Leonard arrives from...
Indiana? Well that's where he was shipped from, and he arrived via UPS today.
Here he is, just emerging from his birth caul:

In other news, yesterday I updated the maps in my Garmin GPS. This is noteworthy because it is so agonizingly slow that I resist the process until the maps are obviously full of errors. At work, on a T1 connection, it took over five hours. I have no idea what the volume of data transferred actually might be, but these are only the default US and Canada maps that came with the unit. The last experience, about 14 months ago, was similarly slow. Why should this be so difficult? You'd think it was NASA updating the program of a Mars rover, one bit at a time.
Weather report: it actually rained today. For about three minutes. Continued forecasts of rain and even thunder and lightning, continue. Actual fulfillment of those forecasts? Somewhat less than 10% of the time period involved.
