Diagram showing how higher vehicles impact vital organs and push people under the vehicle instead of deflecting them.

Diagram showing how higher vehicles dramatically affect site lines, especially for seeing kids. Plus the weight makes it harder to stop in time.

There’s a TON of evidence that bigger, higher vehicles are far more likely to kill somone they hit, crushing vital organs & pushing victims under.

But never forget, their weight, height & sightlines also make it far more likely that they’ll hit someone in the first place.

Turtle laying eggs

Spring in #Maine - turtles are out depositing eggs in the yard.

Graphic showing how vehicle front design affects pedestrian deaths.

“Vehicles with higher, more vertical front ends pose greater risk to pedestrians. Vehicles with especially tall front ends are most dangerous to pedestrians, but a blunt profile makes medium-height vehicles deadly too.”

Deadly by design. And they know it.

Higher education: working across healthcare simulation education, operations, and faculty development—grounded in adult learning theory.

We have a dance and hockey kid. Dance costs are crazy!!

Bluesky is collegial and interesting, the way Twitter used to be. Bonus: most people can spell.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

I was early 50's when I had to use crutches for the first time. Being 6'4" and always no so graceful, that was an interesting time.

In Boston today - it’s freezing 🥶

Where is this? Looks interesting

Read it. Read it again.

Love #PEI

Sometimes a snow day from work is a good thing. Sitting in the queue for #Phish tickets.

These are great - they look like another world

Tying is so relaxing. I am not always consistent, but I keep practicing over and over again. I have a number that are not candidates for the camera. Then, photography is my second relaxing passion. I took the photo after tying and using my camera on a tripod.

Apple gave in

Our family loves our neighbours to the north. Nicest people in the world!!
