Daily Thoughts 03/31/2018

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I read some more of The Common Good.  I am reading about civic virtues and how easy it is to break them.

I also read some more of Enlightenment Now.  I am reading about the environment and climate change.  Steven Pinker is making arguments that as people have more they become more aware about the environment.  He is arguing for more investment in a carbon tax, afforestation, and investment in fourth generation nuclear power plants.

The YMCA is across the street from the library.

I spent a little time working on the grant for the 2018 Mount Vernon Arts Initiative.

I started the process of applying for the Great American Read on PBS.
