My new mug (Pennsic-camp gift) holds the same volume as my favorite goblet. I filled the mug to the brim, and poured that into the goblet - filled to the brim.
The mug won't spill as easily as the goblet. I should find out what this volume is....
[18oz/525cc. Figure 16oz to avoid spilling, rather than filled to the brim. That's significantly more than a 12oz/355ml soda/beer.]

I mowed the lawn tonight. It's been raining/thunderstorming almost every day, and this was one of the few evenings it skipped. I should have started earlier. It was dark when I finished. The lawnmower's headlights, an annoying waste of energy for daytime mowing, were not on tonight. (They were on when I started, before it got dark.) I don't think this is the first time the lights were out at night. (There's not that many times I've finished up in the dark.)

I just found an Armistice Merchant List on line: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1npSJbdkoUfPmXt_B2TgXx1p_sKR5yJTJ1EN2QMFJQrM/edit?fbclid=IwAR3Zk1ytYSL4DOSg30OUaxZ4rhz-nJZHLfaO4KRHDMYJGmts2k8RC1Q5ZF4 .
It would have been more useful 2-3 weeks ago.
I found the link on Facebook; I don't think it was mentioned anywhere on the Cooper's/Armistice web site. (What is the point of having your own site if you don't put your information on it?)

I just learned that Armistice had a mayor. Someone named Manuel.
(Pennsic has a mayor every year. It seems to be someone different every year, preferably with an understudy/assistant role the preceeding year? Pennsic XLIX has had the same mayor for 3 years, with the Covid cancellations postponements.)
And the organizers were expecting everyone to rely on on-line listings. That's something people would need to know before they arrived.... (Like my desire for a printed class schedule.)
And those on-line listings were not being updated during the event. (Not even afterward.)

I've just found the missing parts to use the universal laptop power supply directly off 12 volts. And the 12v USB power adapter was with them. I made do without them at Armistice, but with them I could have been writing DW/LJ entries on the laptop while they were fresh.
I'll have to be more thorough checking my packing list next year.

The 2021 Arlington County Fair is this weekend. It's pouring rain right now as what's left of Tropical Depression FRED moves north.
[The weather was nice Friday afternoon, and through the weekend. I did not get to the Fair.]
