Air temperature 28 F, wind southeast about 8 mph, snowing. We rejoice in a Winter Weather Advisory, which I have anticipated by looking out the window. Supposed to stop noonish.

Media musings

I see a lot more diversity and inclusion in ads these days -- affluent non-white actors, apparent mixed-race couples, apparent same-sex couples. Yeah, it's all fake. But ads show what advertisers want to see. Progress, perhaps glacial but a far cry from the world I grew up in.
