This one came up in a playlist this morning and it's really good! It makes me think of mid-1980s Don Henley: https://youtu.be/zp61EkGwac8?si=OfpTVdxfyJ0gNNXm

Today as I walked into work I saw a tree, the top of which was lit by the sun - the sun must've just come above the roofline to illuminate the tree. The tree, covered in ice had a cloud of fog around it. It took me a minute to figure it out but it was coming from the heat of the sun warming the ice on the tree which was sublimating (going straight from solid to gas - no liquid state) and turning to fog.

I couldn't capture it on camera though. Some things in the world are clearly copy protected.

January Reading

Inspired by my friend Rupali's recent post, I write a bit about what I have been reading these days. Will it be a monthly thing? We shall see.
