    Re: Post Race!

    I made it home this weekend and got my camper setup.

    My 30 amp plug didn't quite make it to my plugin and so I had to plug into a normal plugin with a converter. I didn't realize that the plugin was faulty from the hurricane and it caused a hot connection to the camper. At first it shocked my son trying to open the camper and then it shocked me when I was walking barefoot down the metal steps. It was so bad that I blacked out and came to on my butt on the ground. I had some pretty nasty chest pain and a splitting headache.

    The first thing I did yesterday was drive to Metairie because it was the closest place I could find a 30 amp extension chord.

    We're as dry as you are wet.

    Irrigation water was turned off a couple weeks back. That happens around this time of year, though it may have happened a few weeks earlier than normal this year due to how low the reservoirs have gotten. Normally, we start getting rain, so irrigation isn't so necessary. This year, though....things are starting to look decidedly dry.

    The 10 day forecast shows rain everyday here.

    We need to figure out teleportation so that we can teleport the rain from here to there.

    One of the oddities of the west is that the southwest, like New Mexico and Arizona, tend to get the bulk of their annual precipitation in summer monsoon storms. The northern states, like Idaho, tend to get the bulk of their annual precipitation in the winter.

    Do you mean that you hate development for mobile devices, or that you hate developing while YOU are mobile. After all, you've been seeming pretty unsettled, of late.

    That’s a good point. I’d say I hate the former and tolerate the latter.

    What are you using for mobile?

    I used Cordova in VS for a tablet application, but MS removed Cordova support after VS2017, so that's out.

    Angular/Ionic/Cordova.

    The client I'm doing this for is responsible for the API which is causing some bottle necks on my end, but really the pain lies with trying to debug via Android Studio and XCode.

    A long time ago I used Eclipse for an Android app. Is that even a thing any longer?

    I saw an eclipse a couple years ago. That was cool.

    In fact, it was downright cold. The temperature must have dropped twenty degrees during the totality.

    I drove seven hours to Hopkinsville, Kentucky to watch it. The temp didn't drop much at all there. It took me over 12 hours to get home after an emotionally unstable truck driver intentionally crashed her truck in Elizabethtown, KY then a huge pileup closed I-71 between Cincinnati and Columbus.

    Total Solar Eclipse of August 21, 2017

    The next total eclipse is supposed to pass directly over Cleveland, but it will be on April 8, 2024 and we rarely see the sun here between mid-October and late April.

    That was a bad video. It didn't even begin to capture what happened. For one thing, it took hours. The moon doesn't move THAT fast. Furthermore, the camera used for that video wasn't capable of capturing the scene. That video makes it look like the sun becomes a smaller, but still round, light in the sky. That wasn't the case at all. During the totality, there was a freaky black hole in the sky, not a round, though smaller, light.

    It was just my GoPro laying in the grass then sped up to 8x normal speed. LOL

    Were you at totality? That 'small sun' looks like you weren't quite at 100%. The sun is so bright that even a percent or two off would leave enough light to overwhelm the sensor.

    I wouldn't have driven seven hours to only get to partial totality. That's why I chose to go to Hopkinsville.
    GoPro cameras automatically adjust the aperture for low light conditions and they are really not meant for this type of videography. I got much better still photos of the eclipse using my Nikon D3300 on a tripod. The GoPro video was just an afterthought.

    I was in a 90% one time. It was just a bit north of Cincinnati, and I guess it had to be in 94. It was pretty cool, because I was out in the deciduous forest. The gaps in the leaves turned into camera obscura, and projected little crescents on the ground. The day felt 'off', though not dark, but a forest full of crescent sun spots was interesting to see.

    May 10, 1994. I watched it from my dad's driveway in suburban Cleveland and it was about 90% as well. I know what you mean by the "off" feeling. Usually you can look in the general direction of the sun, but that day it hurt just to glimpse the annular eclipse out of the corner of my eye. I didn't see the crescents in the tree shadows that time as I was out in the open, but I did see it in 2017 under a small maple tree. It was something I was not expecting, but very cool to see.

It should have been a turnover on downs giving the Browns the ball at the LA 41 yard line, instead it gave LA the ball at the Browns' 26 against their already gassed defense who should have been off the field. The officiating in that game could not have possibly been worse if the game was fixed.

    It doesn't matter because the Browns are going to win their division, but not take the top seed...which is certainly looking like it will go to the Bills.

    Well, OK, if the Browns are going to go and get their ENTIRE team injured, then I guess they won't be winning the division....but otherwise they could have.

    I am currently losing this week in fantasy football to my 7 year old son who insisted on drafting Joe Burrow as his number 1 pick. The only way I can win now is if his defense gets negative points. Who is his defense you ask? Oh, it's the Buffalo Bills.

    My son is also number 1 in our league.
