    If I believe my iPhone weather app, Newport has a worse AQI than Portland this morning. It says 153 here, not sure where it’s measured, though a Purple Air map shows one at 134. I should get a sensor, weather is very local here (like by the block), and it’s super hazy, but I don’t smell smoke. The sunrise picture sure shows it though. #orwx #newportoregon #oregoncoast

    “Verify your age” I used to call the number for the time on a rotary dial phone.

    RE: https://mstdn.ca/@teledyn/116880331271316688 I also had the super power of lacking this mental model for physical phenomena. I excelled in abstract things like electric fields, quantum mechanics, but struggled with regular ol’ mechanics.

    I’m surprised to see these Spirit planes taking up gate space at Logan airport. #boston #spiritshutdown

    Reward for being at the airport this early. And for the predictable being unable to sleep well because an early alarm was set. I’m off to #boston for work this week, then am taking 3 days off at the end of next week. I really need to reset, rest, sleep, and convince my body and brain that a high workload does not mean I need to be in flight or fright mode all the time.

    When in New England … having a local NEIPA from Remnant #beer #boston

    On the advice of the hostess at the place I went last night, I went to Bow Market this evening. More delicious birria tacos, some yummy empanadas, and beer from Remnant Brewing at the source. Dinner of champions. #beer #boston

    Had a few hours to spare before I fly home late this afternoon, so I walked from my Cambridge hotel to Harpoon Brewing via every pier I could go down. Turned a 3 mile walk into a 5.5 scenic route. Enjoying a classic Harpoon IPA before I need to get back to my hotel to head out. #beer #boston

    Two things it took conscious thought to do - realized I could afford the time to actually have a beer at Harpoon if I got a Lyft back to my hotel vs walking back (Harpoon doesn’t open til noon and I had time constraints). Funny it didn’t occur to me at first that I could do anything but walk back. And I actually had a beer indoors unmasked. Rare for me to do that, but Covid levels are at 5 year lows and the beer hall was tall and airy and uncrowded, having just opened.

    Watched Integrity reentry with bated breath. AMAZING mission. This is indeed rocket science.

    Rainy day here + I saw there’s a clothing swap next weekend at the Newport Rec Center = finally motivated to clean out my closet. I don’t need any clothing in the swap, but will donate things that I clearly don’t wear. Everything came out, got evaluated, shelves cleaned, and donations getting laundered. #newportoregon

    No visible sunset tonight, light rain has already come. But my post work walk was quite pretty. This is the calm before tomorrow’s wind and rain. #oregoncoast #newportoregon

    I liked this view of the next two bridges showing between the bottom of the train car and the bridge. #portland
