Today's fog
Meanwhile I am listening to music on Internet radio - Radio Memories. A, not so unique, name for an oldies station from Hamburg. Buddy Holly’s music is bouncing its way around the world from their studio via fiber optics and satellite into my computer. Rock on!
More fog
Our friends Don and Diane have installed a new Davis Vantage-Pro 2 weather station at their home in Saint Agatha Maine. After an initial problem with the station’s consol, which was quickly replaced by Davis, everything is in working order and data is being uploaded to Weather Underground every ten minutes.
Cleverly I’ve crossed my Ts and dotted my Is and stuck in assorted punctuation here and there. My college education wasn’t in vain.
