There’s a travel ban in NYC till noon Monday, also bans in surrounding communities. Out my window I see a few cars struggling up the hill. Nothing’s been plowed yet. A small benefit: it’s blissfully quiet.

What about the battery life?

I wore watches, usually ones from the likes of Walmart, before I started carrying a mobile phone with me. I remember my parent bought me a watch from an old school watch shop when I was in secondary school. But I don't remember ever buying a watch from a proper watch/jewelry store myself. I do not remember any of the brand names; I don't think I have ever worn a watch that carried a well known brand name. I stopped wearing a watch not long after I started carrying a cellphone with me regularly, and have not looked back ever since. I was briefly tempted by the idea of an Apple Watch but ultimately thought it not worth the hassle of carrying "one more thing."

Starling murmuration shot in Ireland: Link to video Loads more on YouTube. Just search for "starling murmurations."

I googled “how much would it cost to build a liveable 3 bedroom 2 bathroom faraday cage.” Google (with all its AI) could not even give me a numerical range; it just tells me that it will be very expensive (with numbers for much smaller/simpler Faraday cages).

I don't think I could because the people are so animated! I'd get very confused. Same with Italians. But I love Italy and admire France.

Were watching Tehran on Apple TV. Another Life on Netflix Recently finished. 11.23.63 and The Travelers both Time travel memes. Very good!

I didn't notice mine had that until I was away from city lights on a vacation. Mine works when they are in "auto" mode and then the brights are turned on. They dimmed just about when I would choose to do the same as I sensed a car coming over an approaching hill.

@wtg Yeah, mine too. It should be covered by snow by tomorrow, but once everything thaws out, I need to get after them early.

The V&A was one of my favourite places in London! I would be interested to visit the storehouse!!

Sarah's reputation has taken a severe nosedive too. Who even knew that was possible?

Doing well. I have one more PT appt that I missed due to an emergency trip to Philly. I have full range of motion and then some. Pretty sure I am right back to where it was before surgery but it might actually bend more than a couple of degrees over baseline. Hyperextension to 3 degrees which is about what a biological knee does. Still swollen and a little sore and stiff at times but overall I am pleased with the outcome so far.

Hammond would be better than Gary. Closer and nicer. Gary is the only place I refused a gig because of where the IT building was and the lack of security in the parking lot. I would have had to carry at work. No thanks.
