Update from Aug. 20th, 2025: Left this post mostly as it was when released, mainly for the photoblog. Just removed dead links and a few notes.

Good morning. Big day. 100 Mondays in a row. Spent the last few weeks making sure all hundred posts are tidy. Currently at Jeaux. Medium roast and beignet bites. Rose is coloring on index cards while I’m writing in Field Notes. As always, I hope this letter finds you well.
