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

If it occasionally sounds like we are being invaded by the Black Sheep Squadron in Moorpark/Simi Valley over the next few weeks... maybe! https://local.nixle.com/alert/11002521/

There are some new comments on my in blog post on @kb6nu blog. I'm not sure if something happened to re-surface this conversation, but I am happy people are engaging with it.

Even "Joe" who threatens me to "support straight christain hetero males and females… we are the majority that pay to keep the arrl alive…remember that !"

So much hatred and aggression out there.

ai6yr,

@bud_t @kb6nu And you wonder why people who don't fit into those categories don't feel welcome in the radio clubs, LOL

ai6yr,

@rustoleumlove WBGT issues being an issue in the US in the next few years will be scary, as they were talking about that being decades away only recently.

So it appears that "health spa" in town was not a health spa. 🤔 https://nixle.us/FKH4R

ai6yr,

@me_valentijn I think the US is still too religiously dominated (despite the entire hypocrisy of their leadership) to make that happen.

Wow, not only did they know about the connection between fossil fuels and climate change before I was born....and did fuck all about it, but they also knew about PFAS and the human body before I was born.......and did nothing about it.

Cheers guys, 'yay capitalism' all that yeah? 😡

Too funny. Can’t make this up.

Currently if King County WA needs to produce an evacuation map they only do so as a PDF. County emergency management (EM) staff says it would be very expensive to have county GIS staff produce an interactive evacuation map.

I volunteered to write data conversion code (geojson > kmz) so King County WA could use Google maps as an interactive evacuation map.

EM staff says policy prohibits them from using outside help that is not officially approved. So I contacted county procurement asking how I can get approved as a volunteer consultant. See pic for their reply.
🙄 🤦‍♂️

ai6yr,

@mappingsupport LOL the cluelessness of government sometimes has no bounds.

ai6yr,

@shonin @mikemccaffrey LOL arguably "will Orlando Florida be cool enough to operate year round in 18 years" is a valid question, although I suppose with enough money "air conditioning the exterior of Disney World" as a possible, expensive option.

ai6yr,

@mrpieceofwork @CStamp Wow! Glad you got through it okay... did not think of "change of clothes after sweating for 4 days" as a heat/humidity/power outage thing to prepare for...

ai6yr,

@mrpieceofwork @CStamp (noting that I have lived in dry climates all my life, and once went to Houston after a hurricane with ONLY ONE PAIR OF BLUE JEANS for several days).

ai6yr,

@mrpieceofwork @CStamp They were rather nasty after day one and I sincerely apologize to whoever had to sit next to me on the plane ride back.
