    You reminded me the same conditions prevailed here around the asylum that so far the lunatics haven't taken over. Either a tree branch or broken spacers for years causing slack caused a 4800V secondary to arc blinking the lights and tripping an alarm. Thankfully my computer set to stay off didn't trip out, improper shutdowns cause data corruption that Windblows repairs from backup files at the next (slow) startup.

    I wonder if Linux has similar rudimentary system file recovery.

    Linux has a very robust file system recovery-repair utility set. Depending on the type of file system and storage infrastructure, it can be layered.

    I should have known Linus would come up with a Unix based system that's well protected by structure. As for the weather, March came in like a lamb and is going out like a lion with rain, wind, and temperatures like a roller-coaster as hot and muggy summer battles cold and damp Old Man Winter...

    From summer back to winter, eventually summer will win... for a while. Ecuador being poverty stricken the only good thing is the climate, pick your season that lasts year round. At the coast it's tropical, then as you climb into the Andes it's temperate, at high altitude it's arctic. Quito is where the climate suits my clothes, it's known as the city of eternal spring.

    Snow doesn't hurt unless it's thunder snow, hail sure does and it can be destructive, either way you know to seek shelter immediately. In a worst case scenario you're not safe in your car, and if it's C. B. Demille hail you're not safe anywhere when Moses orders it up. (;->) That BTW was an interesting SFX in the 1956 film The Ten Commandments, naphthalene mothballs were set alight and dropped for flaming hail. There's an interesting story behind that set: https://outwardon.com/article/califo...-be-uncovered/

    Mid 50 days and mid 20 nights for the last few days. Sunday we're looking at 70's and mid 30's Monday morning. The rest of the week will warm up accordingly ... whatever that means. Gradually?

    That's a steep thermometer Charles. I don't like big swings like that.

    Lately mid/upper 50's high and low 40's low, there was a 70° day with some 60's thrown in. Spring is starting in the PNW. The rain seems less than usual total-wise, but haven't found statistics to back that up or not. Yet.

    Hmmm, hamis weather.

    Of note; a couple of weeks ago it stayed 59º for 24 hours straight.
    Very unusual.
