    Just finished course 7 out of 8. When I'm finished, I'll send in all the completion certificates and request that today be a paid training day.

    1. A right-wing sheriffs group that challenges federal law is gaining acceptance around the country
      from AP News
      A national group of sheriffs that claims the top law enforcers in American counties are not bound by federal law has successfully spread its doctrine to dozens of states in recent years.

    Next course is an EEO course. If they just talked about it in general terms and said whom to contact in case of any issues, it would be good. But they say "the Blah Blah act of 1867 requires these specific things" and then test you on whether you remember the specific law that requires something.

    That's idiotic. I need to know the requirements and how to comply ... put all that extra stuff in an optional "for further information" page.

    #NOAA / #NHC:

    * Tropical Depression 6 ( #TD-6 ) became #TropStorm #Gert, and is now a depression again, expected to fizzle out today.
    * Tropical Storm #Emily has now fizzled out into a remnant low
    * Tropical Storm #Franklin is expected to cross Hispaniola ( #Haiti and Dominican Republic #DR )
    * #PTC-9 expected to become #TD-9 and then #TropStorm before arriving in southern #TX / northern #Mexico
    * Former #hurricane and #TropStorm #Hilary is now a post-tropical cyclone and expected to dissipate today.

    Busy, busy time. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

    3rd course. There's supposed to be 8 hours of coursework. I don't know if I'm going to make it. $EMPLOYER's mandatory courses are so dry and uninteresting ... and often devoid of any real value except as "you took the course, so you knew better, now we can punish you".

    Doing some mandatory training for $EMPLOYER today. The first course already seems like an all day thing, but that's just because it is BORING.

    I haven't thought VR (virtual reality) or AR (augmented reality) was the wave of the future, because of the cost of the required equipment and the way the various goggles and glasses look to others.

    It's one thing if you're in your home playing a 3D game. It becomes quite different if you're going out into the world wearing ugly and obviously expensive glasses / goggles.

    It is now quiet. No wind, no rain. I think the storm has passed us. We may get a rain band or two later, but I think we're unscathed.

    The center of the storm seems to have passed us. Wind gusts have diminished and are coming from the south. Flash flood alert continued until 04:00.

    Some wind gusts now, coming from an eastward direction. A little standing water in the yard, but not in a damage-causing way.

    I also learned that her long-term best friend moved from #MO to #CA, so they won't celebrate $FRIEND's birthday together for the first time in five or six years.

    I was in a #videochat with #GD2 when the Ojai quake alert came. It warned 5.5 magnitude quake near Ojai. Shaking heading your way. Take cover now!

    But I (correctly) believed that an M5.5 quake in Ojai is too far away to pose any danger here. But we did get to talk about earthquakes and tropical storms (and about her 4 year old cousin #GS3, who is very interested in weather).

    Flooding and road closures reported in Little Rock / Phelan area ( #SR-138 and #SR-18 ), Victorville, Apple & Lucerne Valleys ( SR-18 ), Thousand Palms ( multiple streets flooded ), Barstow ( #I-15 ), Arcadia ( #I-210 ).

    Locally, we have an emergency alert for flash flooding recently sent out over cellular phones.

    I haven't gone out, so I haven't seen any flooding.

    #USGS reports M5.1 #earthquake in #SoCal town of Ojai ( #Ventura_County ). Original alert (sent during the shaking) said M5.5 and said to take cover immediately.

    Pager is green for minimal economic losses and no estimated fatalities.

    No #tsunami expected. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/ and https://tsunami.gov/

    I'm just remembering that when #sonTwo was in elementary school, his best friend and about five other kids from their grade at school had their birthdays within a period of about one week. We usually had 2-3 kids in a joint birthday party (on a Saturday) and then 2-3 others in a joint party the next week. One boy always had his separate, possibly because most of his family were Spanish speakers.
