So, yeah. I’m on the east side of St. Paul and I’m lucky not much has come close to me. But I started to cry when I saw this advice on screen.

Here is the full list

  • Be off the streets at 8:00 p.m.
  • Be aware of suspicious activities/groups
  • Be aware of large gatherings
  • Call 911 if you are witnessing suspicious activity
  • Remove anything from your lawn that could be flammable or a projectile through a window
  • Store dumpsters in your garage or move to hidden area in back yard. Consider wetting down the inside contents if they have to be left outside in view.
  • Keep LIGHTS ON and some windows open to hear noises that may be approaching. (use caution with windows that may be easily asked from the ground)
  • Have an escape plan and a to-go bag (remember to take along any medicines you may need)
  • If you need to be outside wear headlamp, bright colors and reflective clothing
  • Charge cell phones. Cell towers might go out
  • Have alternative ways to communicate with your neighbors and help them to make a plan in case things do get bad.
  • Have garden hoses ready and untangled for possible use.
  • Check your flood lights; door lights; KEEP THEM ON.
  • Soak down wood fences and surfaces
  • If you have a Little Free Library-empty it.
  • If you have a fire extinguisher-get it ready
  • Check on each other-especially older neighbors, and the vulnerable.
  • For those who choose to stand outside, watching homes or businesses, do not confront anyone. Call 911, call another neighbor to be with you.

MPD 3rd Precinct is on fire folks

If you are thoughtful, and you want to understand why, you can find the answer. The work is to accept your own responsibility.

My head is pounding. I’ve had personal epiphanies so now I have more work to do. I want to binge on carbs but that would make me hate myself more than usual. I’m going to take some Tylenol.

Skeleton crew today is even more skeleton-y because of folks taking extra time-off for the holiday. Usually there’s at least one other person on my floor. Today, it appears to be just me.

The delivery guys did come. The original window was between 10 and 2, later revised by email this morning to 10 and 1. Arrival time was a prompt 3:30.

I didn’t get up early enough. A can of Coke is fine for the boost, but doesn’t taste like coffee with half and half.

This is assuming I understand anything, but I think it would be cool if the Apple Home app could also push updates to Apple TV units.

It’s hard to remember to put on a face mask every time I walk away from my desk at work. Muscle memory is hard to overcome. I’m not saying I have it bad, only that I’m frustrated with my own ability to change.
