Slept from ten-thirty to six-thirty without waking.
Watched the rosy-fingered dawn.
Sunny and eighty today. Could be our last day of the year to hit eighty.
Goals:
Work:
- Work on shell notes https://paulgorman.org/technical/unix-posix-shell.txt
No.
Thirty minute walk at lunch. Nice out. Some of the honey locusts have started dropping their leaves in golden flurries. Saw a monarch butterfly, a crow, and a bluejay.
Spent much of the day dealing with the installation of a new alarm and door access system at the office.
Home:
- Work on html-ifying diary entries
Done.
Doing the simplest possible things with simple shell tools turned out well.
Had to resort to Perl in a couple of places, because I sed cant do backreferences with "or" groups (i.e. I would need mutually exclusive features from both Basic and Extended POSIX regular expressions).
Not perfect, but good enough. I like it.
- Take stuff off balcony for painters
Done.
Saw a flight of at least thirty Canada geese as I got home.

Took a walk after dark. Moon's waxing, but less than half full. Crickets and cicadas.
Breakfast: carrots, spinach, a slice of ham, coffee with half-and-half
Lunch: bagel with cream cheese
Dinner: Philly cheesesteak and fries
