The last 10 months has been honestly hard to manage work, life, and if this project has any value compared to the world altering crisis brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. More often than not, I have erred on silence and focusing on family and the daily crisis of finding balance in an imbalanced world. So may these random photos of fire hydrants remind us that the worst bits of history become lifesaving devices.
We hope you and your family are safe, healthy, and the end of this year has been restorative. We will resume posting new field notes and taxonomies every week for the next 52 weeks.
