Fleeing New Hampshire

Many eclipse visitors to northern New England pulled an all-nighter trying to leave

Some people who had paper maps with them navigated their way through back roads. Others were running out of gas, and some broke down. Some people opted for the dangerous maneuver of driving across a median ditch and turning back onto northbound lanes. At least one car got stuck in the ditch.

Paper maps. Imagine.

Which reminds me. I got a solicitation this afternoon for a magazine (a magazine!), one of those things that arrives in the mail (the mail!)…and it's full of paper (paper!). Can you believe it?

Also I saw the season's first dandelion. 

It's been quite a day.
