Just trying to clear browser tabs, mostly:

I think I got both of the following from DW friends:

MNDOT had a 'name the snowplow' contest and these are so great: https://www.dot.state.mn.us/news/2022/02/02-snowplow.html

Someday I may need this sea shanty sheet music: https://urresearch.rochester.edu/institutionalPublicationPublicView.action;jsessionid=9D4450D83B5BC8741AA4216DC077BDF9?institutionalItemVersionId=24944

Fairly soon I will probably get a copy of this rowing film: https://www.amostbeautifulthing.com/

We should continue efforts to work on improving indoor air quality: https://scienceblog.com/534807/new-purifier-may-cut-airborne-covid-by-10x/

I also like this article about indoor filtration. It includes a "history" of how we got here.

This is a really great article about the topic. Thank you for sharing it! Whenever I can finally manage to buy a place to live, good indoor air quality is at the top of my list of priorities for the space. I only recently came to appreciate just how horrible gas stoves are for indoor air quality, and also how that can be resolved by switching to induction stoves. I used to want gas appliances, but now all the benefits of going 100% electric are clear. Thankfully I generally work in workplaces where extra attention is paid to indoor air quality, although those workplaces still aren't perfect. Our facilities department upgraded all building filters to MERV-13 towards the start of the pandemic, and did some fairly extensive airflow testing and rebalancing. These things all help, at least.

Oh, on the general subject, here is a beautiful portable Corsi Rosenthal that I encountered recently, that you might also appreciate:

A commenter notes that the filters would need to be handled carefully, but I'm very tempted by this design!

Ooh, yes, that's a very nice design!

Thanks for sharing the snowplow link, Brian and I got a good laugh out of them. "Scoop Dogg" made us both giggle quite a bit, although frankly, it's a shame "Sled Zeppelin" didn't make the top ten.
