========================================
Slept from ten-thirty to seven-thirty.
Mostly cloudy until late afternoon then becoming mostly sunny.
Highs in the mid 70s.
Southeast winds up to 10 mph.
To do
----------------------------------------
- Taxes?
Done.
- Register to vote by mail?
Done.
Wiped down the kitchen counters, tidied.
Upgraded my mouse from an old Logitech M310 to a new Logitech Pro (a.k.a. M720 Triathlon).
It feels better, but maybe largely because of the unworn glide pads.
Would be terrible for lefties, unlike the M310.

> It won’t be a surprise that I am using the i3 tiling window manager, which I created in 2009 and still maintain.
> Over time, I have moved all new development work to Go, which is by far my favorite programming language. See the article for details, but in summary, Go’s values align well with my own: the tooling is quick and high-quality, the language well thought-out and operating at roughly my preferred level of abstraction vs. clarity.

> All registered voters in Michigan have the right to vote by mail. It's a safe way to vote and protect your health, and the process is secure and accurate.
> To vote by mail, fill out the simple application located on this page, print and sign it, and then mail or email it to your local clerk (you can find their address and email here). When filling out the application, if you check the box to be added to the permanent absent voter list, you'll get an application mailed to you before every election. But there's no commitment. Even if you apply to vote by mail, you can change your mind and vote in person.
Started watching Kino's Journey again.
I don't remember any of these episodes.
Ah, this is actually a newer/second Kino series with different stories.
TALKING MOTORCYCLE: No way — a talking dog!
Ha.
Neighbors barbecuing.
The charcoal smells good.

> So far, the state said, 3,500 volunteers have completed contact tracing training, but more than 7,700 have signed up to help.
> Based on Johns Hopkins University's estimate that 100,000 contact tracers are needed nationwide, or roughly 1 tracer for every 3,200 people, Michigan would need about 3,000 tracers.
Baking frozen breasts breasts for 30–45 minutes (until 165°) works well.
Or, maybe 150° would be totally fine for oven baking (sustaining 150° for 3 minutes):

Twenty-minute walk in the evening.
Partly sunny, warm.
Heard a crow and a mourning dove.
