========================================
Slept from twelve-thirty to six-thirty, then again from eleven-thirty to one-thirty.
Much colder.
Mostly sunny.
Highs in the upper 30s.
Northeast winds 5 to 15 mph.
Installed Skype as a Snap package.
Hmmp.
`skype` isn't in my path.
Oh, `/snap/bin/skype`.
…which apparently does nothing when I run it.
```
🐚 bava ~ $ file /snap/bin/skype
/snap/bin/skype: symbolic link to /usr/bin/snap
🐚 bava ~ $ /snap/skype/current/bin/electron-launch: line 53: /.config/skypeforlinux/logs/skype-startup.log: No such file or directory
🐚 bava ~ $ grep -n skype-startup.log /snap/skype/current/bin/electron-launch
53:exec "$@" --executed-from="$(pwd)" --pid=$$ > "$SKYPE_LOGS/skype-startup.log" 2>&1 &
🐚 bava ~ $ grep -n 'SKYPE_LOGS=' /snap/skype/current/bin/electron-launch
47:SKYPE_LOGS="$HOME/.config/skypeforlinux/logs"
🐚 bava ~ $ mkdir -p "$HOME/.config/skypeforlinux/logs"
🐚 bava ~ $ SKYPE_LOGS="$HOME"/.config/skypeforlinux/logs /snap/skype/current/bin/electron-launch
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/.config’: Permission denied
🐚 bava ~ $ /snap/skype/current/bin/electron-launch: line 53: /.config/skypeforlinux/logs/skype-startup.log: No such file or directory
🐚 bava ~ $ grep -n -C4 'SKYPE_LOGS=' /snap/skype/current/bin/electron-launch
43-# Coerce HOME so user data is stored consistently for classic and strict snaps.
44-# When the Skype snap is strictly confined this can be removed.
45-export HOME=$SNAP_USER_COMMON
46-
47:SKYPE_LOGS="$HOME/.config/skypeforlinux/logs"
48-
49-mkdir -p $SKYPE_LOGS
50-
51-# Create $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR if not exists
🐚 bava ~ $ SNAP_USER_COMMON=/home/paulgorman /snap/bin/skype
[…silently fails to do anything…]
🐚 bava ~ $ tail $HOME/.config/skypeforlinux/logs/skype-startup.log
/snap/skype/current/bin/electron-launch: line 53: exec: --: invalid option
exec: usage: exec [-cl] [-a name] [command [arguments ...]] [redirection ...]
🐚 bava ~ $ grep -n exec /snap/skype/current/bin/electron-launch
53:exec "$@" --executed-from="$(pwd)" --pid=$$ > "$SKYPE_LOGS/skype-startup.log" 2>&1 &
```
So `$@` is expected to have a value but must be empty.
How is the user expected to invoke this?
Apparently `snap run skype` should work, but does not.

Whatever: `sudo snap remove skype`.
Skype for web?
"Something went wrong."
Talked to Mom on the phone for a while.
Twenty-five-minute walk in the early evening.
Colder than I expected, but sunny.
Saw and heard a trio of morning doves.
Saw robins and starlings.
