It's only useful when it is light enough for the ground to absorb. This just runs off taking roads and mountainside with it.
Certainly not common, but they have been seen off Scottish coasts before. A few have been sighted around the Moray Firth (to the north-east) and also in places off the west coast, but this is further south down the eastern side of Scotland than normal. Here's the BBC report:
You're a little warmer than us!
Good work TastyReuben. Keep it up. I am humbled.Just got back from the doc. I won't get my blood work results for a few days, but the good thing is, the 15 lbs I lost from Aug-Nov have stayed off. I'm at 182lbs.
Also, my blood pressure was lower this time around. I take meds for HBP, and even with that, it's usually around 135/90. This time...128/85. Probably due, in part, to the weight loss.
My next goal with the weight is to get into the 170's. We'll see if I can do that by April 15th.
Also on the health front, it's a new year for employer-provided health insurance, and like a lot of places, they provide incentives for healthy behaviors. The biggest one is not charging me a tobacco-user's surcharge.
Other than that, though, we can track things and get points, and that equates to money in our health spending accounts. I can earn up to $800US, depending on the activities I complete.
Some are easy, like "Take A Tour Of The App," and just by completing a little five-minute tour, I get 10 points. Some are a little more involved, like walking a certain number of steps every day, or getting a yearly checkup done, and others are more involved still, like participating in a sponsored fitness event, or taking part in a telephonic health coaching event.
So far, I've earned $450, and I think I'll be able to get really close to the full $800 this year, as they've added several activities, due to the pandemic, that can be done from home.
