    My site manager here in #AL recommended I shoot for a lateral position change. The new role would be more server oriented (right as the whole federal government moves away from self hosted servers toward vendor hosted cloud services ... no word on whether that role gets to transition) and less user support oriented.

    Speaking of #tornadoes, I'm watching the Weather Channel in the lunch room and they are talking about severe #t-storms and possible tornadoes in #TX, #OK, #AR, #MS, #AL, #TN, #KY. These are fast movong storms, so there is no time for waiting until a storm is confirmed.

    There must be different traditions for cornbread. What I'm finding in #AL is not like what I expected cornbread to taste like.

    It isn't bad, just different.

    1. Scottsboro Boys
      The Scottsboro Boys were nine African American teenagers and young men, ages 13 to 20, accused in Alabama of raping two white women in 1931. The landmark set of legal cases from this incident dealt with racism and the right to a fair trial. The cases included a lynch mob before the suspects had been indicted, all-white juries, rushed trials, and disruptive mobs. It is commonly cited as an example of a legal injustice in the United States legal system. On March 25, 1931, two dozen people were "hoboing" on a freight train traveling between Chattanooga and Memphis, Tennessee, the hoboes being an equal mix of blacks and whites. A group of white teenage boys saw 18-year-old Haywood Patterson on the train and attempted to push him off, claiming that it was "a white man's train". A group of whites gathered rocks and attempted to force all of the black men from the train. Patterson and the other black passengers were able to ward off the group. The humiliated white teenagers jumped or were forced off the train and reported to the city's sheriff that they had been attacked by a group of black teenagers. The sheriff deputized a posse, stopped and...

    Also, drove past a tall flagpole atop a hill, flying the #Confederate battle flag. I flipped it off as I drove past, which is the appropriate sign to show to that anti-American hate symbol. *

    Today, I left more than an hour later, and Birmingham #AL traffic was much improved.

    * Some years ago, a cousin who is now believed to be deceased posted the Confederate battle flag with the caption "Heritage, not hate". But I would argue that "we're killing other White people in order to continue enslaving Black people" is pretty much the definition of hate.

    1. Bibb Graves Bridge
      The Bibb Graves Bridge, also known as the Coosa River Bridge, is a "large multi-span rainbow arch bridge" located in Elmore County, Alabama, in downtown Wetumpka. The bridge crosses the Coosa River. History The Bibb Graves Bridge, designed by state bridge engineer Edward Houk, was built in 1931 to help connect the two parts of Wetumpka, which are separated by the Coosa River. The bridge is one of two in the state of Alabama "to be suspended by reinforced concrete."The bridge is named after David Bibb Graves, the 38th Governor of Alabama, serving from 1927–1931 and 1935–1939, becoming the first Alabama governor to serve two four-year terms. Several scenes in the movie Big Fish were filmed on the Bibb Graves Bridge. Structure The Bibb Graves Bridge is 140.1 feet in length and has 12.5 feet vertical clearance above deck. It supports pedestrian, motor vehicle, and bike traffic. The bridge contains five concrete arches, classifying it as an arch bridge.Despite its age, the bridge maintains its integrity, though one "arch span is suffering...

    I drove through Birmingham #AL recently. Nowhere near the traffic of Los Angeles or Atlanta, but still got hung up for a while at 08:30. From Bham to the North, it was sunny, but to the South, it was overcast and drizzling, with more rain the further South you went. I didn’t make it as far as Mobile, so I don’t know if that continued indefinitely.

    People working in the main building are working remotely tomorrow ... and most are off Sunday unless they're supporting us in the field.

    With some changes in field locations this weekend, I may have reached the end of 84 hours / week. I was hoping to keep that up one more week. I'm tired as heck (partly because of the noisy neighbors that recently left the #hotel), but my wallet is empty and I'd like to fill it as much as possible before I leave #AL (currently planned for 2023-02-17 to 2023-02-24). Any longer than that and I need to figure out how to obtain my replacement debit card, as the current one expires this month.

    @gnu2 I am currently staying in a hotel in #AL, but I live in a house in #CA ... or in #MO ( #GS3 asked me when I am coming back home ). In a week or a month or a few of each, I will return home after my assignment is done.

    ( Current thinking is about three or four more weeks until I leave. )

    There was a city in my area of #SoCal that was known for this. They even towed vehicles out of people's driveways as "junker" vehicles and auctioned them off. As far as I know, they are not currently doing this.
