cellioJava compilations are much, much faster than C++ ones were. I must remember this when I get impatient.
One lane of the Boulevard of the Allies has been closed for a couple weeks due to construction. It's only closed for a block, and generally it doesn't hinder traffic flow. Today, however, traffic was crawling there, and I have no idea why. What, did last night's spectacular storm cause drivers to be afraid of puddles or something? Sheesh.
The storm was quite loud and bright last night. I think I jolted awake from proximate thunderclaps at least three times. This made the cats who were sleeping on/near me unhappy, but it wasn't exactly under my control. This morning it seemed to have cooled things down and sucked some of the humidity out of the air, though the effect apparently didn't last. (I haven't been out since morning.)
Sharon and Elliott have a new cat. It's shaped like a Siamese, but it's all white. Elliott told me that because it has green eyes it is an "Oriental Shorthair"; if, instead, it had blue eyes, it would be an "Unpointed Siamese". Eye color is a defining characteristic of the breed but pointing is not? I didn't know that.
