Location, Location, Location

Dave Ferguson and I will be working on Monday morning with the old legacy database of Botanic Garden collections.  The task at hand, extracting location information for the major perennials.  After massaging that data, we'll hand it off to the new company, IrisBG, for inclusion in their product when it gets installed later this year.  

We're all set for Zooming this morning.  Dave will login to BGBase and screen share to my desktop here at home.  With any luck, Dave will still remember how to access the system and run queries.  Anything we come up with, we'll dump to .xls or .pdf.  

After that, it's up to me to get it into some kind of acceptable format for IrisBG.

In a sobering side note today, the U.S. passed the 500,000 mark in Covid-19 deaths.  President Biden, VP Harris, and their spouses held a moment of silence.  The White House is draped in black bunting and lit with 500 candles.
