Love the idea of an off-grid social network. I discovered a software project long ago called PirateBox => https://piratebox.cc . The idea is that you take a single board computer with wifi capabalities (like a raspberry pi) and it broadcasts a local wifi network (with no internet access) that redirects to it's own self hosted website where you can chat with other people who connect to it. You can also share files and there's also a forum. I love taking it with me on flights when everyone is desperate for wifi but there is none except mine!

This morning I emailed an ancient friend (we've been writing each other one way or another since the early 1980s...) about how yesterday I realized how badly I need snow cover in the winter.

Why? Because the ground being bright white in the winter strikes me way more psychologically uplifting than witnessing just frozen dirt littered with dead stuff.

That said, a few inches total will do.... :-)
