Wordle 13

 I had real trepidation starting with yesterday's answer:  1 vowel, lots of rare consonants...but it payed-off well.

 I knew that starting with ROBOT would be a handicap, but I like the challenge of starting with yesterday's solution.

 This. Was. So. Hard!

3 Plows

 It was snowing at 3:00 AM when we left here for Logan.  By the time we got to the airport, it was all rain.  The gradient between snow and rain was mostly a very slick form of slush.  The process was reversed on the way home, just getting more dangerous as I went, rather than less.

Toward the end, I--along with many other motorists got stuck behind three plows, taking up all three lanes of RT 3 and going a steady 20 MPH.  They were diagonal:  The left one in the lead, plowing snow towards the right, the one in the middle plowing to the one in the rightmost lane, who was furthest back.

It didn't take me long to figure-out that the left plow could have just plowed to the left and therefore not have to be doing that lane at the same time as the other two.  Now, if I, who am not a municipal worker, could think of this; surely, guys who do this for a living could think of it too.  So, were they just overgrown teens having fun?

Who knows?  I took the next exit and made it the rest of the way home on back-roads.

Yesterday was such a bloodbath, but today's really evens things up.

I pretty much had to use-up the whole alphabet to cover all the words which are blank R O blank blank

Fitness news

 As of my most recent run, on the 13th, I now have 13,000 miles on my current app.

Also, I've been slowing increasing the number of clean & jerks I do in a weightlifting workout:  I used to be a total minimalist and would crank-out 4-5 in 10-15 minutes (including warm-up)  Today I did 22. 18 of them were at or above 145 lbs and 10 were at or above 150 lbs.  Good news is that I broke a drought lasting a couple of workouts, of not reaching 155 lbs, but today I made this twice.  Unfortunately, the only instance that felt easy was the 22nd lift.

I really should have gotten this in three:  Using s twice in the third row was careless.
