wind and stuff

[cellio]

Impressive winds last night. At one point I woke up to the sound of the metal cover in the (decorative) fireplace in the bedroom rattling around. In other words, wind was coming down the chimney with enough force to do that. I've never heard that sound in my bedroom before.

Note to future self: when you buy your next car, make sure it weighs as much as your current one. (They make 'em out of plastic now, so it might not.) This morning's winds were still strong enough to push my car around. (Low-profile, but small.) And wow -- hail! In November! Little hailstones, but hail nonetheless. It was kind of neat, from an indoor vantage point.

This morning at services a couple of the guys asked me when I'm going to lead the service. I said I need to learn the service better (that is, the chazan's part), and that I'd actually tried to buy a copy of the siddur but Pinsker's doesn't carry it. So Joe told me to borrow one; I was concerned that they didn't have enough to lend one out, so he picked one up, turned to the "donor" plate in the front that has his name on it, and said it was ok. Gee, I guess they're serious. :-)

A bug in our infrastructure code is preventing me from effectively debugging my application. The relevant developer should appear any moment now with a workaround. I hope.

We had wind advisories down here last night and the night before. It was very windy last night. I guess it was the cold front coming in. Yesterday felt like a warm spring day. Today is back to fall.
