Monday 14th 32F, still dark at 8am but the sky is clear and ready for some windy sunshine. Venus is fiercely brilliant in the SW as the sky begins to brighten with a tobacco filter effect.
In braking[sic] news, Cadillac announces an electric traction engine with a vast, 1950s, radiator grill designed to do maximum damage to pedestrians.
In other, braking news, Americans are more likely to die from an overdose than to die than on the roads.
I enjoyed a windy walk in bright sunshine up to the woods and back along the field edges. Don't be tempted by 'outdoor' jackets with a vent across the back. They feel cold in windy weather and do nothing to keep you cool. Under-arm vents are far more useful. As is leaving the jacket open when not actively required.
Tuesday 15th 38F, dark grey and cool. Only a light westerly wind today but rain and more wind is forecast. Just a short, 40 minute walk to the lanes. It stayed dry but dark grey. The rain came later.
Wednesday 16th 43F, mild, dark grey and breezy with rain and more wind forecast for this afternoon. Brexit is officially Broxit. Women and children into the lifeboats first, please!
I hear Nike has invented self lacing sports shoes for people who are too fat or lazy to bend over. What's next? Self zipping jogging suits for the chronically obese? Isn't that like voluntarily "fat shaming" yourself?
YouTube is pretending to remove videos of dangerous stunts, pranks and challenges. US teenagers are dropping like flies from eating detergent or jumping off buildings while blindfolded. While others are dropping like lead balloons from energy drinks, self-abuse.
It seems they [YT] can't hire enough iSlaves in Africa and India to monitor their [YT's] own content. Income is so low for iSlavery that even the homeless poor can't afford to work for the trillion dollar IT companies. When they, the iSlaves, would be better off foraging for food on the waste tips for 20 hours a day.
The same iSlavers use iSlaves in piss poor countries to monitor and micro manage road mapping for self driving cars too, apparently. It must be nice to think of yourself as a hereditary IT monarch. Chosen by god [or the Segovia Devil] to be in charge of Google, Facebook or Amazon.
Just imagine what could be done with the hundreds of millions in "severance" payments paid to managers for being over-active perverts or bullies? A bit of "local severance" would have worked wonders with this scum.
It stayed dry for my morning walk as I struggled to capture the drab greyness of it all. I saw a tight flock of 40-odd Goldfinches foraging restlessly in the roadside hedges. My TZ7 camera has developed another, large, dirt spot on the sensor. So I shall have to dismantle it again to save having to disguise its presence on every image with a bit of sky. It's exhausting, this digital photography stuff.
