----- Forwarded message from Rick Moen <r...@linuxmafia.com> ----- Date: Thu, 3 Oct 2024 17:58:09 -0700 From: Rick Moen <r...@linuxmafia.com> To: consp...@linuxmafia.com Subject: CABAL (in-person + Jitsi Meet), Sat., Oct. 5th (note date!) Organization: If you lived here, you'd be $HOME already.
This month, we'll hold CABAL two days from now on the _first_ Saturday (this Saturday, the 5th), and _not_ on the subsequent 2nd Saturday, the 13th. Will it be too hot? Happily, no! National Weather service says the current heat wave is breaking (ta-da!) on Saturday afternoon. The current forecast (mid-afternoon) max. temperature is 36°C (97°F) with a light breeze, at the closest reporting station, Palo Alto Airport. Predicted low for Saturday night is 17°C (66°F), light and variable wind. Thing is, it's usually way cooler at Chez Moen than most of the surrounding areas. NWS says it's 88°F at Palo Alto Airport at the moment, but it's a lovely 76°F on my back porch thermometer. So, I expect the same for 4pm and later on Saturday. What's for dinner? For starters, I'm making this spectacular and delicious baked chicken dish (2nd time cooked, first for CABAL): http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/recipes/roast-chicken-with-saffron-and-cinnamon.html That'll be with rice, a fresh salad, homemade garlic bread, and quite probably a fresh apple pie. See you there. Saturday, Oct. 5th, 2024, 4pm - 12am PDT (UTC -7) Rick & Deirdre's house 1105 Altschul Ave. @ Gordon Ave. W.
