   TFW you know there was a repeated word in sequence in something you wrote, but you just cannot find it. So you dump it to text, put one word per line using "tr", and diff the raw list and the list obtained from "uniq" to find the one darn repeated word. NOW I HAVE IT.

   How to stop magical thinking in school reopening plans This item caught my eye: Does your plan put unreasonable demands on educators? Its cool. Nobody actually cares what educators think. At least, that is the impression we all get. https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2020/07/30/how-stop-magical-thinking-school-reopening-plans/

    Wow. Just... wow. I mean, you see this coming because deaths lag hospitalizations lag cases ... but the foreknowledge based on science doesn't blunt the emotional trauma. https://twitter.com/COVID19Tracking/status/1288604499452387328

    Went into SMU briefly today to take measurements and plan for furniture purchases and deployment for our new, large shared graduate office area.

    It rained today. The cold air mass that triggered this brought temperatures down from the 90s to the mid-70s. While humid, it was nonetheless pleasant outside. I took advantage of this to go for a run. In the afternoon. At 3:30pm. In July. In Texas. IT WAS GLORIOUS.
