Weather Update – December 7, 2021
Tomorrow is the day Big Red gets his new tires. ⚫
I am watching the forecast carefully, but I’m not concerned. I have scheduled the inspection for Friday, and I expect to have Big Red back on the road come the weekend. Weekend does look kind of rainy, and I might not need to run to store, as I am still well stocked in the pantry.
This evening though I am chewing over walking down to CVS to get my COVID booster. It depends on how cold it is later. I really want to get my booster sooner then later, and without my truck, I’ll be walking. It’s healthy to walk. Hopefully I’ll feel good enough after the booster to walk home, if it’s anything like the second shot, it wasn’t awful until the second day. Actually, maybe that’s not a good idea if I’m getting the truck tires tomorrow.

I can understand the lore of protectionism, but it's generally a bad idea -- if a country is able to do something cheaper, then it should do it. It seems silly to be protecting obsolete industries, forcing everybody to pay more.
Good Morning – December 7, 2021
Good morning! Happy Tuesday. ☀
Second day of the second week of December. Cool but it could be colder. Not as rainy as yesterday but also not as windy or rainy.
Partly sunny and 33 degrees in Bethlehem, NY. ☀ There is a west-northwest breeze at 10 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 5 pm. ☃️
Catching the early local bus 🚍 downtown, as it’s a suit and tie day at work and I have an early meeting. 👨⚖️ I started the move into the new office 🏢 yesterday, I’ll probably work in there the balance of the day. While the move isn’t official until Thursday, the office is vacant and it’s a lot more convenient to be on the floor with the staff I’m supervising. That said, if the phone and computer isn’t working in the new office I might have to go back.
I brought in some Christmas lights 🎄 to decorate up my new office, although I’m trying to keep is clean and simpler then old office, which had become kind of cluttered over time.
