A quotation from Hyman Rickover

Unfortunately, in real life there are no exact or final answers. In a job which must go ahead at a rapid pace we cannot withhold judgment “until all the facts are in.” Rarely is all the evidence at hand. Decisions must be made, and action taken, before complete knowledge can be acquired.

Hyman Rickover (1900-1986) American naval engineer, submariner, US Navy Admiral
Speech (1954-03-16), “Administering a Large Military Development Project,” US Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California

Read Your Way to the Light

Winter is the perfect time to stay in and read a book—and that’s not just due to the long dark nights and frigid temps. Safe at home, I can avoid the nasty strains of communicable disease that’s on the rise and safely open myself to the infection I truly crave: story.

Wouldn't it be great if there were live face-to-face social media organizations or events? By neighborhood or region, so that people could meet in person? I think it could be enormously popular!
