Getting play by play from the local airport pickup driver I hired to pick up the relatives, LOL. Crossing fingers this goes well.

@ai6yr Me too. Light exposure, but so many other reasons.

Would the female equivalent of this be sub-4:30 milers? (There is no study about women.)

@ai6yr Then you still might live to be 100 but watch out for objects that might trip you up!

@ai6yr You’d probably be pleasantly surprised at your running fitness, but biking and hiking are just as great. We all find our path.

HRRR saying 9 inches of rain by 11am tomorrow in Lafayette, LA. I wonder how the drainage is there... #flooding #HRRR #LAwx

@ai6yr that’s my husband’s hometown. Terrible drainage. Zero. His father’s roof was blown off in LAST week’s storm. Not good.

@czarbucks @firefly @AE4WX @amyedge @ai6yr Good morning all! Fat Squirrel 1 and very fat finches on the rail this morning with laundry and tub unpacking and printer set up today. Awaiting Mom estate document overnight package (probably 1 of 3) and the notary/fedex fiasco. Have a Great Thursday!

@ai6yr I like what one Republican lawmaker said - (paraphrased) ‘naturally we expect law enforcement to use common sense and not arrest granny.’ Riiiiiiight.

@czarbucks @firefly @AE4WX @amyedge @ai6yr Good morning! No sleep must be in the air this morning. Tried going to bed twice last night and finally said “screw it” and turned on “The Witcher” and broke down boxes. Too early for squirrel feeding so 2d cup of coffee is on the way. Have a GREAT Wednesday!

In honor of Stevie Wonder’s 74th birthday today, enjoy this absolutely jamming rendition of Superstition he performed on Sesame Street in 1973. And don’t miss the little boy in red rocking out up on the staircase 😁

Was discussing the neighbor's insistence that the gardeners kill everything yesterday ("they nuked the yard with Roundup" I said) and now my son is getting Roundup ads on Facebook. Yesterday, I mentioned one of my kids' names (which is very close to a brand) and that brand is being advertised to him, too. (I deleted Facebook long ago and will never load it or any of its software, because of that creepy snooping). I guess his generation just assumes they are being listened to all the time...

@ai6yr I don’t know if you are a podcast guy, but the latest episode of the podcast Search Engine about facial recognition search engines is one of the creepier things I’ve heard lately. Everything is being scraped.

@czarbucks @firefly @amyedge @AE4WX @ai6yr Good morning! Only Fat Squirrel 1 & 2 are manning the rail this morning, with community bird group taking advantage of some sort of buggy feast in the clover pockets on the front lawn. Nice and cool open doors morning. May go foraging for new reading materials downstairs, but am probably on kitchen detail this morning with some sort of clear soup that will take advantage of the ridiculously large bok choy the grocery people substituted for “baby bok Choi”. Have a GREAT Saturday!

@BakerRL75 @czarbucks @amyedge @AE4WX @ai6yr Well. That sounds like a happy morning and nice plan for the day.

I took Dory for a walk at the local park I like, then hit the Farmer’s Market. Will be planting a few things and enjoying as much sunshine outdoors as I possibly can.

I missed the aurora last night. What’s the odds we may have another shot tonight? I’m thinking not.

Update: @BakerRL75 is back relaying severe weather updates, her Internet back online. Note: it's always good to have alternate channels of communications with folks you know through social media.

@ai6yr @BakerRL75 thank you for updating. I was a little worried when she disappeared, but suspected this might be the case. Either that or she took a dinner break!
