Thu Oct 5 07:32:26 EDT 2017 Slept from ten-thirty to six. Woke briefly around one. High of seventy-seven and sunny today. Work: - Review invoices Done. - Update to Go 1.9.1 Done. - Play with Asterisk ARI Done. - 3 PM call with HZ Rachel Done. - Review Canon copier proposal for Central Done. (I think Central overestimates how much they copy, but I don't have time to start an inquisition about it.) Twenty-five minute walk at lunch. Warm but not hot. Blue sky. Beautiful. Saw a (hairy?) woodpecker, and couple of blue jays. Home: - Go stuff Done. ssh://paulgorman.org/~/repo/go/src/paulgorman.org/helloweb https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/stardew-valley-switch http://www.nippon.com/en/features/h00124/ > The traditional Japanese calendar marks the passing of the seasons and changes in the natural world through the names given to different times of year. There are 24 major divisions, or sekki, from Risshun (Beginning of spring) in early February until Daikan (Greater cold). Originally taken from Chinese sources, these are still well-known around East Asia. The 24 divisions are each split again into three for a total of 72 kō that last around five days each. We're currently in Mizu hajimete karuru (farmers drain fields). Next week starts Kōgan kitaru (wild geese return). http://wideawakeinjapan.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-shichijuni-kou-or-seventy-two.html > This almanac, carried over from China, separates the solar year evenly into 24 seasons called the Nijushisekki (二十四節気), each of which are divided a further three times, creating the Shichijuni-kou (七十二候), or "seventy-two climates (seasons)." http://www.spoon-tamago.com/2017/10/04/japanese-vending-machines-at-night-juxtaposed-with-a-wintry-hokkaido-landscape/ Bought Stardew Valley for the Switch, and played it for an hour before bed. Definitely a Animal Crossing vibe, although it hasn't really won my heart yet. Breakfast: carrots, spinach, tomato, egg, coffee Lunch: peanut butter and jelly Dinner: sausage and peppers sub
