Livestreaming an execution?

 

 

The FBI has a Violent Crime Section.

 

“If an actual murder, kidnapping, or physical assault is recorded and distributed, the FBI investigates the case as a violent crime, homicide, or civil rights violation.”

 

Just saying…

 

 

Two cars

 

 

Comfortably tucked in.

 

Just the right amount of room between them.

 

But now that we can get them both in side by side, we can see how much the carport roof doesn’t fully cover the outside car.  Now that the support has been extended, it’s time to extend the carport roof out that extra distance as well.  That will finish up the job properly.

 

The Gateway Arch

 

 

From a post in the way.

 

 

To wide open.

 

An east west beam to support the north south beam, and the bothersome post is gone.

 

Plenty of room for two cars side by side.  Perfectly functional.

 

And now that it’s built, we can see exactly what else to do to make it just right.

 

Another milestone

 

 

The weather forecast

 

Every day, less than 90 degrees.  Seems like we just hit our first forecast for every day below triple digits!  But another sure sign of fall.  Some thunderstorms, and (relatively) cooler weather.

 

Poof

 

 

Three days ago we had swarms of hummingbirds.  We were refilling feeders every day.  Suddenly, now, barely a bird.  One or two here and there.  There are still a few ruby-throated migrants, but not very many.  As migrants, they might hang around for a few days, or even a week each, but eventually they move on.  Even though they don’t flock, they don’t travel as a defined group, they might still arrive or leave together.  That seems to be what happened.  They all got the same idea at the same time, and poof.

 

 

 

Words of Wisdom

 

 

If you’re going to throw deep, don’t send a short receiver downfield.  The farther away they go, the smaller they get.  Send a 6”2, 6’4” receiver with a bigger catch radius.

The deluge

 

 

It happened right after yesterday’s photo.

 

 

A neighbor’s rain gauge recorded four inches of rain in the next hour or so.

 

Right at the same time as this photo, it turns out there was an Amazon delivery.  There might sometimes be an Amazon delivery van, but Amazon also contracts with various private drivers to make their deliveries, so there is no consistency for who shows up with the packages.  Rather than having inexperienced people driving all around the park trying to find lot numbers, there is an Amazon delivery box inside the park at the office.  We’re gated, so to get inside and access the delivery box, the driver has to stop at the gate, punch the button to call the office, and the office will trigger the gate to open.  Once inside, the driver puts each delivery for the day in the delivery box, snaps a photo to document the deed, and leaves.

 

Apparently, the office didn’t pick up for this driver’s call yesterday, so the driver faced a conundrum.  I have deliveries to make.  The gate won’t open.  What to do?  Delay the delivery and try again the next day?  No.  Different decision.  This is the photo we got to announce our Amazon delivery.

 

 

All the deliveries for that day.  Piled on the ground at the foot of the call box.

 

 

Moments before the deluge.
