"Off I go to do my trap!" the 6 year old says as he heads out into the back in hopes of finally developing a device to trap a squirrel so he can study it. He says he has studied bugs and dogs but squirrels and birds scurry away too quickly and he can't get a good look.


I'm not one who fastidiously tracks analytics or tweet performance. I have seriously never checked the analytics dashboard. But just from a cursory glance on the page, engagement or the algorithm is off or weird or slopified in some way. Just sort of dead.

West/Northwest Michigan is really an amazingly extreme place. Sometimes I forget how extreme it is. It's absolutely heavenly summer with beach and water that's just divine and it's absolutely dystopian and ominous winter, desolate and frozen world. Insane extremes.

We actually have one of these in our nursery right now. I bought it on eBay. We've been having our newborn do her laps on it every morning after she wakes and every night before she goes to sleep. She's already wearing clothes for 18 month olds.
