[oc] Cucumber in the Jammy enclosure

I need to share how the IT guy at work greeted my department on CrowdStrike Blue Screen Friday. Never have I seen a man so shocked by the sight of perfectly functional computers

So I wrote a letter to my senator about protecting the federal parks from the mining and lumber industries and he wrote me back a personalized letter specifically referring to the points I made about state and national parks having an impact on my childhood. He said “I, too, went to the state park nearest me when I was a boy, so I know how important protecting those spaces for future generations is.”

Also, I had a great chat with my mayor (who is actually really nice even though his daughter was my bully in middle school) about rebuilding a local park that was built by a local man almost 75 years ago and is now falling into disarray. Its only safe for children in most spots and he said “I don’t think the city would approve the funds to hire people to rebuild it.” And I was like “offer pizza and make it a community project, then all you need is the material costs.” And he seemed to genuinely consider it. He said “that’s a wonderful idea, I’ll propose it at my next meeting. You should also propose it at the next town hall.”
