Optimal weather for taking it all down, including the tree, so I did, despite the denunciations from the rest of the household.

Same here. Need to pull the Jeep out of the garage to have room to work, and without a top on the Jeep I don't like doing that in the rain. Supposed to rain tomorrow so we did it today.

Upper 40s and rainy here today.  We're supposed to hit the 70s at the end of the week, though.  That's good winter weather.

I ran today with a sweatshirt and no coat, it was a trifle chilly at first but nice in the sun.  Baseball starts Tuesday, I am psyched.

I also got the IRS to recognize their $11 K tax error, just got word today by mail.  I owe them $333.

A player did hit one out in 2019, I wasn't there to see it, we play on three fields.  I don't think I throw hard enough to have a normalish person hit it out.  I have pitched to the pros in the final game several times, I do "OK", but they are 50ish, every former pitcher has a blown arm except Chris Medlin, he can deal, and does.

Winter is coming: Researchers uncover the surprising cause of the little ice age: Cold era, lasting from early 15th to mid-19th centuries, triggered by unusually warm conditions -- ScienceDaily


New research from the University of Massachusetts Amherst provides a novel answer to one of the persistent questions in historical climatology, environmental history and the earth sciences: what caused the Little Ice Age? The answer, we now know, is a paradox: warming.

Hmm... Changes in the North Atlantic Ocean currents cause an ice age... Who'da thunk it?

Renewable energy provided almost 100% of electricity production, with about 73% coming from hydropower and 27% from geothermal power. Most of the hydropower plants are owned by Landsvirkjun (the National Power Company) which is the main supplier of electricity in Iceland.
