That is bizarre. I’d be afraid if it was my car that bus hovered over.

Remember the old game Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles? The gist of it was that its a co-op game where one player holds a bucket and any other players who stray too far from the bucket bite the bullet.
I just played that in real life: I was out with some friends who are hooked on Pokemon Go but their phones didn’t have service while my phone, which is too old to Pokemon, did so I had to enable a wifi hotspot.

Hmm…I wonder if all the coupons that they send me for $10 off are still good.
So, I don’t do Facebook or any social media that isn’t work related for that matter.
In the meantime a crowdsource group takes on a team of professional programmers. Where’d I put the microwave popcorn?

There are similar “Misters” at several locations in the Universal Orlando park and at Disney World. It can attest that they do work and work well.

I would love to see some of those rest areas with the misters out on plain streets. Especially now - another heat wave!
Today was a break from a heat wave from us. Because it rained. It’s been unusually dry here… and I think it started before winter, which would explain why we didn’t have much snow.

Same with me. The rain and cooler breeze has been great today. Days like this are when it’s best to air out the house.

We’ve settled into a typical Florida pattern with cool mornings, warm to hot by afternoon and clouds leading to cooling storms in the evening.
On the computer front, parts are coming together to build a new system for my son the graphic artist. Much of the equipment is being sent by various internet friends of his which has cut down the cost to assemble by quite a bit.
