I slept in until 9 AM before waking; I had a long day yesterday. Nevertheless, of late, I have adopted a fairly regular sleep schedule, motivated in part by the sun shining through my window and skylight.
An interesting subject that emerged in conversation with Audun on the way to the Park-O: the "
Starbucks Rule" for Wind Turbine construction. I'm unsurprised that such correlations are apparent, though I'm confident there are sufficiently many other factors correlated with the existence of Starbucks that you could call the rule practically anything. It just so happens that the not-in-my-backyard resistance to the aesthetic of wind turbines is strongly correlated with urban areas of particular socio-economic flavor. I am curious to see the data on the measurement of the NIMBY distribution across the country and how that value was quantified. Nevertheless, it's a fascinating heuristic.
An update from the Park-O - my bruise is improving; the pain is reduced. It turns out that there is also a bruise at the top of my right thigh that I hadn't noticed. I expect to be active again on Monday or Tuesday at the latest.
For reasons not entirely clear, laughter and humor seem to have a significantly positive effect on our lives. I therefore submit to you some images which made me laugh (more later):
