Gravity, sky navigation, and mythopoeia
Sep. 10th, 2006 11:59 pmHigh today, here: 16. Dewpoint then: 5. High dewpoint: 6.
High today in TO: 17. Dewpoint then: 6. High dewpoint: 7.
In front of me and a bit to the right, it is either 22.4 or 22.8. The receiver succeeds in picking up a signal from the sensor only so long as they are more or less contiguous. I'm guessing the problem is interference. I wonder if I should worry that we're being microwaved. Having the two things next to each other has confirmed that the remote sensor gives relative humidity readings 12-13 percentage points lower than the main unit; presumably the main unit is right, or at least much closer. The temperature difference ranges from +0.1 to -0.5; probably a real difference of -0.2 or so, not enough to worry about.
Got down to -2 in Bancroft last night, according to the Environment Canada bot--so maybe a glaze of ice on the puddles, along with frost on the pumpkins.
I'm just about resolved to end my career in yahoo fantasy sports, unless I can manage somehow to quit getting worked up about it on a daily basis. (Today seems to have been another disaster, but the whole season seems to have been treading water with intermittent disasters--and yet I'm still hanging in there, within striking distance of the lead. There's some kind of basic error there.) It's anti-baseball, dagnabbit.
