Sunday, 16 October 2016 (1st night of Sukkot)

I got up a rather late this morning, after dreaming about trigonometry, solving triangles in particular. Who knows? Anyway, I didn't go out for a walk.

I did walk into town, though, after breakfast. First, I bought a large envelope to mail my U.S. ballot in. It cost ONE shekel (which is cheaper than just about anything I can think of!). Then I walked on to the Zebra pet store, in the industrial area. I was hoping they would have mice, but they didn't. So I then walked over to the pet store where I've been getting live mice (until they didn't have any last week), and they also had none. I just bought a bag of cat litter and took a taxi home (the bag is MUCH to heavy to carry any distance).

I had a salad, beans and weenies, and baklava for lunch.

In the morning, I had sent an e-mail to the makers of the Synful Orchestra telling them about it not loading. I was pleasantly surprised to get a prompt response! It turns out that I needed to upgrade to the new version, which was free. The message also included exactly how to do it, and so I did, without any problems whatsoever. Now THAT is customer service! Of course, I then set to work again on the second movement of my symphony. I didn't actually do very much, but the changes I did make are good, and I've got some ideas now for continuing, which I'll experiment with tomorrow.

In the evening, I went for a long walk around the big loop, somewhat extended, in fact. I took a lot of pictures, but I have chosen one of the Sukkot full moon over Aqaba as today's pic of the day:

I walked a total of 11.3 kilometers today.

I'll close with this verse in honor of Sukkot, which began this evening:
ושמחת בחגך והיית אך שמח
And you will be happy in your holiday, and you will be only happy!
