny afternoon with easy Southeasterlies across GreenCountry and into TulseyTown.

[T]he truth is that we can never avoid uncertainty. This not knowing is part of the adventure, it’s also what makes us afraid, and it's at the core of what Buddha called “beginner's mind.”

The republic revisited: A preview of a coming attraction (some of which will no doubt appear on these pages). – Joyce Vance, in Civil Discourse.
