Yes, it’s a crummy picture. Blame the photographer (me) and the weather, but this is Emily Dickinson’s house in #Amherst#Massachusetts and Dickinson wrote her #poems behind that window at the upper left.
The last hiur of the day is slipping by, #FediFam. While we wait for the 11:00 news to show the weather, let's take a moment to feel #gratitude and think of THREE GOOD THINGS™️!
"A student at the #University of #Massachusetts#Amherst was arrested by university police Friday after punching a #Jewish student and spitting on an #Israeli flag during a vigil for hostages."

It's the cost, stupid. Can hardly get people to build the thigns in the first place, and putting the Very Tall structures you need to put it over paid areas increases the cost by like 30-50%.
You'd think a math guy could..y'know...do the math.
Still recovering from the fantastic and fantastically busy Friday, where went to see @adrienne graduate with a degree in Veterinary Sciences from UMass Amherst. Beautiful sunny day, which meant hot in the stands for the 2 ceremonies but it was lovely and tearjerking to see her finally walk that stage. A good dinner and then a long drive back made for a long day.
