Another stab at figuring out what happens to the data from all those inductive loops in the Massachussetts roads has led me to the conclusion that my state government has sold exclusive access to it to a company called SmarTraveller (travellers who are smar? pirates?) who, in turn, won't let me use it. Bummer. Especially given that my taxes already bought this information.

So this space and its lovely wife seem to have mostly missed Thanksgiving, which was a blur of respiratory problems, back ailments, and Interstate 89. Largest Vermont Thanksgiving we'd ever seen, and it was extremely nice despite being cut a day shorter than planned. It's good to be home, though, where things are less crowded, calmer, and where familiar beds and available antibiotics are making the balance of the weekend significantly easier.
