  1. The deer really seem to be way more numerous in Northern #orangecountync this year. I know I'm probably paying a lot more attention because I take #chaosaussiesauce off leash into the yard to play ball, and definitely do not have "I'm going to herd that deer" recall

    This Sasquatch quality photo is one of three bucks about the same size as this one (8 points? 12 points if I didn't have photo evidence? 😆) in the yard yesterday at the same time, which I've never seen before in 13 years here.

  2. The #orangecountync BOCC are holding a public hearing on Tuesday, April 21 at 7pm regarding a proposed One-Year Moratorium Ordinance on “Data Centers” as a Land Use

    orangecountync.gov/953/Board-o

    "The Board will hold a public hearing and receive comment on a proposed ordinance to impose a one-year moratorium on large-scale data centers as a land use, inclusive of Artificial Intelligence Data Centers, Cryptocurrency Mining Facilities, Data Centers, Data Processing Facilities, and similar uses."

  3. Hitting these shaded areas that stay well below freezing has to be tough. You'd have to do the salt/sand thing prior to any sun angle changes - then send in the plows(*)

    And none of us really want that de-icing mix to drain out to the waterways out here either

    ...

    * I'm starting to think that my subconscious just orchestrated this whole post so that it could torture me with an earworm the rest of the day 😂

    🎶 But where are the plows?
    🎶 Quick, send in the plows

  4. My particular secondary road in #orangecountync #ncdot really doesn't seem to have the resources or the organizational capacity at this time to have gotten out in front of this one

    The trope that people like to express is that #ncdot never gets out in front - which is definitely not true - it just seems maddeningly inconsistent

    Between the coming snow and long-range 8-14 day outlook from the NWS - the rural areas of the county are going to be treacherous for probably another week+half #ncwx

  5. Interesting: #orangecountync sent out this email notice to the Board of Commissioners notification list this afternoon around 2pm (The list gets county board meeting announcements, public notices regarding the board, that sort of thing)

    The Board is in an emergency closed session tonight, which is a bit unusual in my memory.

    Guessing there will be some County-related news coming soon 🤷

  6. This in-depth story by Barry Yeoman about how neuvaux right-wing politics easily overwhelms self-described "moderates" who have long been tools for the forces trying to block progressive change in Orange County is an important read.
