travelThe spreadsheet has tabs. The tabs have backups. The trip goes perfectly.
booksDense, slow, footnoted. You like books that push back.

Fermentation in repurposed jars: the aesthetics of necessity raised to a craft. You possess the rarest capital — time freely given — yet the field will misread your kraut as poverty until a restaurant charges for it.
