Weather cancellation again. The weather is quite unpredictable here. We are going to try again Tuesday. Rumor has it that we will fly Thursday. Who knows. We celebrate Thanksgiving down here on Saturday so we can have two days off in a row. During the summer season we get three two-day weekends. One of these is for Thanksgiving. The other two are for Christmas and New Year's.
California, Berkshire NY, Baltimore Maryland and Washington DC
I am back from a speaking engagement at a familiar conference (CIDM) in San Jose California. Afterwards, I met Angie at the ATL airport and headed to the farm and to see my cousins, Aunt and Sister (and my newest relative) in Baltimore and Washington DC. It was a densely scheduled trip, but nothing compared to our typical overseas vacation trips. I have been having educational fun with my recent birthday gift. It is a Radiacode 103. It is a very sensitive scintillation radiation detector. Loads of fun. The 1k µS/hr spike shown is what the carry on baggage x-ray machine doses out. I am glad I wasn't inside the x-ray equipment. Stopping at some antique stores along the way, I found a number of uranium glass pieces. Yes, they are radioactive. Yes, the dose is comparable to that you get from riding in a commrecial airplane. I took a couple of pics of property in Upstate NY. Un believable. It will beat out images of the best trailer trash anywhere. And yes, the vehicles are systemic...
