alexpgpBy the time I finished my diatribe about the design of Memorex thumbdrives this morning, I was beginning to notice a definite coolness in the air. Since I am usually asleep at three in the morning, I paid no attention to it, but did notice that it took me some time to get warm under the covers when I did crawl back into bed.
The temperature last night was the talk of the town, or at least of the store, for most of the morning. A few customers went as far as to estimate temperatures of around 35°F last night. Feht came by the house later and said it had actually gone slightly below freezing. It was still cold at 8:50 am when I opened the store.
Galina and I managed to work the store today without much difficulty; in fact, it was nearing 2 pm by the time I looked up to glance at the clock. However, we were both pretty zonked from the combination of work and lack of sleep (Galina couldn't sleep either, and did a load of laundry while I held forth on device design), so when we got back we both napped before Feht arrived. The kids ought to be back tomorrow night, and Drew and Shannon ought to be back in the store on Monday. I'll probably be there, too, just to bring them up to speed on all the stuff that did, and did not, get done.
In other news, I can actually discern a vaguely rectangular shape under the papers on my desk. I hope to be able to put a real big dent in the remaining paper-chase tasks tomorrow, and to finish the 17-page translation (lotsa pages, few words) that's due Monday as well.
For now, I shall content myself with continuing to process the miscellaneous stuff on and around my work table.
Cheers...
