What I “read” this morning on my morning walk: 2021-04-14

So I find it hard to keep up with "the latest," keep fit, and also get work done. I've been able to find time in my day by combining two of them, news/opinion items and walking/running (and sometimes even work) using the "Instapaper" app, with which the paid-for edition does audio playback.
