Mapping in QGIS 3.14, I want to use the same symbol as the local historical USGS 24K quads use for unimproved road and light-duty road.
The U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily barred New York from enforcing strict attendance limits on places of worship in areas designated coronavirus hot spots, in a decision released late Wednesday.
The court ruled that Gov. Andrew Cuomo's executive order violated the First Amendment's "free exercise" clause, and actively discriminated against religious institutions.
"The restrictions at issue here, by effectively barring many from attending religious services, strike at the very heart of the First Amendment's guarantee of religious liberty," the unsigned majority decision read.
These are trying times for believers in QAnon, the baseless conspiracy theory that falsely claims the existence of a satanic pedophile cult run by top Democrats. For years, they had been assured that Mr. Trump would win re-election in a landslide and spend his second term vanquishing the deep state and bringing the cabal’s leaders to justice. Q, the pseudonymous message board user whose cryptic posts have fueled the movement for more than three years, told them to “trust the plan.”

I am pretty good although I slept in ๐ด because I woke early and ended up listening to the news before falling back asleep again. ๐ป Then I got working on a bunch of different projects on my computer. I am trying to stay off the internet – the amount of doom scrolling ๐ one can do is a terrible waste of time.

As I noted yesterday heading out to the parents house for a socially distant Thanksgiving around tray tables. ๐จโ๐งโ๐งโ๏ธ๐ง๐ป๐๐ฝ๏ธ It will be fun to do before everything really shuts down as the pandemic really climbs the next few weeks. I’m already planning to work primarily from home this winter ๐ก๐ป, having figured out how to do it with my phone as a hot spot.

I have the groceries I need and will be heading up to the Adirondacks tomorrow for a few days. โบ I do think I want to stop for hot coca โ on the way up there and maybe a few other supplies but I want to get up there pretty early as the sun sets early ๐ this time of year. Do some short hiking from camp, listen to a lot of podcasts and retire to bed ๐ fairly early. I could hot tent but I don’t think it neccesary for this weekend.

Areas with non attainment have emissions inspections but other areas often emissions equipment is clunky and works rather poorly. Automakers lobby for one standard but the problem is that one standard wastes fuel, reliability and performance in areas when the equipment is not neccesary.
