Tue Aug 29 06:07:48 EDT 2017 Slept from ten to five-something. Woke briefly around two. High of seventy-four today. Rain likely, especially after noon. Work: - Prepare for property copies Done. - Goodbye to Joy, 5:30 PM at Mr. Joe's Done. https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:newtox2go Half-hour walk at lunch. It rained earlier, but I only caught a drop or two. Everything smelled damply aromatic, of pine and citrus. Saw a crow and a morning dove. DTE closed the south-most lane of Twelve Mile yesterday. I realized today that they put up new utility poles. The old poles (still standing on the north side of the road) are tagged "1971". > A survey of 150 utility companies found the average service life of utility poles to range from 25 to 37 years. Drank a beer with my coworkers to wish Joy a happy return to Ohio at her new job. Home: - Work on Go static site generator Done. - Play with some D&D stuff (new blog?) Done. http://www.paperspencils.com/2017/08/27/basic-game-structure-hacking-as-an-involved-deviation/ This is straight out of Car Wars: https://warisboring.com/a-remarkable-armored-train-fought-its-way-across-eurasia/ > The war train Zaamurets was the behemoth of the 1910s and 1920s. Heavily armored. Bristling with guns. Everywhere it went, Zaamurets was the biggest, baddest thing around. Not many foes could touch it. If you possessed this train, you ruled the rails of early 20th-century Eurasia. Lunch: coffee, peanut butter and jelly Dinner: burger, onion rings, beer
