    My semi-regular notice: That swell new law you have in mind ... I'm not going to obey it, and I'll sabotage enforcement. Just so you know.

    For those asking how my voice will continue at Reason after I've passed into the great beyond, thank you! But I'll point out that, despite my own best efforts, I'm not dead yet. I haven't even stopped backpacking yet. Watch and contribute!

    I started building another raised bed for the garden, and realized my son's online class would be disturbed if I broke out the circular saw. Hand saw it is, I decided. That was ... quite a workout.

    Orvis catalog arrived today. It's pretty genius to offer $500 Barbour jackets, and also house-branded copies at half the price. I do like oilskin, but I have a $30 canvas jacket that I waxed myself.

    One restaurant owner I spoke to says he spent several hundred thousand $$ converting his rooftop into COVID-compliant outdoor dining, making profitability an "impossibility," only to have L.A. county shut him down a few days before the holiday season.
