::marking the day on the calendar::

First morning that the furnace kicked on. It was 64F in the hallway. I reset the trigger to 62F in the winter, but for now I’ll keep it where it is. Haven’t acclimated yet.

And now they’re getting crafty

The spammers. Ego boo to get me to reply and thus permit them to keep posting.

“Do you have a Twitter or Facebook page?”

Um, yes–just look along the right sidebar.

“Do you have an RSS feed?”

No, but I think I can set one up. Thanks for the suggestion.

Exciting day on the road. I saw two near-miss accidents–a near-collision during an attempted lane change and an intersection near-mishap (I’m driving east and turning left–you’re driving west and going straight. Let’s race). Saw a trooper escorting a man from his car to the back of the cruiser as the man talked on his phone–I’m guessing that was a fun call to make–and another trooper make a U-turn and stop a truck going in the opposite direction. Not sure if the trooper saw something or if a spotter radioed ahead.

Then I had to pull over to let another trooper, lights flashing, zip by.

I stuck to the speed limit.

Science post of the day

This to-scale representation of the Sun and the planets is eye-opening. You can scroll rather quickly–just watch for the teeny flashes that indicate a planet just flitted past at speed.

Saturn turns up at about the quarter point. Think about that.
