I’ll be glad when campaign season is over 🍬

I really don’t have to eat all that candy and processed food at the campaign committee offices, nor do I have to eat the lunches and dinners they offer that is pretty much standard American fare, though I fully do as it’s tough when your surrounded by such unhealthy foods.

I don’t buy such things at home or camp – I never buy candy or snacks or processed food, preferring to cook my own from basic ingredients. But spending all this time doing campaign work, I’ve rediscovered my sweet tooth and how wonderful processed crap is for anything but one’s waste-line and health.

But in less then a week, it will be a memory, and while there is the inevitable Christmas and Thanksgiving celebrations, other then that I will be eating a much better diet, though I won’t be riding all the way home now that evenings are dark.

 

Saving Files πŸ’Ύ

Bill Atkinson says the concept of saving files, was a bad design compromise that was implemented due to slow speed of file writes on floppy disks — that risks the loss of hours of work.

A much better system — not practical in era of floppy disks and non-threaded processes — would require you to set the file name when you opened a new document, then the file would be automatically journaling, and if the program crashed or computer lost power, you would loose very little data.

Auger Falls Via Griffin (East Side)

 Auger Falls Via Griffin (East Side)

A little used way of hiking back to Auger Falls via NY 8 and Griffin and the Auger Falls Snowmobile Trail. You can either park on NY 8 or at the Griffin Parking lot, then hike back from there. It's about two miles, hiking along an old woods road. The best views of the falls are short bushwhack from the the trail when it runs along the river, heading south along the river, until you are looking directly over the falls.
