0:00 Welcome to ANI in the air, under the sky, by the fire, and around Baltimore. Your daily podcast briefing of all the goings ons, ins and rounds, arts and ideas said by the school.
0:10 So, today was another great gorgeous day out here by the field. The field was drying up nicely, still got some soggy spots, but that's been nice.
0:22 We have a bunch of chairs out in the parking lot, although many people just take up spots along the wall or the picnic table.
0:32 Been a lot of clay action today, digging up clay from the yard. We've got a fire going and some people have been firing up clay, so that's been really cool.
0:44 We had article club today where we talked about anti-war films and whether anti-war films are actually anti-war films.
0:55 We selected a little short story for next week about a quantum computer that simulates the actual universe that we're in and what that would actually imply.
1:12 So hopefully that'll be a little fun, different exercise versus some of the heavier stuff we've been talking about lately.
1:21 And yeah, missions is going well. We did an interview this morning and we're going to do a visiting week next week and we just talked with them, get expectations about our policies and everything all talked about.
1:46 And yeah, things are going well. Tomorrow is a hike, so we're trying to figure that out. It's the first hike that we've had when we've been back in person.
2:00 So hopefully some people out there online will join some people here and go enjoy a nice hike. So we'll see how that all shakes out.
2:12 Alright, so today is Thursday, so that's tip of the week Thursday. I think an homage of the new fire pit, I'm just going to say, you know what, you can just get some wood and burn it up and you've got a fire.
2:32 Yes, nice little metal tub. You can put that anywhere and we've got some cinder blocks in the base, all thanks to Ashley's hard work on that.
2:45 And we've been burning some wood and you can fire up clay if you get hot enough.
2:55 So I didn't get to actually witness that happening, but certainly it was cool to see that it was done.
3:05 Alright, so I guess I will talk to you tomorrow on our third day back and last day of the first week back.
3:17 And so far, we haven't had any JC stuff. It continues to be the case that when we're at half capacity in person, and we have about 40 people here right now.
3:31 But when you have all this capacity, there are a lot less conflicts over resources bumping into other people. But you know, hopefully we'll find some conflict for the visiting week student to observe next week.
3:49 It's always fun. Speaking of which, I'll announce this in Monday announcements, but we do need JC and school meeting clerks if at all possible for the month of March, should probably announce that in Discord too.
4:07 But yeah, currently it's just me as gavel clerk, and I'm supposed to be the backup so need some primaries people need some primaries. Alright, y'all have a good one and talk to you tomorrow.
