So lovely and refreshing to see blue skies again a So lovely and refreshing to see blue skies again after a long, smoky summer and fall. I always love this time leading up to winter solstice. Mountain daylight, short as it is each day, is so clear. People talk a lot about thinning veils in fall, but I feel it more acutely now, between past and future. I like to think the winter world provides cover of darkness to reflect on our thoughts, fears, regrets, memories, and hopes.

I have nothing philosophic to offer on 2020 except to acknowledge my good fortune despite my difficulties with this horrible virus. So many people have suffered this year: irretrievable loss, crippling fear, insurmountable difficulty, unwanted change, unaccountable hatred. Just please know I see you.

My brother and I have been tracing our people back My brother and I have been tracing our people back several generations, mostly to England and Scotland. One line came to Plymouth in the New colonies prior to 1640!

We thought our Scottish roots stem from Paisley based on a will that mentions his father's birthplace. But I'm finding some conflicting info that indicates Hugh Fraser was actually born in Kilmorack, Inverness-shire. Lovely place, Inverness. I rather hope the new sources are right because the area felt oddly like home when I was there. (Also, based on the spelling inconsistancies of names in the will I'm not sure old George Hugh Frazier/Fraiser/Fraser at 100 years of age would remember precisely where in Scotland his father Hugh was born) Distant family lore claims Hugh was transported at a very young age as an indentured servant in 1715 or so, never to see his parents again.
๐Ÿ˜ณ
The dates are mildly impressive. We are quite firmly American and I wonder which generation decided they were no longer Scottish but Something Else. But I'm mostly interested as a storyteller. Also seeing first names follow the generations is curious and heartwarming.

FAUCI OUCHIE

Emma Scott@EmmaScott

A 6-year old ballet student asked me today if I'm excited about getting my "Fauci Ouchie" soon, and I will now be referring to the covid-19 vaccine as only that, because it's the cutest thing ever.

Agreed. So much of that article stood out as being coincidental with fuzzy numbers. The fake news marker should be lobbied for and applied with an explanation.

Please join me in asking @jack to instruct @TwitterSupport to add a way to report people spreading false and misleading information that will endanger public health and worsen the pandemic. Itโ€™s no different than using Twitter as a platform to incite violence. https://twitter.com/robertkennedyjr/status/1352748139665645569
