Thursday, November 6th, 2014 07:56 pmWhen you see this, take a minute and share five good things of your day with the world, uncut.
1. I saw that raccoon again*!
2. It was mild, overcast, and breezy at lunchtime**, with that ambiance of being surrounded by familiar/benevolent forces of nature. The colors were pretty too.
3. I got to use De Morgan's laws on an actual*** practical problem!
4. I made it home from work before Qiao for a change, though only by a few minutes.
5. Tomorrow is Friday!
* Again, while leaving work after dusk. It was crossing the street from the other side, nearly to the center. I could see headlights coming up behind me, so I silently begged it to either finish crossing the street in front of me, or to run back to the other side. But it just stood there as if telling me to go on and get out of its way. So I drove on. I hope the other car didn't run it over.
** I purposely walked by the area where the turkeys were yesterday, but then was so lost in thought that I forgot to even look up to see if they were still around.
*** As in the negation of something like ((aaa >= bbb and aaa < ccc) or (ddd <= bbb and ddd > ccc)). But then I found a way to also simplify the original condition.
