Today I volunteered for a while at #tucsonFestivalofBooks at our Dept of Linguistics booth.

I do have a couple pictures of the booth, but we also got to meet and pat Millie and Gus

At the #TucsonFestivalOfBooks. Huge crowd, very few masks though we are outside. #TFOB has been going on since 2009 with two years off because of the pandemic. They did do a virtual festival in 2021.
