Volkswagen’s Scout revival will build new electric SUVs and pickups in a new $2 billion factory in Columbia, South Carolina. I’m looking forward to this, and not just because they picked Columbia as their home.

I’m looking forward to the Micro.Blog March Photo Challenge. I’m going to try to integrate shots from my lunchtime walks during the week and backyard hikes on the weekend.

Another milestone on my Ph.D. journey… got my first “Revise and Resubmit” today on a journal article I submitted. Most of the comments are fair and straightforward to address. Some of them are more complicated. I’ll make the changes and we’ll see what happens.

It’s not quite grilling weather, yet… but I still decided to cook out tonight.
