OODA Loop reminder: you need to constantly re-evaluate the situation and READJUST your assessment of a situation to fit; if you make a decision at one point in time, that is not a "philosophy" but a decision point at that point in time.

ai6yr,

**For example, at one point, 100% masking, N95 outdoors in a crowd was the RIGHT THING to do. Today? Depends on your personal situation/vulnerability, vaccination status, prior exposure, etc.--and people should be educated enough to make their choice: yes, crowd okay? Do I need to mask? Do I not need to mask? You adjust as the circumstances change. Next week? It may change again!

ai6yr,

** my current stance (which is conservative) is: no masking outdoors, included in crowds; no masking in good air flow stores <10 people and low likelihood of sick people; yes, N95 masking in large stores and in small spaces, and in particular doctor's offices/hospitals/etc.

ai6yr,

** I only mention this after being berated by someone (now blocked) for DARING TO MENTION an outdoor event 🙄

Ha! Figured out how to plot topos of wildfires. https://m.ai6yr.org/

@BakerRL75 Not running live yet, just playing with it.

ai6yr,

@CavedaleRhones Once I get it up and running, it will update anytime there is a new or updated perimeter map issued by NIFC

ai6yr,

@mappingsupport Yep, snagging from ARCGIS as I can pull the latest new data... but yes, FTP could have more recent data (but not as easy to automate).

Busy WX morning in Kentucky!

@MsMerope I imagine. I was monitoring the Blue 2 fire in NM for Watch Duty until fairly late...

Lamppost EV chargers are the answer to how you charge your vehicle in cities.

This is possible because when energy intensive street lamps were replaced by LEDs, there’s excess power for charging EVs.

All cities should do this. ⚡️

@EugestShirley Yikes!

@EugestShirley They're going to need that monsoon to cool things off, for sure.

ai6yr, to cycling

After getting back into bicycling, suddenly realize HOW MUCH of towns here in Southern California are built around cars, and getting cars from place to place (and not so much people). You're so blind to those design choices when you're in a car!

ai6yr,

@ProfT Thanks! Have run across them but haven't dived in deeply yet!
