This evening on Batuu East with Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge Discord to celebrate Batuu East’s 6th anniversary (on August 29th).

So yeah. Wet morning incoming ⛈️ another summer day in Florida. Should clear out before tonight’s meetup on Batuu East (Lightsaber Meetup at Disney’s Hollywood Studios tonight starting at 9:15 PM in Galaxy’s Edge).

Guess when I was in Walt Disney World?

Python script to parse the export file from Apple Health and plot a heart rate chart.
