Catharsis

 We did a 3-month test which showed 204 Bequerel/cubic metre of radon in our basement. The threshold for leisurely mitigation is 200. Argh!  And apparently, when selling a house, you must disclose any information you have about radon. So we got a radon mitigation system installed.  Carefree Properties professional installation It depressurizes under the foundation slab, and blows the radon-laden air it collects out the side of the house. A possible  side effect is sub-slab humidity will also get blown out, and stop rising through cracks into our basement. 'Way too early to tell, but this data from the crawlspace humidity sensor is encouraging: The crawlspace humidity dropped slightly when the radon system started, but rose higher than the baseline earlier in the day after I turned off the crawlspace dehumidifier.  But it isn't still rising.  The dehumidifer costs about $250 per year to run, and our experience is the equipment breaks every 2-3 years.

  Pretty sure this one is an airplane. It's too long to be a meteor trail. Often, they change course over our house. So maybe it is something falling from outer space. Space junk? We have had about two, good, clear 24 hour periods in the last month. One spanned the eclipse afternoon. Very lucky!

I travelled to Fredericton to be within the totality path of the April 8th solar eclipse. My first total solar eclipse. I'm still a bit overwrought, but, feel like it is the best thing I've ever seen.  I recorded my remembrance about an hour after ward as we were driving home:  Google drive MP3 file Currently still have some dysphoria. Will it be permanent?
