For you to answer!
- Are you over summer (specifically, the heat)?
- Have you starting snoozing/unfollowing/whatever people on socials because of election madness?
- When you use GPS, do you use north up or course up?
1. When we flew to Rochelle on the 8th I wore jeans. JEANS! And I felt great! Last Friday when we flew with Val I wore shorts and when Steven was doing steep turns I felt sweat trickle down the back of my leg. Ick.
It’s still summer but UGH. I’m over the heat and looking forward to cooler days. Apologies to my southern friends who will not be getting a break anytime soon.
2. HARD YES.
3. Okay, so I’ve always been a north up girlie with GPS. That’s just how my brain operates – on a grid with cardinal directions. That’s all good in the car.
But when we fly I have north up on ForeFlight which works amazingly for wayfinding, but I am STRUGGLING when I encounter traffic and need to tell Steven where it is on the clock (for example, traffic at 2:00, 2 miles out, 500′ below). I need a clock on my airplane icon OR I need to try course up. Steven, we need to look at this before Friday!
1. I am not over the summer!!!! I don’t usually love summer this much, but I am enjoying every sunny moment. Probably I am enjoying it a lot more now that the humidity has dissipated.
2. Haven’t had to do this yet!
3. NORTH UP. Except the GPS in my car won’t do this, so I am constantly confused. I need to know where north is!
I am glad you are! And yay for less humidity.
Okay, that would make me NUTS! GAH! They just assumed course up!
1. Are you over summer (specifically, the heat)?
Yes, and the humidity! I live in south Florida, so I’m not expecting a chill, but usually by now it would be tapering off at least a little. Instead we’re still having highs around 90 and the feels-like is often over 100. Enough already!
2. Have you starting snoozing/unfollowing/whatever people on socials because of election madness?
No, I haven’t noticed anyone I have had to block, at least not yet. It’s certainly possible that some people are blocking me, for although I am not rabid, I am open about what side I’m on (and the Cat Ladies for Kamala icon on my FB gives it away).
3. When you use GPS, do you use north up or course up?
I uses Google Maps for directions, and I think that does north up. Sometimes it swings around as I drive and I find that distracting. I would not be at all good at what o’clock something is!
Oh geesh! I hope it tapers off soon!
I hope that is not a reason for people to block you. I have friends on both sides, and have blocked some from both LOL, based on frequency and ridiculousness of the posts.
Yes.
Yes.
Course up, I think? Which is to say that I want the arrow to be going in the direction I need to be going. I do not know my cardinal directions and get really pissy when the GPS says things like “go west” as if I have any freaking clue what that means.
LOL, yep, that’s course up!
1. Yes. I love summer but I’m ready for fall and cooler weather – also since it’s already dark we might as well suck it up and do winter so that we can get back to summer.
2. No! But only because I cut all those folks out in 2020;-)
3. Course up! And when I need to let someone know that I’m on my way, I always tell them that I’m wheels up!
Ha, love the “just get through it” attitude!
1. UGH YES. I was in North Carolina last week and it actually felt like fall there so I was bummed to come back home to 80 degree temps 🙁
2. I already did a good purge after the last election, but it’s possible that people are snoozing me since I post political stuff a lot. But I live in a state where every vote really does count and some pretty important things are on the line. Feel free to snooze me 😉
3. North-up! I didn’t even know course-up was a thing until a few weeks ago when two different people were in the car with me and told me my GPS looks weird, ha!
Ugh, I hope it cools down there soon! Blah!
I’ve actually only been snoozing people on FB, so you’re safe! LOL.
Ha, I am not surprised they said that. People are very thrown off by north-up!!!
