Slept from eleven-thirty to nine.
Smoke detector started beeping for "low battery" around one-thirty, so I got up and pulled it of the ceiling.

High of seventy and sunny today.

Goals:
- Revise ed notes
  Done.
- Play with D&D stuff
  Not really.

Huh.
Yesterday, I was looking at Nginx logs.
For convenience, I made my user part of the `nginx` group, and made `/var/log/nginx/` readable by the `nginx` group (i.e., 750 when it was 700).

```
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:

error: skipping "/var/log/nginx/access.log" because parent directory has insecure permissions (It's world writable or writable by group which is not "root") Set "su" directive in config file to tell logrotate which user/group should be used for rotation.
error: skipping "/var/log/nginx/error.log" because parent directory has insecure permissions (It's world writable or writable by group which is not "root") Set "su" directive in config file to tell logrotate which user/group should be used for rotation.
```

So:

```
--- inky ~ $  sudo logrotate -d -f /etc/logrotate.conf 2>&1 | grep permissions
error: skipping "/var/log/nginx/access.log" because parent directory has insecure permissions (It's world writable or writable by group which is not "root") Set "su" directive in config file to tell logrotate which user/group should be used for rotation.

Vacuumed, watered plants.

Thirty-minute walk around noon.
Splendid day — blue and sunny, neither cool nor hot, and a mild breeze.
Heard crickets.
Smelled the harvest air.
Saw several blue jays and several little white butterflies.
A raptor, probably a red-tailed hawk.
A dragonfly.

Bought soy milk at the grocery.

Called mom, chatted.

Mom dropped by.
We went for a twenty-minute walk.
Showed her the hidden path to Beverly Park.
Saw a heron at the pond.
Climbed the sledding hill together, then ran down it.

> “Not always useful, but not altogether useless” is the mantra behind Chindōgu, a Japanese art form that calls for stilettos with built-in umbrellas, noodle bibs for the face, and glue sticks filled with butter (that one we get). They’re nonsensical inventions on a mission, missing the mark of utility by a hair, and on purpose. “I despise materialism and how everything is turned into a commodity,” explained its founder, 71-year-old Kenji Kawakami, whose lifelong passion for Sticking it to the Man led him to create Chindōgu in the 1990s.

Watched a few anime episodes: Barakamon, Holmes of Kyoto.

Even with a cotton blanket, I half-woke a couple times last night because of the cold.
Wool blanket time.
