An Open Letter to HitchBOT (and family)

Dear HitchBOT (and family),

I was so saddened to hear of your vandalism and subsequent demise. In your short life you touched so many lives and I know you will continue to do so.

When I first heard about your trek across Canada I was delighted and intrigued. Your family and the strangers who helped you make your way across the country represent the best in humanity. Wide-eyed curiosity, neighborly love, and a passion for the unknown are all things that make humans (and robots!) great.

It’s appalling to think of the inhumanity that led me to write this letter, but here we are. Yes, bad things do happen to good robots, but please know how many of us would have preferred to *never* see a bad thing happen to you. I sincerely hope that your family is able to construct a HichtBOT 2.0. If that’s the case, I’ll be watching for you when you get to Arizona!

Much Love,

Kate

When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Delicious Lemon Crinkle Cookies!

One of my favorite things about Arizona is the abundance of fresh, delicious citrus fruit. The possibilities are endless with lemon recipes, but this time I decided to go sweet and make these yummy lemon crinkle cookies. With the amount of lemons I have, I’ll be using them in creative, tasty ways for weeks to come!
