Mihaly Zichy, Reading. Young Man, 1867

Daily Thoughts 06/12/2020

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook Group this morning.  I also checked my LinkedIn account.

I did some extra posting for the census.

I read some more of Braiding Sweetgrass.  I read about how amphibians are being damaged by civilization.  A kind of collateral damage.  I find the spirituality to be interesting in the book.  It has a very strong ecological ethic.

I gathered some statistics for the library.

I also worked on programming with a colleague.  We are doing a variety of programs next week on Zoom.
