“And then they have cans of soup. And they throw the cans of soup. That’s better than a brick because you can’t throw a brick. It’s too heavy. But a can of soup, you can really put some power into that, right? And then when they get caught, they say, ‘No, this is soup for my family.’ They’re so innocent. This is soup for my family.”
“And you have people coming over with bags of soup — big bags of soup. And they lay it on the ground, and the anarchists take it and they start throwing it at our cops, at our police. And if it hits you, that’s worse than a brick because that’s got force…And then the media says, ‘This is just soup. These people are very, very innocent. They’re innocent people. These are just protesters. Isn’t it wonderful to allow protesting?’ No.”
The world continues to change, not always towards the better, but at least the John Denver music continues to play on my phone. Even if I can’t make the world a better place, I can work for a better tomorrow for myself.
Here is a brief chart that shows the climate normals, sunset times, and length of day for next four months in the area around One Commerce Plaza downtown …
Good evening! I sue hope they bring back the express bus back soon. 🚌
Taking the local back and forth to work is more of a drag now that I’m working more in the office downtown. 🚏The local with the limited Corona schedule is crowded due to limited runs and it doesn’t leave until quite a bit after five, more like 5:20. It’s kind of obnoxious but what can a humble hick from the sticks like me do?
Mostly sunny and 77 degrees at the One Commerce Plaza, just waiting for the local home. 🚍 There is a west-northwest breeze at 10 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 54 degrees. A pleasant evening for sure. Just listening to one of those Seeburg records as the bus slowly takes me home. 🎶 That said, traffic volumes are still quite low these days.
Probably going to go to the park 🏞 this evening with a book 📙 to read. I have that book I got out from the library about the history of heavy elements like uranium that I was reading but got set aside on summer vacation. Time isn’t as tight now for reading now that vacation is dun, and I am certainly a lot more sober as I don’t drink at home. 🍻
Still need to get the kayak 🛶 off my truck. I’ll do that after dinner. Tomorrow I will work from home 🏡 and go to the laundromat and store. 🛒 I have surprisingly less wash than you would think 👚 as I didn’t change that much on vacation and it was mostly mud caked shorts and t-shirts. Go sue me for being dirty on vacation, but it was my vacation and I damn do as I please.
I found out that I can replace my broken phone for $20 with the same model refurbished if I buy a month of service📱, so my plan is to tolerate my broken phone screen that I can’t always read for two more weeks then get the replacement. I figure the cracks 🤖 are just a reminder of the happy times on vacation. ☺ LOL. It’s also an excuse to use my phone less
I also learned that Straighttalk added 10 GB Hotspot to their $45 plan, so I once again will be able to connect using my laptop from home 🖥 which is nice when I need something quick off the internet and don’t want to walk to the library. Too bad that didn’t occur during the pandemic, could have saved some money while remote working. Come September no more phoning it in from the Adirondacks.
Heading home now on the local bus, 🚍 and then after dinner I’ll take a book 📙 down to the park 🏞.
At sunset, look for partly clear skies 🌄 and temperatures around 80 degrees. The dew point will be 71 degrees. There will be a south breeze at 8 mph.
We will have a Waxing Crescent 🌒 Moon with 33% illuminated. At 5 PM, the moon was in the south-southeast (164°) at an altitude of 49° from the horizon, some 231,086 miles away from where you are looking up from the earth. 🚀 At the state speed limit of 55 mph, you’ll make it there by January 7th. Buckle up for safety! 💺 The moon will set in the west (271°) at 11:58 pm. The Buck 🦌 Moon is on Saturday, July 24. Buck yeah, that’s my summer vacation. Party all night. Just like the horney bucks.
One of the challenges that I have with the online maps is getting the maps to look the same on different screen sizes. The solution is to set the viewport by the bounding box rather than the zoom level but that can still cause problems like leaving the map too zoomed on for a layer or in the case of the comparison layer but not always obvious how to do a scale comparison with modifying the zoom levels.
