Wet & Wild Day
Well, we got our first real storm through today. It was pouring when I woke up this morning, and kept on through the end of the work day, which is a relative rarity for Bay Area storms.
I decided to have lunch out, in part to appreciate the storm a bit, since it's been so long since we got any rain. I got a bit more than I ... uh ... appreciated ... today. I ended up soaked, even with my umbrella and my rain coat. It was quite wet.
Looking at the rainfall totals, it's obvious why. Most of the Bay Area got 10-15% of its annual rainfall in about 12 hours. Yowza!
I also had another reason for taking the walk out to lunch, which is that I wanted to collect and correlate the thoughts on the coding I'm doing. Too often we just have things coming at us all the time. It's been worse for me since I got my iPhone, because now whenever I'm walking alone I'm listening to that. Which is a pity because when I walk and my mind goes quiet (or used to go quiet) is one of the times I can really solve problems.
So I walked and let my mind go quiet and solved problems today, amidst the torrential downpour.
The new structures I was looking for are now dropping into place in my program and will hopefully get finished up tomorrow ...
