I was stuck on work calls, so this time T did the bailing of water to avoid a basement flood. Lots of rain! A few miles from here they were doing water rescues (along Sligo Creek, where I used to run before Quarantine). It's been so humid, even this late in Summer, that when it rains it rains a helluva lot here. While the West Coast is burning, we're repeatedly flooding.

The annual review call went fine.

T is taking tomorrow afternoon off and going to a museum downtown. So I'll have a bit of time to self at the house. I think I have too much work right now to take tomorrow afternoon off, so if I'm going to the condo it will be for Saturday night.

One aspect of Global Warming is that we have extreme weather events more often. But environmental scientists and activists warn against thinking what's happening right now is the New Normal. Because it's going to continue getting worse. The extreme weather events of today will be exceeded by even more extreme weather events later this decade, and then even more extreme next decade, until we stop pumping so much CO2 and Methane into the air. It's just gonna keep getting worse.

After years of cooking dinners with the aid of Blue Apron, we quit this week. The meals are still great, I still enjoy making them, but their quality control sucks now. Almost every week we get at least one meal that is missing at least one ingredient. It happened last week, it happened again this week, it happened a few weeks ago -- every time we're missing an ingredient T complains, but now we're done. I shouldn't have to go to the grocery store every week to purchase a missing ingredient for a service that is supposed to be making things easier.
We're going to try some trial deals with some other meal kit companies. Really my only complaint about Blue Apron is that whoever is packing the boxes isn't double checking to make sure everything is there. Almost every week.
