Writing this BLOG on my phone is okay except no keyboard. On the laptop with Microsoft I get constant requests for passwords to sign in. The BLOG account is Gmail or Android.
New Topic. This is the end of the calendar year. Nothing magic after the new set of annual reminders are in place.
As an example read on.
Yesterday my health care network informed me my May 2026 appointment is cancelled. My fifth primary care physician since April 2024 is now a nurse practitioner.
My aluminum grain scoop shovel and I.
I shovel our fire hydrant, the cluster box area and the bus stop. I get the question, "are you paid?" Once or twice for sure I look way up and say something to the effect, "yes he pays well."
Or a capital H on the HE. I am inside now waiting to rebuild energy. The next development over has a hydrant that I also shovel sometimes. The fire department crew hits it quick, but I have the time and the shovel to follow. Light snow meaning fluffy snow is easier to get it gone. Ready for the next snow that may be wet concrete.
Routine Wednesday today. Next two are an eve or evening before Christmas and New Years. I should be able to post something new on those two days. A tidbit from here, one Wednesday visitor or guest lost a cell phone. No tracking procedure in place so the typical cell provider runaround. Is your tracking APP in place?
The annual letter is one topic our September escape. No follow on travel for three or four months.
Another topic is our BOLT all electric CHEVY. The winter displayed range is near 100 miles under the typical summertime range. The software remembers that we use the heat. The battery sends kilowatts to a resistance device. Clearly keeping warm in the car means shorter range.
And last, my primary care doctor. I have had three since April 2024, and my latest assignee is a nurse practitioner. Any Minnesota off the street person can walk in and be assigned to me. THE END.
At noon, December days seem routine. However, the early dark is waiting.
My diversion this year is to expect and observe as twilight begins the day and departs after sunset. Civil twilight defined as the sun six degrees below the horizon.
In Alaska in the summer civil twilight never gave way to nautical twilight. We could read a newspaper for weeks (middle May to July). Continuous sun above the horizon or less than six degrees below the horizon.
