The past two days haven’t been very conducive for me to be working on the Census! However, tomorrow is forecast to be the first day of a warming and fair weather trend. I’m looking forward to that trend with a lot of enthusiasm.

Meanwhile, I need a way to be able to see what’s happening with things over at mother’s house in Soda Springs. Maybe I need to take a webcam over and set it up. I think I could control it remotely as I have remote access to her computer. Today her phone stopped working, but helping her get it reset without being actually able to see what’s going on with the phone was impossible. That’s rather frustrating!

Today’s program at my Rotary Club had to do with our drinking water which all comes from an aquifer under the city. The aquifer is apparently quite unique and was formed when Lake Bonneville broke out, leaving the Great Salt Lake behind. I really learned a lot and understand our water resource much better. This is information that needs somehow to be available to the folks who live here. I’m not sure how that would happen. The presenter has given this presentation to the County Commissioners, the Pocatello City Council, and the Chubbuck City Council and all three were very pleased to have the education. There’s way too much of this kind of interesting stuff that needs to become much more accessible.

There’s a Japanese astronaut on the International Space Station who, using the Twitter name of Astro_Soichi, is sending out tweets from the Space Station with pictures he’s taken out the new view port that was recently installed on the station. These pictures are quite amazing. Twitter continues to be a significant source of news and information for me.

And, another day comes to a close. TTFN!
