Jan. 10th, 2025 11:45 amCoViD levels (as of 7. Jan.): Ughh, nevermind, back up to like 1400 Bobcat-Robots. Still better than last year, though.
Realm: Public Health - Subrealm: CoViD-19
Jan. 2nd, 2025 08:07 pmCoViD levels (as of Christmas): 1400 Bobcat-Robots.* We are back to masking for practice.
Update, as of 26 Dec.: 1542 Bobcat-Robots. :(
* Again, that's my self-invented unit for "Copies of CoViD RNA per mL of wastewater in the Boston-area North System, as reported at https://www.mwra.com/biobot/biobotdata.htm." (The name was inspired by the Pirate-Ninja + "Trochee Fixation", with a side order of "Package contained bobcat.")

Dec. 16th, 2024 04:03 pmCoViD Levels: went up to like 750 Bobcat-Robots, and then dipped a bit. So who knows what they're doing (besides being high.) Still a bit lower than last year, though.

Dec. 14th, 2024 08:28 amCoViD Levels: 600 Bobcat-Robots, and climbing.
(Though that's still better than last year.)*
Huh, I apparently haven't reported on these in, like, months. Though some of that was because I kept going to https://www.mwra.com/biobot/biobotdata.htm and thinking "yup, still pretty low."
Weather: has been mostly pretty seasonal this week (i.e., cold, with something earlier in the week that was pretty close to being freezing fog)...EXCEPT for Wednesday, when it was unseasonably warm (60s) with high winds and rained buckets. Well, we needed the rain. Although I would have liked to not have it be raining sideways when I was trying to get to practice.
* Levels reported are as of 9 December. For comparison, CoViD Levels were at about 800 Bobcat-Robots as of 7 Dec. 2023, and about 1000 Bobcat-Robots on 5 December 2022.

Dec. 13th, 2024 08:42 amo g-d i just can't all these texts between my neighbors about home improvement
...
I am also not at all ok about the fact that we elected a president whose strategy throughout life, but ESPECIALLY in politics, has been "Do so many outrageously shitty things that everyone gets too exhausted to keep track of them all."

Nov. 21st, 2024 09:16 am...No, I should limit myself to a max. of ONE confusing subculture reference in the group chat at work per day.
ETA: Just blew like fifteen minutes seeing if there was a Symbol in Word for Insular autem.
A: No, there is not. There ARE signs for every archaic Greek letter you've never heard of, and for that one thing in Cyrillic that looks like the Appalachian Trail sign, which (μεν) is cool (δε) makes it extra frustrating that I can't find the h-with-a-tail I was looking for.

Oct. 11th, 2024 10:08 amCoViD Levels: Down slightly (like 380 Bobcat-Robots.)
OTOH, I've been hearing way too many stories about people* getting CoViD of late,** so I'm still being somewhat cautious.
* Random friends of NBSO whom we encountered at Honk, crushacrossthepond, et al.
** Possibly the current strain is just weirdly contagious?

Unfortunately, this means that I have been flat for most of the morning.

Oct. 2nd, 2024 09:37 amWe're in ... probably not quite a drought but we've gotten about 3 cm. of rain in the last month. ETA: OH, NO, that's a drought. Turns out we went 29 days with 0 rain. And then it rained an inch. Two weeks ago.
And meanwhile, North Carolina's flooded by Hurricane Helene, and most of Britain is under flood watches, with more rain expected.
"Celebrity West Oxfordshire farmer Jeremy Clarkson summed up the frustration by posting a string of five expletives followed by the word 'rain'."

Sep. 19th, 2024 01:00 pmNot sure whether I'm actually sick (with something that might be CoViD), or just sick of my job/depressed and drinking too much coffee to try to compensate.
ETA: All signs point to caffeine, etc.
ETA: All signs point to caffeine, etc.
CoViD levels (as of 5 September): Remain stubbornly high (relatively), just under 800 Bobcat-Robots.
