I wasn’t going to do an evening walk 🚶

But it was such a nice evening with the expected heat come the morning I figure get in extra steps this evening before bed even though it’s late. Plus I will need milk for coffee come the morning. 🐮

Went grocery shopping this evening for my weekly sticker shock 🤯 and got the very impressive Pine Bush display from Lynne for the Lupine Festival. Then I saw gas prices in Glenmont. I shouldn’t care, I drive a gasser and so few miles days and make really good money. 💵

I pulled a beer out of my truck and put it in the freezer 🍻 and I’m waiting with baited breath for the Special Master to release his maps tonight. 🗺 Such a map geek I don’t even know if can download the shapefile on my phone, and I don’t want to waste my hot spot. I shouldn’t stay up late 🛏, I have work to do in the morning with committee agendas before heading over to the Lupine Festival 🌲.

Quiet At The Beach

That said, for a while it was quiet a beach, a perfect place for fielding emails and phone calls as I worked from "home".

So in any operation, whether driving on a journey, completing a task at work, or maximizing the efficiency of a factory, it is best to focus on the slowest components. There is significantly diminishing returns when improving already fast processes, and they are probably not worth it.

While driving, for example, speeding does not make sense from a risk-benefit consideration. Speeding means you are going over the speed limit, which is already reasonably fast, so that time saving is actually negligible. Going from 60 to 80 mph on a 10 mile commute would save you 2.5 minutes, and increasing further to 90 mph saves you a further 54 seconds. For that you are risking a costly and time-consuming ticket, burning more gas, and risking an accident.
