I think the gaudiness is distracting us from him making a "walk of fame" that's literally all just the presidents. It is true that he is one of the 45 most famous people ever to be president.

Doorman Stories
"At the start of every giving season I’m reminded of Noel.
Not only has he been a beloved doorman for decades, but on Wednesday evenings, rain or shine, he organizes a food drive for New York City’s unhoused population."
He created The Ellen Macguire Foundation

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

How do you even come up with this idea as a Halloween costume?

Maybe geniuses do walk among us

What is the period called when death has occurred but no one living has witnessed it, has been informed? What is the word, the phrase, the name for those minutes, hours, days? Maybe there isn’t one. There should be. For this is sacred time, time out of time, without ballast or anchor, without leash or link. Incommensurable time.

At first I thought you were quoting this recent Joy Williams essay about Gene Hackman’s death. harpers.org/archive/2025...

Your periodic tip sheet on how to tell downy and hairy woodpeckers apart. The downy (on the left) is smaller, but without a hairy nearby to compare, notice that it’s beak is about 1/2 as long as its head front to back. The beak of the hairy on the right is as long as its head.
