Three Questions, February 20, 2025

You can find the background to The Three Questions in my recent post about it. I’ll be answering the questions each day for the next year and putting this experience into a book. Here we go!

What was the most beautiful thing I encountered today?

I looked up as I was driving off campus today and saw the most unlucky snake ever. You see, it’s just barely become warm enough for a snake even to be out. My guess is that this one was literally just coming out of winter hibernation to sun on a rock when he got snagged by a red tail hawk.

What did I learn today?

Based on the Human Freedom Index the top 5 freest countries in the world are:

1. Switzerland 2. New Zealand 3. Denmark 4. Ireland 5. Sweden.

What made me happy today?

You know, I just needed a damn boost today, so I bought a chocolate chip cookie and a coke.
