"The fearlessness, calm, inner peace, and joy which are given to us by love are so big that all other things in the world cannot be compared with them, especially for the person who understands the real blessing of love."
- Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar of Wisdom
Arun Gandhi, one of the most incredible people I have ever known and still can't believe I worked for, died today.
He left such a mark on me - the lunches together, the time in the library, the stories & wisdom.
Breathing peace into the morning for him. โจ๏ธ
Genuinely startled to look out the office window and see a cruise ship towering over us downtown! Hard to believe the season is already upon us.
It's even harder to believe that next year, the first ship will arrive April 1.

Torrential snow in JNU. My vehicle got high centered on snow piled in an intersection, so I got out with my shovel to dig. A bunch of other drivers got out in the blizzard to help. I got to repay the favor 5 min later with another stuck car.
So grateful for this community!!!
@julia_omalley Can name a fave in most diners in Southeast but I will just pick one.
Chilkat Restaurant and Bakery in Haines. Best old fashioned & buttermilk donuts anywhere. Super fresh, homemade, perfect crunch. Enjoy them on a cold day with a hot coffee. (They also have a Thai menu!)
@scotchua School let out early. I was on the way to pick up. Earlier in my drive, my windshield wipers stopped running from the weight of the snow. Had to pull over and clear it with a brush before they would work again. It's a legit blizzard!
@kellenbrent Toothless usually means they have no standing or precedent to enforce and collect. In this case, the agencies probably do. More immediately: Does this fine actually provide a meaningful penalty? Does it provide incentive to do better in the future?
