– Interesting week. Lot’s of ups and downs, but in the the end, more ups than downs.
The dominant part was definitely my Orientation at NMFF; this is going to be the most serious job I’ve had to date, partly in the sense that the training / benefits / expectations are more comprehensive and sharply defined than anywhere I’ve worked before.

Diary: The Dog Days. The Fourth of July. Other adventures.
Yesterday was the first of the dog days, by the Old Farmers Almanac’s definition: The 40 days between July 3rd and August 11th coinciding with the heliacal rising of Sirius, the dog star. Sirius does not rise at this time anymore, due to the precession of the equinoxes.
