I took a run out to the store and saw a work truck that had hit a telegraph poie at the end of our road. The truck was absolutely wrecked. Hope the driver was okay. No ambulance, just a cruiser so I expect they weren't hurt. . The pole was somehow still standing.

The last time this happened the pole did not make it and our power was out for five hours.

I don't understand. It's just a DE.

Went to cumberland just inside the MD border. The eldest wanted to see it - it is a railroad town - I would very much like to come back when it isn't so diabolically hot.

Such an utterly unforgiving and hard world is #F1 not many other fields where your replacement dangles over you like Damocles

Also discovered my blind spot warning system triggers when turning left in a 2-lane intersection (because the turn signal is on and a car is in the adjacent lane In the detection zone) It's logical behavior, but a bit alarming before you understand it.

There's 1.5 miles of road through a park I have to take due to road closures on the way to work. Right in the city. Here's a weird thing: Nobody speeds. They speed everywhere else, but not this little oasis. I like to think because it looks so tranquil everyone just slows down to enjoy it.

I am sure they are but they're owned by IBM that doesn't understand any of it.

Found a very sick bee on entry paving. It enjoyed a little sugar water (was thirsty) but sadly did not survive. The kids were very upset, they were really rooting for him.

"Due to the sensor being obscured the car no longer has brakes. This feature was added in build 2028 patch 1.51"

The funniest thing is it covers all the optical sensors so it screams at me for five minutes warning that the safety systems are disabled.
