Massive T-storms here last night -- at least it's broken the heat dome, but it took out power all around us (but not us!). 10 am and it's 28C "feels like 35C" (highs around 32C today). More rain forecast here today through Monday and temps continuing to drop to mid-20s highs. Yay! Also lots of fireworks this weekend as folks here celebrate independence from Britain—and I get asked at least once every year "Do you celebrate July 4th in England?" 👀 Started testing my projects against Clojure 1.13 and updating our code at work—one app already live, more to come next week. I'm liking :keys! and the new non-binding & key destructuring!

I was once in the US for the 4th of July and we asked some people if they could tell us independence from whom.

I bet that went well? So many Americans don't know their own civics history!

it was interesting shall we say.....
