Seems nice -- a lot like Japan a few weeks ago.

This "crisp fall weather" thing is nice for about 15 minutes, and after that I just wish it were warmer again.

As to why not both: * having dense buildings laid out in a grid rather than a line is much more likely to create a walkable neighborhood (and a pleasantly-walkable one) * having more stuff near transit (i.e., Caltrain) & in walkable places reduces # living in car-dependent places

Though we'd really be better off with more apartments downtown (and getting rid of the 50ft height limit) than with all the apartments along El Camino...

One of the things I remember from my first trip to Japan -- maybe even the first day -- was a man riding a bicycle on the sidewalk while holding an umbrella and smoking a cigarette. (One hand for the handlebars; the other hand for the umbrella and the cigarette.)

"would like to find some time to work on this" != "working on it", unfortunately...

But if the goal is to get to a majority before the convention, it requires more than a third of the delegates in each state...
The conversation was in the context of a thunderstorm...

7am - temp 26℃ dewpoint 23℃ 9am - temp 29℃ dewpoint 23℃ 11am - temp 31℃ dewpoint 23℃ 1pm - temp 31℃ dewpoint 23℃ 3pm - temp 29℃ dewpoint 22℃ So it did get a little drier. Data for Horibata-cho from maps.darksky.net/@temperatur…

At 3pm it's 29° and 66% relative humidity (RH). The dewpoint is 22°, which means that it would be 90% RH if the temperature were 24°. Dewpoints are a better reflection of perceived humidity than RH. (22° is quite humid but not super humid.)

Currently watching a Nassau-registered cruise ship called "Quantum of the Seas" dock at Hakata Port's international passenger terminal the day before @w3c #tpac2019 in Fukuoka, Japan. (Reminds me of @firefox Quantum!)

Ugh. I had to remind @torgo last week that not having an umbrella wasn't a big deal because the rain wouldn't make him cold.

I once boarded a 747 by stairs from a bus to a remote gate (I think United at FRA). Buses to the plane is quite common at gate-constrained European airports.

I went to Shōwa Kinen Kōen a few years back because their cherry blossoms are about a week behind the rest of the Tōkyō metro area, and when you happen to arrive on April 15 (2017), that's useful.
