Slow down!
This afternoon, the noise level is “up”. Construction, with the vibration/percussion tools, can easily make my little sound meter climb into the +85dB range. No earbleed, but no napping either. Progress comes with a number of different payment requirements. One good thing about our renos is that they shouldn’t have to be redone, at least within my lifetime. The kids: their choice.
It’s a shame that we allow politicians to make so many important choices for us. Right now, a number of provinces are yielding to the nudges from the business class, and reopening far too many things to the public. Meanwhile, infection rates are heading into “the red zone”. At some point, we’re going to end up with a public that is too ill to profit from the decisions.
There are some precedent setting things here. Newfoundland is moving (really quickly) to a mail-ballot delivery system for their elections. Not a future campaign; the one currently underway. Too difficult to find poll workers in the danger zone. As well, all provincial schools are going to online delivery. This in a province where folks literally live like limpets on the Rock (very tough people!) As someone who lives on a neighbouring island, I really hope our “leaders” are paying close attention. Tourists are important, but not if the welcome mat requires people to die.
Just read an article about the move to heat large apartment blocks using geoexchange systems. Hey, I hear you! We’re moving into year seven with our two-hole, one exchanger system. It works, well. No cold toes for this lad.
