Burning Down The House! [Day 5149 - 12.05.24]

It’s also easy to do things in the summertime at least for me just because the cold makes my foot and ankle hurt more the colder it gets

Angie I am taking it easy. I did manage to get my outdoor lights put on my railing of my porch. My cousin is coming so will ask her to plug them in for me since it means climbing on a step ladder.Each day I do a bit more but not to hurt myself either.Now if I could get rid of this oxygen I would be happy

The title of today’s vlog made me think of the song ‘burning down the house’ by the Talking Heads. Now that song will be in my head for the rest of the day, thanks Troy!

And right now it is so polluted in the part of Utah I live in we have so much pollution. It has been foggy every morning and evening here but it’s not really fog. It’s just pollution. We’re waiting for it to snow again to get rid of that which it sounds like it possibly get snow tonight. So even though I hate snow that would be good just to clear out the air. Our air quality is horrible as of right now

I’ve done a lot of research into traffic lights, there’s a bunch of triggers, there strictly timed, circular sensors in the ground, straight line sensors in the ground, cameras, radar, and combinations of the different types which will switch depending on the time of day, or uses multiple to cross check itself(I believe). Some intersections will have a sensor or two a ways back from the light to tell how fast the cars are going, and when they’ll approach the intersection, so that it can find a break in traffic to perfectly time the yellow light. Typically at those intersections if the light changes to yellow and you don’t have the time to stop, it did it on purpose, to allow you to go, but to give time for the vehicle behind you to stop. And that’s not even including the sensors and controls for emergency vehicles. There can be a push button at the fire station that they press as they’re leaving to change a light directly outside of the station to get traffic moving. There are infrared sensors that detect an infrared strobe light that will change the lights (which can be a problem if there are two emergency vehicles approaching perpendicular to one another, causing the lights to cycle rapidly). Some areas the dispatchers have access to the traffic cameras and signals to perfectly change the signals before the vehicles even get there.

Oh wow, first comment over an hour after the vlog posted... wtf. Also, it's been getting extremely cold overnight here too. Low to mid teens. 😠
