I timed it perfectly. It&#8217;s gratifiying to achieve such a fleeting goal. I had originally considered doing a slightly longer loop but as I saw the clouds, and the time it would take. I changed course. I also changed course because I saw two slow moving people blocking one route and I prefer to continue self-isolating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Delta variant has a well chosen name because it is really great at getting big deltas, big changes. Denmark had a big increase in the number of cases, and other places are increasing rapidly as well. Delta provides instant feedback. You don&#8217;t need to be patient to see that something was a bad idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">2 countries with &gt;95% Delta variant have thus far maintained containment, have few if any deaths (Israel 2 in &gt;2 weeks, Singapore 0), with high rates of vaccination, nearly all mRNA <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1SqzrjistW\">pic.twitter.com\/1SqzrjistW<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Eric Topol (@EricTopol) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EricTopol\/status\/1413881307608719364?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 10, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Une quantit\u00e9 \u00e9norme de pluie est tomb\u00e9e sur la Suisse ces trois derniers jours: ces pr\u00e9cipitations auraient suffi pour remplir compl\u00e8tement le lac de Neuch\u00e2tel, celui des Quatre-Cantons celui et encore la moiti\u00e9 du lac de Zurich.<\/p><cite>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiolac.ch\/actualite\/suisse\/denormes-quantites-de-pluie-au-cours-des-trois-derniers-jours\/\">Radio Lac Article<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In the last few days enough rain fell to fill the Lac De Neuchatel, the Lac Des Quatres-Cantons et part of Zurich&#8217;s lake. Around here it is hard to see that so much rain has fallen. I haven&#8217;t seen too many signs of flooding or ruined crops, but of course this part is on a slope and the Lac L\u00e9man can easily absorb that quantity of rain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m glad I did make it home before the rain. I would have gone for a walk earlier but I got distracted by the Tour De France. It&#8217;s fun to see that they sprinted a few times, and at one moment I feel that one of the cameras scraped the floor. It still managed to capture the rest of the race so I think that it was fine. The camera operator just hung the camera a little too low. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>One of the games I like to play is to look at the weather app and see when the rain is scheduled to arrive.
