Back from Schenectady.

Weather: Was in the 60s for a bit?!?

CoViD Levels (as of 10 Feb.): Down to 400 Bobcat-Robots.

Meantime, simultaneously appreciate and DEEPLY HATE the fact that Duolingo unapologetically teaches you the idiot-level workaround to avoid learning the complexities of Welsh grammar.

CoViD Levels: Went down, bounced up again, currently (well, as of 1/27) at 700 Bobcat-Robots.

CoViD levels (as of 9. Jan.): Still going up?!? Shit.
(1500 Bobcat-Robots)

CoViD 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.")

CoViD 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.

CoViD 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?

Not 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.

CoViD levels (as of July 22): Down slightly, but still about 800 Bobcat-Robots.

Which helps to explain how I got exposed to it yesterday.

COVID Levels (as of 5 June) : Back up to just above 600 Bobcat-Robots, crap.
