Nate:  I've been tracking lake levels for The Great Salt Lake -- one of the few encouraging indices related to the weather and environment these days.  It's been good to see the Lake recover.

I was surprised Boston is not formally represented yet -- you would think it would be one of the first areas to jump in.  But, Bill McKibben's Third Act has quickly organized in Massachusetts.  I'm a cultural historian, was one of the global leaders integrating technology into higher education with the explicit framing of changing the culture of higher ed -- and I see the same situation facing humanity now -- having to adopt a new evolutionary phase for our species, or, better said, return to the evolutionary phase before our industrial detour that led us to act as our worst selves.  We can return to cooperation and empathy -- the trademark human traits -- at the community level; Weavers has the right idea.  Thanks for the welcome. -- Trent
