Yesterday afternoon it rained and rained some more. 🌧 It was from the hurricane. Kept me from heading out of town this weekend. But that’s fine, I needed a quiet day on Saturday.
Went down to the park for a while yesterday, 🚶♀️ but didn’t want to get too far from home and get poured on. As when the rain came, it came. I ended up taking a nap last night and watching some Youtube videos on my phone. I’ve just been recovering from the week that was.
While I should do this more frequently, I finally checked www.annualcreditreport.com, which is the US government’s authorized way to getting your annual credit report for free. No surprises here, but I have to admit I hadn’t checked it in quite a while.
I probably should check it more often – one of my credit cards I’ve had for years was closed last month due to inactivity. Which is fine, but it’s kind of good to know before I tried to use it somewhere. I don’t remember the bank notifying me about the closed account. Which means I now have less credit then probably most dogs in America, and while credit score is in the shitter because I told the bank to give me low credit limit far below was authorized, but I don’t care as I rarely buy things.
I should be more careful. One of my bank accounts passwords were hacked a while back (but stopped by two-way authentication and a call from the bank), and I had that issue with that gun that I tried to buy a few years back at a famously anti-second amendment Big Box retailer that is locally all around and famously shitty to do business. I was denied because I was told that I had previously tried to purchase it somewhere else as labeled a Straw Buyer in NICS over the transaction. I never got any answers on that from the store or the police department, but I think the clerk just entered the wrong store number. Yeah, I’m still bitter about that one.
I was so hoping to get out of town before rifle season. This morning is so pleasant, kind of the perfect mid November morning but cold weather is on the way next week but probably no snow.

Nice morning today on this pseudo Friday as tomorrow is Veterans Day Weekend. Too bad two inches of rain is coming our way come Friday afternoon from a hurricane.
Sunny and 37 degrees at the Elm Ave Town Park. 🌞 Calm wind. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Monday around 4 am. ☃️
It would be a beautiful morning 🌄 to be sitting out at camp with a cup of coffee ☕ next to the heater watching the sun rise. But calendar 🗓 it doesn’t work for me so I’m out walking 🚶 this morning, will have breakfast 🥞 and then shower 🚿 and head to work.
I often think about all the interesting — and time saving things — I’ve learned in R over the past year and a half. On Election Night, I wrote a script that used a headless Firefox browser and Selenium to pull Election Results in real-time and process it into an a Google Spreadsheet. I was pleasantly surprised how well it worked, and how with a few extra lines of code I could pipe it into ggplot and make all kinds of maps.
The New York City Gubernatorial maps I posted where much the same way. I took data from several NYC Election Night Results pages, aggregated it into a data frame, cleaned up and formatted the data, then piped it through to ggplot with some nice styling.
Every day, I try to learn and experiment in new directions, build my skills further. As I only become faster and more talented at using R the more I use it and learn the many shortcuts and libraries out there for writing better code, quicker.
