We’ll be out of town for the eclipse (a journey I’m going on with extreme trepidation given the predictions of traffic, but we’re going nonetheless) so our thermostats will be in away mode, but I wanted to know more so I clicked the, “TELL ME MORE” option to find:
So I selected, “COUNT ME IN”. That’s a lot of solar panels. It’s pretty cool to know even our thermostats are getting excited about the solar eclipse. Or maybe I mean prepared? I suppose it’s both.
The Big Boy Update: My son has really been enjoying playing Minecraft this summer. He is very good at it and since it’s a creative environment where he builds structures using blocks similar to what you’d do with Legos, it’s been interesting to watch what he comes up with. Today he built a house on the edge of a lake including a swimming pool at the edge of the water. As he was showing me around his house he said, “and now I have to go add a hot tub.”
The Tiny Girl Chronicles: My daughter has been climbing the door frames and hanging from the top of the door jambs. She can do this on all three floors but it’s most impressive on the main floor, or perhaps most scary, because there we have ten-foot ceilings. This evening I noticed blood around one of the doors and realized she’d done it so much she had worn the skin on the tip of one her fingers down to the point it was bleeding. After cleaning up blood from around three doors (needing a chair to get to the high parts) I told her no more climbing until we got home from the trip. She cried for ten minutes. I’m not sure if she was more upset about the bleeding finger or being told she had to stop climbing.
