altivoThey seem to have blown through without doing much here other than making noise and spitting a bit, though I guess points south of here did get soaked pretty well. Temperature has dropped off and the radar looks clear to the west.
Gary had a class tonight, and drove home through the tail end of a severe storm warning. Meanwhile I made stir fry of six vegetables and a tiny bit of leftover steak. Also baked an apple pie using the last apples from last year (Jonathans) and some new ones from this year (Paula Reds.) We'll see how that turned out in a few minutes.
Went shopping today and got some new jeans that were badly needed as my only remaining ones were becoming threadbare. Also stopped for some art supplies for tomorrow, which will hopefully include fair weather.
Early this morning had a bit of an enlightenment experience as I finally figured out how to squelch some weird issues on VMS that were appearing on both Alphas and also on the emulated VAX. It was partly due to a home directory being misplaced but mostly a result of a bad example I got somewhere showing modifications to a user's LOGIN.COM script. Once the simple fix was applied, it became possible to start any text editor without getting 15 seconds of pointless error messages (the editor would work anyway, but you had to sit through all the warnings each time.) I no longer have to think twice about starting up EVE or LSE.
Now to sample the pie. Report later.
