The C. Lee Links Package arrives. First, and I had no idea, it's How Pearl Harbor forced the world’s first around-the-world commercial flight. This is a fantastic read: How the South Cornered the Soda Market. It was good, too: People used to drink hot Dr. Pepper during the holidays. This is long and very interesting: The Art of Queer Liberation: On the Enduring Power of Manuel Puig’s “Kiss of the Spider Woman”. Welcome to 2021: Main character syndrome, explained by Carrie Bradshaw. Useful: Windows 11: Give yourself more time to roll back the upgrade.
