Day of the Mounds, Betelgeuse, 27th of Hagwinter, 524 M.E.

 

I may be minimizing my news-watching hours, but I still scored 100% on this week's NY Times' weekly news quiz. That should serve as an indicator of how pervasive coverage of current events has become.

I logged 7.5 miles on today's walk. I hiked the Cochran Shoals loop, but didn't take in Sibley Pond or the old Sope Creek paper mill ruins. I guess I'm channeling my news-watching energy into walking mileage. 

I've been listening recently to Bob Holmes' Ambient Country podcast. The music includes a lot of artists I've been listening to for a while, Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, Mary Lattimore, Walt McClements, and of course, Holmes' band, Suss.   Many of the artists from the podcast (not Eno) will be at Big Ears next March, something to look forward to in these trying times.
