A good deal of translation...
Aug. 12th, 2017 08:35 amIt's good that some jobs are coming in now, because things are going to get interesting about the middle of this coming week, and it sure will be pleasant to send out an invoice at the end of the month that will cover more than utilities and food.
Natalie and Kyle report an inability to find eclipse-viewing glasses anywhere in Calgary. I suggested hitting up welding supply places for #14 welding filters, but I get the feeling that ain't gonna happen.
Yesterday, by the way, I found the same absence of gear in Houston—stuff is plumb sold out (and has been, for a while I am told). I'm pretty sure the dearth of such glasses both here and there is due to people buying them so they can view what they can from home, though I am still wondering what the situation will be on the ground as one geographically approaches the path of totality on August 21. Will Interstate 25 heading north out of Denver be a bumper-to-bumper parking lot? (I'm holding on to the idea that the answer to said question will depend on just how early one leaves Denver.)
Online sources for eclipse gear are also back-ordered. I placed a Prime order yesterday through Amazon that's slated to arrive in Colorado (with overnight shipping, no less!) on the 18th. That gives me at least one day of leeway in case of any delay, and a reason to cross my fingers.
Most of the day was spent translating some incomprehensibly large amount of text. I hope to clear my plate tomorrow and to make additional progress with cleaning up the junk in my office.
Cheers...
