Tip o’ the Hat

I was walking from the Pentagon City Metro station to the bus stop, and on a corner, when I saw a bus at the stop, on the other side of Army-Navy Drive and a small distance east of the corner. I thought that I would need to wait for another bus, but the driver waited while I crossed the street, and then walked or ran to where the bus was. I thanked him, and I would like to acknowledge his thoughtfulness on the Intertubes.

We’ve had cold weather lately, with ice and snow on the ground. I notice that I seem to be hungrier than usual; my instincts may be telling me, “You need to take in more calories to be keep warm and be active in cold weather. Also, you should put on more weight, since there are likely to be hungry times ahead before new growing plants and spring animals will be available.”

“Lawless”

Ilya Shapiro, a law professor, has been blogging samples from his book Lawless on the Volokh Conspiracy, and I especially like his third entry, focusing on the expansion of university bureaucracies, and in particular the increasing number of DEI administrators.
