Slept from eleven-something to after seven. Woke briefly around 3:30 AM.
Sunny. High of seventy-eight.
Goals:
Work:
- Test emergency call system
Done.
It's pretty much working.
- Increase rent of remodels
Done.
Twenty minute walk at lunch. Saw a dragonfly, a butterfly, and one of those blackish flying grasshoppers that were so numerous last year. Heard cicadas. It's nice out --- mostly sunny, and not excessively hot.
Home:
- Work on D&D mini rules
No.
I forgot to mention yesterday: Kate announced she's expecting.

Man, Stranger Things is such a potent brew of the pop culture of my childhood.
While watching it, I didn't pick up on how directly Eleven maps to ET.
Hit dice by size:
2 Camel

2 Horse, riding
3 Horse, draft

5 Grizzly bear
6 Polar bear
6 Tiger

6 Rhinoceros, normal
7 Cave bear (short-faced bear?)
8 Smilodon
8 Rhinoceros, woolly
9 Elephant
15 Mastodon
20 Tyrannosaurus rex

(In fact, a mastodon was smaller than a modern African elephant. Some species of mammoths were larger, but only by perhaps 25%.)

Spent a few minutes before bed resuming my C refresher studies with Kalicharan's Data Structures in C, which is thus far frustratingly rife with typos.
Breakfast: spinach, yogurt, coffee
Lunch: raw nuts
Dinner: Tubby's sub and fries
