Damped

Yesterday it rained. A lot. Buckets. Hours. Record-setting amounts, in point of fact.

I felt a little bit clever because I have finally learned to carry around an umbrella when it might rain, just in case. And in fact, I had an umbrella yesterday.

Working late to finish up a chunk of code and stopping at the grocery store for dinner and some essentials made me late for Star Wars at Jeff's, but the rain made everyone else late, too, so it was okay.

Today it isn't really raining, but it's overcast and damp. I'm feeling tired and lethargic, and I just realized that it's probably because I haven't had enough sunlight, since it's been rainy since yesterday afternoon. That's right: Dr. Tectonic is solar-powered.

Must. Attempt. To write. JavaDoc. *ugh*

This is a good idea, and I would probably do it if I lived someplace like Seattle, but the grey is rare enough around here that it's easier to just wait a day.

Statistically, Colorado has 350 sunny days a year, where "sunny" is defined as clear skies for more than half the state for more than half the day.

That's a lot of sun.

Wow, cool!

The other fun thing when I was visiting was the snow that would disappear by afternoon; the first time it happened I could have sworn I had just dreamed it snowed, but everyone was still talking about how it had snowed and it was annoying and all I could think of was "well, at least you did not have to shovel it"... then again, maybe only Golden and Denver have disappearing snow, I wouldn't know.
