#35.5 Proof-of-life

I'm still here

Hey Friend,

Just an email to let you know I’m still here.

Still here but buried in moving boxes and detritus. I made a physical move to the windy city.

Here for my day job.

Nothing much to say yet, but was happy to see these two things in the new ‘hood.

A Little Free Library shaped like a painted Pakistani Jingle Truck (Pakistani Truck Art):

And a restaurant ornamented with an autorickshaw:

That’s it for now.

Hope to get to regular programming in two-weeks. (Once I unpack everything.)

Stay safe. Keep that mask on. Read the IPCC report.

Leave me a comment, if you please so I know you’re ok, too.

I’m convinced that informal transportation can be the single greatest lever to decarbonize the urban transport sector, but only if we stop ignoring it and instead learn to celebrate it.
