DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.

One of my friends left us in San Francisco, while the other one and I drove down to L.A. We passed a lot of nice sights during our crossing of the CA-152 West. Some were entertaining, such as all the garlic farms in Gilroy advertising things like garlic ice cream and garlic honey (also 10 avocados for $1!) Some were just pretty. One was the San Luis reservoir, which was huge.

While walking in the woods I ran into our state bird here in Vermont, the Hermit Thrush.

It looks similar to several other thrush species, but can be distinguished by a reddish tail contrasting with the brown upper back, clearly seen here.

As the name suggests, they tend to hide in the brush and are more often heard than seen. Their flutelike song sounds captivatingly mystical when echoing through the trees. You can listen to them here.
