“If we wish to establish racial equality or gender equality, or equality in any social structure — acknowledge that we can’t pick and choose who gets to be a part of the equality equation. As a humanitarian, before any label that I associate with myself; I hope we recognize that we can only resolve our issues through respect and humility. Through recognizing that it’s not okay to simply “demand” respect whilst belittling an entire culture.” medium.com/in-defense-of-white-people
Plans: Let the NodeMCU’s and the dehumidifier run until 13 October.
The Homestead Flood. We had a tornado warning at 9PM yesterday so I had prepared by moving the car up the driveway and checking all the automated systems in the house. Once that had passed we turned in for the evening. I woke up and it was POURING outside, by the time i changed clothes the ran let up but the front lawn was now a pond.
The garage in the back usually floods when it rains this hard so I left the front yard to check the back side of the garage. The water was slowly running underneath the door onto the floor where I had tubs and tubs of stuff. It took me the next half hour to clear out where the water was. I also had to lift live power strips out of the water, that was just a little scary. Headed back out to the front yard and wanted some pictures of the flood so I had to wade out to the street though the flowing water.
An hour after this picture was taken the water was gone! I moved the dehumidifier into the garage to dry it out this evening.

NodeMCU Status: Our air conditioner is limping with a oil logged evaporator until we replace the unit on 13 October. The thermostat is also limping along because of leaking batteries. I’m using these NodeMCU’s to measure the temperature and humidity throughout the house and turn on / off the power to the thermostat.
Feelings: As Christians we are compelled to look after the Widows and the poor. Just how we do that in this climate when there is so much energy fighting the democracy I don’t know.
