As I don’t like wearing the muzzle

As I don’t like wearing the muzzle… 😷

It’s kind of rare for me to go down to the library to work on my laptop but I did for 45 minutes or so this afternoon – I wanted to download some data plus I just wanted to get out of my apartment for a while this afternoon. It also was a chance to get a few more steps in.

If muzzles weren’t required I’d probably go to the library more but these days I find I can do most things with my phone – and I have hot spot service too. I probably could get home internet but it’s expensive, uses a lot of electricity and I like the walk. 

Snow Depth – Saturday November 20

|
I was looking at the snow depth map, noting the snow that is on the ground in the hilltowns and Western Adirondacks downwind of Lake Ontario. Doesn’t look real deep and probably won’t last all winter long — until more falls, but it’s still a sign of what’s to come. You can see the snow in the Heldebergs and Catskills from my office window.

In the 1970s, workers in PVC factories across the country began getting sick with a rare form of liver cancer. While the plastics industry claimed they were unaware of what was causing that cancer, internal documents told a different story. Today we’re telling a story about corporate concealment, cancer, and of course, plastic.
