Our summer over here was brutal, one of the harshest ones I remember. Hardly any rain either.
Forecast high today is 21C, which means 24C here at Vorpal Manor.
It says "chance of showers" too, but if I want a shower, I'll have to do it manually
A nice day, but we're forecast to get a thunderstorm this afternoon
I did not hear any thunder, and while walking through the neighbourhood at around 20h the sky was clear. We saw a distant flash of lightning, but nothing close.
There will be a gathering of the Vorpal Clan today — which is also Labour Day in Canada.
not garbage day. It normally would have been, but it shifts to Thursday on weeks with a holiday Monday.
Some of you might care, but when I was digitizing VHS tapes tonight and looking for something to pass the time while the conversion was running, I remembered a certain Nine Men's Morris online game. I actually didn't find the specific one I had in mind, but instead stumbled upon an even more useful site to pass the time, which does include Nine Men's Morris, but also a bunch of other stuff, all vs AI opponents of various levels.
Some examples include Connect 4, Reversi, several types of chess, Hex, mancala, and Go. The latter was particularly interesting to me, because I often found it hard to find playable versions against bot opponents online.
If you're in a similar situation and would like to check it out, the site is called PlayAbstractGames.com.
