A pretty good write up of what it is like in the Twin Cities right now, particularly around school buses and dropoffs. PNW friends, I encourage you to read and share.

The proper response in this case is, “Ope. Apparently "Ope" IS a thing in Ohio, I just live in a weird tiny pocket where no one uses it”

But we were all dressed for it. You don’t go to something like this and not have at least 3-4 layers on.
Being in it was something. It took us a little while to get started, but we could we see more people coming in as we waited for the parade to begin.

A full story with Jesse at max power? And a reason to investigate? I’d buy that.
I absolutely cannot wait. Control was the last game I finished front to back where I gladly stayed up FAR TOO LATE and regretted none of it.

This is absolutely insane. In the talk, I discussed how angular momentum is generally arrested in the last couple of feet as forward momentum fades.
Not in this case.
It was PACKED. You could hardly swing a broom.
