The Coffee House

Yesterday, Mary Lou, Mike (a friend) and Gary went to a nicely opened place named Eataly. It is a large place housing all kinds of shops and restaurants selling foods and drinks from Italy. It was well worth the drive to west LA. We dined on the balcony eating pizza and lasagna, we tasted sweet breads and drooled over the meats and fish in the butcher shops and rubbed our hands over all the canned/jarred/imported foods. We purchased a Muzzi Tommaso Panettone (orange cream and chocolate chips) and a set of bowls for salad and sorbet.

That's Mario Batali's market, right? I think there's one in both NYC and Boston. I'll probably stop by the next time I'm in one of those cities.

I've been writing a script that matches an road segment ID to an address, based on the road segment's address range (if the address is 123 Main Street, then get the segment for 100 - 199 main Street and write the segment ID to the address point.) The problem I've been battling is how to filter the address points to just those matching the road name; there are about 390,000 addresses and 44,000 road segments. No matter how I try to code the filter I keep getting an error.

Yesterday afternoon I finally found a little piece of code (three lines) that sets up the filter. I cant just say x = y, but have to build a line of text referencing x and y individually. Everything went well (several times) with my test date (about 1,000 streets and 3,000 addresses). Today, I added code that will check for the required fields, and if they don't exist in the files, the fields are added. it went well with the test data, and now I'm running it against a copy of the production files. So far, so good.:boogie:

This is related to the next generation 9-1-1 (NextGen) stuff that is very rapidly coming to life, but has some other applications where we might need to associate an address point (a main door) with the section of road (like a section between two intersections).

Yep ... there's been a lot of talk about opening one up in LA ... it finally happened a few weeks ago. Not a spectacular location ... but it was crowded on a weekday afternoon.
 
Time to head up to floor #4 and it MLW is ready, home.
MLW's beef stew, tonight.
 
When I post to this thread my "you" at the top a tapatalk doesn't always or even usually update. Any thoughts.
Maybe old phone?

Beef stew sounds really good. Leftovers tonight. Mary Lou brought home a store roasted chicken and some store made mac & cheese ... we need to get to eat before it's too late.

How to cope with the variation in density?

Do the road sections have different lengths that correspond to the address density variation?
 
Lots of work. Today the Architect and the Structural Engineer were here to discuss some constructional details.

There is a mountain of paper to be climbed befor one can set the first stone!

Very very nice Frank. You know before the first stone is set you gotta dig.


not really. just paper work then fencing then tear down and build up. no cellar. We do want to skip the romans!
 
Roast pork tenderloin, roasted acorn squash, and quinoa salad here tonight.

I made beef stew last week and it was yummy. Last night we had what we call First Thanksgiving so tonight I'll be having a leftover turkey and stuffing sandwich. Not on my diet but a holiday is a holiday!!!

First Thanksgiving became a thing a few years ago because my nephew wanted to eat Thanksgiving dinner with us. We don't get to eat Thanksgiving dinner with him because he and his parents (my youngest brother and his wife) go to my sister-in-law's sister's house for dinner (she makes funky health food and my nephew is not a fan hence the request to eat with us). So we started having either First Thanksgiving with them the week before or Second Thanksgiving with them the week after. On actual Thanksgiving, Princess and I travel with my mom up to NH to have dinner with my other brother and his crew. It's a great idea as far as I'm concerned because I get to celebrate my favorite holiday twice!

Yes, lengths and address ranges Differ for various reasons. I just split some segments due to changes in speed limits.

We are heading to Friendsgiving on Saturday. As we’ve gotten olders and our lives have diverged a bit, we don’t spend much time with our oldest friends anymore. It’s a great excuse to carve out time for each other.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, and I’ve got a lot to be thankful for this year. I’m sure I’ll post some sentimental diatribe next week that y’all can feel free to scroll through ;)
 
I just can't wait for A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving special to come on!

We have multiple Thanksgiving Dinners. Last year we had our 'first' dinner by cooking up a meal for a family we've known forever. One son was a Marine, the other a Sailor and her daughter along with boyfriends/girlfriends/et al. She was going through a rough patch in her life so we tossed a dinner for them. A few days later we had our dinner. Usually, it is a last minute thing ... multiple dinners ... We entertain so often that it isn't THAT big of a thing.

Why can't you just get everybody a Garmin?
