Leaves done. I did my walk and 2 others who are out of town and the street in front of all. 1 bag. That's how good a job Brian's been doing. And despite having done 12 bags, he still came out and helped. So he got cookies.

Indeed loveliness. It is in the high 70s every day this week. I am considering catching some rays and looking like a tourist.

Getting a tree today! Probably from the Lutheran school down the street. The kids there are sweeter and cuter than Home Depot. The boys went and picked up my bins of holiday stuff from storage yesterday. Tired of not having any stuff around to make it easier to sell the house so I am going to decorate like mad and make it cozy.

We were in the 70's yesterday and are in the 40's today. Talk about whiplash.

The kitten has been a model guest. She hasn't complained about being limited to my bathroom. She is very friendly when we try to play. I'm going to print out some "Found Kitten" posters and put them around the apartments and surrounding neighborhood.

Level 25 said I had completed all levels. Possibly there are secret further levels I am not privy to?

Maybe it's 2 points for a gold medal and 1 for silver, with a max of 50 points. I'm still stuck on level 16.

That makes sense. I can't figure out what my score is, maybe because I didn't register. But it's not 50 - I am not efficient at constructions. I can get them done, but it can take a lot of steps.

Level 16 hint: the sides of the triangle will be chords of the circumscribed circle. The radius of a circle perpendicular to a chord will bisect that chord.

It is downright weird the things I remember despite never using them for 30 years.

Since I'm tutoring high school math, I'm running into a lot of problems that I haven't seen in forever, like how to factor binomials and whatnot. It turns out that I have a big advantage over my kids, in that I have the confidence that comes from knowing I can do these things, which puts my mind in the frame to work out the problem.

It's also probably not a coincidence that I became a programmer, which in a sense is just a series of really-big-word-problems.

Thanks. It was the perpendicular part I was missing. I still don't see how to do it in the minimum number of steps though. I'm pausing at level 18 because of Things To Do.

Yeah, that I don't know.

Perhaps it is 25 levels, but separate scores for using only the primitive tools or using any of the other tools? Somehow or other the high score seems to be 50.

Kinda crazy shopping going on. Over $100 at comic store. New mattress for Mac (he's been using the mattress from the guest bed). A pet step for old man cats to get into my bed easier. And some replacement outside decorations.
