The winds made the bus feel like a ship at sea this morning. We’ve got cold and snow warnings everywhere, just need to get home before anything else hits.

Today:

• Vermont’s general stores
• Taming the Demon - Article from 2019 linked to in a recent Know Your Enemy podcast

Status: I spent yesterday cleaning up the email newsletter subscriptions. Feedbin helpfully allows you to subscribe to newsletters with custom addresses so I updated subscriptions to use one of six addresses (Substack, non-Substack paid subscriptions, NYT, Guardian, Guardian Sports, and General). Just need to make sure nothing got lost in the changes.

Reading: Gales of November, a history of the Edmund Fitzgerald sinking in a storm of the century is kind of apt right now.

Last Watched: The Testament of Ann Lee. I really wanted to love this movie and it has so much going for it. The costuming, the scenes, yet it falls so flat. It’s too long and too much of the movie cuts to either the same basic dance sequence or scene setting that could’ve been cut. By the third act all I could think about was the movie ending.
