LET CSS PICK AN ACCESSIBLE COLOR! `color-contrast()` will automatically pick a color that passes contrast ratios, just give it a list to choose from. aka: throw colors at it! ```#css body { background: var(--blue2); color: var(--onblue2); } ```

5 Things I Learned From My Amtrak Writer’s Residency | Scott Berkun

2. I was fortunate enough to win an Amtrak writer's residency a few years ago and rode from Washington D.C. to Seattle. It was amazing despite how limited service was at times. A much better way to see America than by highway in many ways.

1. I'm excited by the prospects of investments like these. The history of Amtrak is rough (it was born from big compromises that hindered its potential and has been beat up since) but the payoffs from non-car infrastructure are usually worth it.
