We did get sun yesterday but don't expect to see it again till after Sunday. We got a good bit of snow overnight. Hope we don't get as much as they say we might. We always seem to be on the edge of systems that dump on areas nearby.

The Dutch are getting wise and advising parents that they shouldn't discourage their children from attending vocational schools. They are, evidently, fighting strong biases which see the schools as parking grounds for academic failures, etc. I would like to see our education system go in that direction.

Longreads had this on its feed this morning.  I preferred the title the Longreads people put on their page linking to the NY Times piece: The Placeless and The Privileged. The description of ROAM reminds me of a cross between a posh gated community and hotels like Embassy Suites the cater to business travelers who want a bit more luxury. I shouldn't be surprised since most of our very wealthy and big corporations have become rootless and without any sense of loyalty to any given place. But perhaps rootlessness is a more widespread reality than we think. I have been nibbling at a book titled Nomadland detailing itinerant workers (often older but retired with low incomes) who go from campground and job to campground and job throughout the year.
