Tonight was: biking through four sets of orange "do not cross" fencing, detouring around a not-quite bridge, spending a few moments admiring the gargantuan crane which brought the replacement bridge (all in one piece), running into uniquecrash5 and K. on their evening constitutional, then meeting my sweetie at bats22's for dinner.

And a very fine dinner it was: unagi, kabocha (a japanese pumpkin I've never had before), omlette, miso soup, rice, broccoli, and pickled peppers and mushroom. Yum. We kvetched over sake (yes, actually, we did), and bats22 gave me an excellent idea about... well, I can't say, it'll ruin a surprise. Anyway.

He also loaned us the coolest toy: a Kill-a-Watt energy meter, for measuring the energy-use of various things around the house. I'm testing my server right now. This is so cool; both d. and I have always wanted one, but for some reason I thought they were suuper-expensive. Apparently they're $30 at Amazon.

Hm. Yeah. Good times.

As of 0735 this morning, the signage around Erb/Caroline was down in a "someone official took this down" way and barriers appeared to be less "in the way" than yesterday. People were crossing the new bridge and/or the railway trestle while the folks working on the bridge gave them dirty looks.

Failing to warn people that the bridge is not yet in service far away enough that they can adjust their trajectories to take a reasonably short detour is not good public relations.

Wow. That's a bit odd.

I think I'll detour around again, thankyaverymuch.
