Good evening! Partly cloudy with some fog π around but you can partially see the stars and 44 degrees in Dormansville, NY. β Calm wind. Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 4 am. βοΈ
Today was a pretty quiet day at my parents house. π I stayed there with the dog πΆ taking him out for a walk that totalled 1 1/2 miles. I didn’t mind the walk but he’s gotten very elderly and he was out back most of the day, sitting back next to the heater. He got a little too close to the heater and I started to smell dog hair burning but besides a little patch of sinenged hair he’s fine.
It rained β a lot more this afternoon than expected and I ended up heading inside with my laptop, researching and processing some new data for the blog. I haven’t made many Google Maps in a while and I’m still going through videos from vacation. π₯ There is a lot of government data out there for making maps and charts π if you know where to look for it.
Knowing where to find government data π€ not only helps me make content for the blog, it is helpful reference sometimes for work and I think ta good experience and knowledge that could be useful for future career opportunities especially after I leave the state for good. The more you practice the better you get at it. That’s why I’ve gotten so good at map making.
