Not sure how much I can post. Now my iPhone is slow. Via McBrien:

…waiting for the Sandoval hearing to begin, despite the tragedy that unfolded earlier this afternoon just outside the courtroom.

As Merchan said earlier, "We've come too far in this trial to jeopardize it now."

One of my classes has their final projects due at 11:59pm tonight and the ramp-up of more and more frantic student emails is really depressing.

They had to choose topics in February and turn in drafts in March, and yet it seems that most of them didn't actually start until today...not that I was any better as an undergrad, but man it hurts to watch!

@sundogplanets Despite our best efforts, they learn this in high school.

The greatest rewards in teaching are:

Watching the light go on in a student's eyes.

Hearing from former students who got something useful out of your work together.

Having former students surpass anything you've done.

w7fsc,
@w7fsc@mastodon.social avatar

@dangillmor Amen to all of these, especially the last one.

    Personal update for those who are following my house saga:

    Our twins and our agent saw the house. We FaceTimed from Oregon. 👎🏻 Big disappointment. We’ll explore more homes when we get to BC. Not expecting to buy anything this trip.

    Why yes, I am already packed, and yes, we did already walk Hammy.

    I'm bursting out of my skin.

    This could be a huge deal and an unusually lucky break on finding a house... or a total bust.🇨🇦

    Let's concentrate on the lucky break part. We WILL make this happen, and the house WILL be as good as it seems in photos.

    We'll know Saturday night. I'll post Sunday.

    Til then, I'll post from the car when connection's poss. & from hotels.

    I'M SO EXCITED.

    🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

    @Tutanota I use my Tuta email for a specific hobby and things related to it. Do you know what I do not get when I use my browser? Continual random, targeted, or spam ads about the hobby! How can you not ❤️ that, folks? Improves the browsing experience even when you have adblockers running. Thank you!

    To all of you whose wonderful, kind, compassionate words and support have been so helpful, I have sad news: Father In Law passed away. Mr. Laffy just called in tears, but there was a small silver lining… FIL got his final wish and died peacefully in his sleep. That was so comforting for all of us. I can never thank you guys enough for your consistent caring and empathy. You’ve been beyond amazing. ❤️💔

    For those of you following my sad travel saga: We’re near Redding, CA, we can’t get home before tomorrow evening. Father-in-law took a nosedive. He wants to die, is refusing oxygen (he’s under hospice care) & has gone without it for an hour. 🚨Not good. Sister In Law is w him, waiting for nurse to bring morphine for pain. Things looking dire. Just hope we can be there for him in time. SIL is trying to convince him to hang in, take O2. 😰TY for listening. ❤️Losing connection 👋🏼

    forecast: " The atmospheric set up
    for the latter half of next week also looks to have similarities
    to the conditions on July 28, 1995 that led to Phoenix reaching
    121 degrees and Yuma hit 124 degrees. ...this should go down as one of the longest, if not the longest duration heat wave this area has ever seen. In fact, both the GEFS and EPS do not show an end to this heat wave as it goes through the entire 360 hour run. "

    @pjtn @ai6yr Just looked at Tucson weather to see what I'm coming back to after 2 week vacation in the Midwest. Ouch. At least my solar panels are helping, but they are not at their most efficient in 100+ heat.
