Thur. Nov. 29, 2018 – coming right soon…
Weather station says 65F and 99RH, but that could be from yesterday. I really have to climb up there and change the batteries. It’s supposed to be warm and wet though, so it is possible. Christmas and the end of … Continue reading

Sat. Nov. 24, 2018 – Black Friday over, only a couple dead…
Currently 51F and saturated. Missed the garbage truck this morning. I usually hear them in plenty of time. Bummer. Despite Friday of color shootings and fights, it was probably less violent than most weekends in those areas. And the cops … Continue reading

Fri. Nov. 23, 2018 – the day retail makes money
Currently 60F and slightly less wet than yesterday. Kids and guests let me sleep until 9am. Which was good. Had a bit of trouble dropping of last night, which rarely happens so it was nice to get the extra time. … Continue reading

Thur. Nov. 22, 2018 – Thanksgiving Day (US)
52F and wet. Rained off and on all night, very lightly, spatter and drizzle. Today is the day we take some time and give thanks for the blessings we have. Which is a very religious statement at its base. But … Continue reading
