I really do not want a repeat of April 19, 2023 as that day was insane here.

Seeing what is happening around Amarillo, I hope we only get rain here and not all the tornados.

An interesting turn of events. I did not expect to be in a SVA today.

First day of senior year. Exciting to be a senior, a little bit horrified about finding jobs.

Which is definitely not a fully functional FS 2001, probably an FS eclipse 8 which is just 8 square horns on an 8 port stator. The one on south main is a FS Modulator similar to the image that looks like a stack of mentos on s stick

I could hear a lower pitched siren that sounded like it wasn't rotating

Aidan Paoletti @aidanabwx.skyhighcreators.com · 04/06/2026
Sounds like the sirens you heard where likely made by Federal Signal. One of them was definitely a FS 2001-130, another one is likely a FS Eclipse-8, and maybe a FS Modulator

Just found out that my favorite local sushi restaurant permanently closed two weeks ago. The most friendly staff you could ever have and some of the best sushi I have ever had. It was also the place I got introduced to sushi.

Two 8 am final exams this week, two days in a row starting tomorrow. Cloud Physics and Dynamics 2, both of which I need to pass. Wish me luck on these exams.

I can see why many businesses along Main Street are struggling. People buy stuff, not cars. Cars are also why cities in this country are loud. It makes Main Street feel unsafe and stressful. A car-free Main Street would be amazing for everyone.

I just found out that the downtown part of Norman's Main Street is as wide as one direction of I-35. A road that size is not conducive to foot traffic. I have seen so many cars use it as a thoroughfare, a way to get places. That's car traffic, not foot traffic.

For something as nation spanning as the Interstate Highway system and the National Airspace System, you would think that the rail infrastructure would be owned by governments

The total lunar eclipse of March 3, 2026 during maximum eclipse at 5:33 AM CST. Imaged as a stack of 56 exposures to reduce noise. While not shown in the photo, this eclipse seemed a bit darker than last year's, and the umbral shadow had no blue rim this time.

The plane held for a few minutes before diverting to Grand Junction due to low fuel, as it was a smaller regional jet. I was stuck in the plane for an hour and a half as it was getting refueled, along with many other diverted planes. After that, we took off back to Denver and landed.
