Always happy to read articles by Alex Steffan. #globalwarming

Check out theHEAT map site as described in the Fallows article. It’s a good example of taxpayers' money being used for essential purposes and definitely not going to waste/

James Fallows is a great writer and I always enjoy reading is articles. I’m happy to see that he attended the ESRI conference this year and describes the importance of mapping and once again as he’s done many times before.

Just started using the Calibration controls in Lightroom Classic with excellent results.

#

I’ve become aware of a new social app called Tribel. I downloaded the iPhone app and I suppose I’ll check it out.

#

I just downloaded the latest version of micro.blog for the mac. The first thing I noticed was not being able to resize the main window. Maybe that’s by design. I can resize this editor window, however.

My daughter lives in Seattle, where they are entering a few days of warmer weather. At least it’s some 15 degrees or so cooler than last year’s heat wave and people can cool off at night by opening windows. Last year smoke from the wildfires definitely discouraged the open window option.

I shouldn’t forget that MarsEdit is always available here on the iMac to write and edit micro.blog entries. And it’s such a comfortable environment to produce content in.

Time to update all our Apple devices to the latest OS and hopefully have more secure systems.

I have the Prius a much needed wash today at a Touchless car wash. We actually only have one of these (I think) inside the Atlanta perimeter.

#

We had 8 people view the house today and apparently we also have an offer being developed. Exciting times.

Lots of rain and lightning out there.

We are getting close to the end of Season 2 of “The Umbrella Academy”. Actually there’s only 1 more episode to go.

#

We need to be out of the house for a showing and so what better excuse for a beer.

Not a busy railway line, but I was still making sure nothing was about to sneak up behind me.

He’s definitely echoing how I think of the web. I don’t like paywalls and subscription plans placing obstacles to my reading on the web.

Staging house today for real estate photographer.

#

We lost power this afternoon which is not what you want to happen during an Atlanta summer when AC is a must. It did come back ahead of Georgia Power’s estimate which was good.

I had my annual physical this morning and managed to remember 3 words for a couple of minutes and draw a clock face showing 11:10.
