Folks were expecting a mild monsoon season when we moved here. But according to Reddit at least it’s been a good amount of rain plus a lot more wind and destruction. Old-timers saying it reminded them of monsoon season in the early to mid 90s but more humid.

Anyways here’s the requisite gorgeous sunrise. Hoping for less of a sky rave tonight.

Course the second I posted I remembered a line from As Good As It Gets. Something like:

“We all want that. It doesn’t exist!”

Got a “please hold” on the current priority job candidacy decision, which is not the answer I wanted but is also not the answer I didn’t want and at least it’s an answer so I’m gonna go find a paper bag to breathe in for a few

okay brain cooled off enough to write code again

@farah One possibility is you’re noticing them more now because you have a hook to associate them with. That was my case, anyhow.

@farah what you call blue screen sounds like what I called “brain lock” which I knew was a thing I did, but once I had my ADHD diagnosis I started thinking through different times I thought I was doing okay and people were still reacting to me strangely.

My brain registers the whole if err != nil { … } thing in Go as a verbose version of Perl’s do_thing() or die $! so it’s all through my code.

I find it comforting.

Let’s be honest. Once I got serious with Go, it was only a matter of time before I started playing with Lip Gloss

Walking along with the pups and oh that’s an interesting cloud. What’s that right next to it? Looks kind of similar but bigger. Way way bigger.

Somebody’s getting drama sky tonight. Hope it’s not us!
