Food + agriculture are not exactly central issues in this year's presidential election, but they are central to our country's future. If they matter to you, here's a roundup of some of my election-related @CivilEats reporting that may be helpful this week: civileats.com/2020/11/02/how…

In this stellar investigation, @greylmoran of @civileats shows how the federal crop insurance program often, ironically, fails to benefit — and can even penalize — farmers adopting climate-friendly practices endorsed by the very same @USDA. civileats.com/2023/09/20/how…

Einstein slept nearly 10 hours a day. He valued the significance of quality sleep for maintaining his well-being. His sleep routine, though, was out of the ordinary.
He regularly indulged in brief daytime naps, occasionally more than once a day. These quick naps, lasting just a few minutes, were thought by Einstein to revitalize his mental energy and creative thinking.
He felt that these short periods of rest gave him a renewed viewpoint to solve intricate scientific challenges.

In the darkness of a boarding school night, my mother said she could hear the other kids weeping for their parents. The children were forbidden to speak Lakota by clergy staff. So they spoke the language in their prayers — A thousand prayers from a thousand little lonely souls. – at Los Angeles, CA
