Walk into the drugstore and immediately feel relief as the cooler air envelopes you. #PR_Life #PR
-
Sweating, even with the occasional puff of sea breeze. #PR is just hot and humid.
-
I just deleted 150 e-mail messages, almost all of them related to former tropical storm Beryl. Apparently, some areas of #PR had flooding, landslides, power outages, but very little near San Juan.
-
@notclacke I must admit, it is quite enjoyable not having to worry about exactly which weekend is "Spring forward" or "Fall back" ( #PR doesn't have daylight wasting time. ) I wish more US states would follow the example of #AZ.
-
Former #TropStorm #Beryl is really falling apart quickly. The radar says the main mass is SW of #PR, with a little tail going over us. There is little rain and no wind.
I'm sure there was some damage (probably along the southern coast), this was mostly a non-event here in the San Juan metro.
While I'm glad it wasn't severe, I don't think I got any idea what tropical cyclones are like in person.
-
@jonkulp We're getting that in patches in #PR today. Likely to increase later today as the main body of storm remnants go past, then clear up tomorrow.
-
@klaatu If you can get to #PR quickly, I have a fresh pot of #coffee, but it is 60% decaf.
-
The advance chunk of the former #TropStorm #Beryl has moved offshore, north of #PR. The main section is over #USVI now. This is pretty neat. Able to observe what a storm is like without the danger.
-
There was a strange siren going off, so I was not sure whether it was some sort of weather alert (like the tornado sirens heard in the midwest) or a custom alarm for someone's car. After several minutes, it stopped, so I expect it was the latter.
#PR really is a strange land sometimes. I never know what to expect.
-
Currently 80F, 93% relative humidity in San Juan, #PR, with light rain from the leading edge of #Beryl's remnants. #NOAA / #NWS issuing flash flooding, urban and small stream flooding warnings for the metro area (and probably all of Puerto Rico and #USVI, jusdging by the satellite and radar images).
-
@dragnucs Not usually. It depends on the assignment. When I was in Louisiana ( #LA ) a couple of years ago, I only occasionally had a day off for the first few months. Here in Puerto Rico ( #PR ), in about 3.5 months, I have not worked Sunday at all, but yesterday was my first Saturday off except for a couple of holiday weekends.
-
Every time I meet a local who speaks English, they ask me whether I like #PR.
.
I don't really have an answer, other than I don't like the local plantain dish Mofongo and I haven't had much time off to explore the island.
-
Someone at work said they went to the store (here in #PR) and saw people buying up food and water. Even though #Hurricane #Beryl is expected to be a weakened #TropStorm and to pass to the South of the island ( see https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at2+shtml/113837.shtml?cone#contents ), they remember Maria's impact (as they should; according to a recent check at status.pr, 1/20 of the island is still without power).
I may catch an Uber to Walmart to see whether they have some water purification kits in the camping section. I go to the local supermarkets and drug stores frequently enough to know they do not have such kits.

#Pizza and cupcakes behind me. Some people from the "node within a node, which is a child node" table are leaving #PR.
-
@kaniini I volunteer @mike to come to #PR and work my excess hours.
-
@patrickme I have not tried those yet. I thought about getting one, but I'd rather wait until I go home (shipping from #PR to #SoCal would not be worthwhile).
-
#sonTwo and his wife say they are willing to move to #KCMO sooner than the original plan. They don't have funds to do so yet, but it could wind up happening before I leave #PR.
-
I'm pretty sure I'll wind up wanting an #OSSC myself, after I return from #PR.
-
Working 5.5 hours today, which was not planned. The situation at work is not good. I said this was in the top three toughest assignments I've had in almost 14 years with $EMPLOYER, but this week, it ascended to top two status. That's in the mostly English-speaking office.
.
On top of that, my Spanish is still horrible enough that I'm pretty dependent on there being a bilingual person around who can facilitate most transactions or interactions. I'm hoping that reducing work hours will allow me more practice.
.
Right now, my experience in #PR is very negative. I would never return here if the past 100+ days is my reference point.

Some guy here is comparing #PR food with Buffalo #NY food. He likes this food better.
