March for Science

W and I were taking in the annual hidden garden tour of old town Savannah yesterday, when the Hostess City’s March for Science shambled past us. Not much science, no chanting. science celebrating or politics was in evidence. Even the signage was tame (“Living past 30 #thanks science” was a Twitterized one while “Science is the mitochondria of our society” read a lame attempt at nerd humor). This was probably due to the fact that most of the marchers were students at the Savannah College or Art and Design.

I wasn’t sure whether I should weep or chortle when I spotted”Data Saves Lives” and “Show Me Your Science.” One placard was spot on “Alt Facts = √-1”

Foxy Loxy’s Fire and Wine

Meanwhile we ended the day celebrating the scientific fruit of oenology at Foxy Loxy – a local coffee beer and wine bar on Bull Street. They offered half price bottles of wine, free marshmallows to toast over their blazing fire pits, while enjoying its youthful vibe.
