MA covid numbers down today-very good news!

This old guy running the place taught us and warned us many times-I suspect it happened to him.

Congrats to you and your wife as well! It’s so funny but we always know when it’s time. When my potential 2 day/week gig sent me computer access credentials I pulled the trigger. If that doesn’t pan out-who cares...

Yup. Baptism by fire.

I had a job in college serving beer at (believe it or not) the on campus pub. Learned to tap kegs without getting de-balled in the old school type.

Thank you! I decided to put the papers in....out on 9/30/2020. Several interesting gigs await...maybe taking up 2 days a week. Looking forward to the next chapter.

I vividly remember tops of railroad utility poles blowing down my street. This is about a mile from the tracks in Teaneck,NJ. As an almost 8 year old, it was awesome!

Lol...that’s it? Even my hood had those..

Speaking of risk....keeping my eyes open. We have to visit Chicago and we’ve chosen not to fly....driving. Researched lodging and determined air bnb is safest vs hotel just due to the fact that there is little F2F with anyone aside from your family. We’ll bring disinfectant and return a few days later. Hopefully I can get tested at work (results typically in 24 hours or less) because I don’t at all like working from home and a lot of my stuff can’t be done that way. But if this ramps up as we move indoors I’m out. Otherwise no later than the end of the year. I’m tired!

Disappointed I won’t need to use my chainsaw...

Looks like BOS peak gust so far is 48

Pouring

Same as 20/20 but 20/10 would be something!

You always were lamenting eastern MA getting the goods. You got this one!

Hazel had a gust of 113 in NYC. Similar track.

My friend Tony says big winter incoming....as good a guess as many....

We Hazel lite.....

Hot and humid but the breeze is pretty steady mitigating discomfort and keeping the air clean.

Interestingly enough, these populations have consistently been against F2F school in the fall. Maybe because of their already higher risk and not wanting to increase it? Most lower income people know someone who had a bad covid outcome.

I will too soon enough. Can’t believe I’m giving up this summer for the cause but I’m reaching the end.....

Perks of 20 years of school and 50 years of work.....

Zzzzzz....maybe the tropical threat makes it all right with the world....

First of multiple threats. WAR footing.

So somewhat OT but our daughter had a reasonably lucrative baby sitting gig in this town right on the Canadian border about 40 minutes north of Burlington. Heading up there for her second day the mom says oh btw our last sitter who the kids saw a week prior is sick and positive. Of course neither she nor the kids wore masks indoors the previous day. She called the VT public health department and they told her not to worry. She decided to quarantine and was tested yesterday for the 2nd time since moving there 7/1. Negative results today is a huge relief! She’ll celebrate by climbing Mt Ascutney wIth a friend.

You must have relished January 2020...
