You should read this blog.

Because why wouldn't you? Especially since in this post, I will attempt to share something of meaning, along with the random musings. Soooo. What did I learn today? Not a whole lot in terms of concrete facts, I'm afraid. I did scan and enter over sixty photographs into the database, so there is at least a concrete number. Wheeee!

I also made a really great list of things to take for the upcoming weekend, which is Norah's birthday in Niagara-on-the-Lake. From the looks of it, I'll be taking a U-Haul. Must streamline. Comments would be welcome on how best to do this. And no, just not taking any clothes will not work for me, or any of my nine fellow guests.

This would probably be the time to comment on the G20 and its aftermath. I was away from my apartment for most of the time, and I understand that all the setting alight of police cars and so on happened some blocks from here, but it was pretty wild when we were more or less evacuated yesterday from work because of a planned protest at a city agency on the same street. (Trying to be cryptic here. I have no idea if my workplace Googles itself, but if it did, it would probably hit on its name here. And then Emily would have to do a media clipping just like she does for legitimate news. And then I would scan it, and we would database it, and that would be just crazy.)

I am really looking forward to meeting someone from a protest group, so I can get perspective on the issues from different standpoints. Then I will add that to my novel, along with context and statistical analysis.

Okay. Enough thoughts. Fact time. I was very excited to learn that a conservator that I respect is starting to recommend a broader range of acceptable rH levels for collections storage and management. If this means nothing to you, think of it in terms of the environment. If we can have as much as 5-10% higher humidity, that means wayyy less air conditioning, and then everybody wins!
