And Now The News

stoutfellowGood news: The Padres broke their scoreless-innings streak at 30 last night, erupting for a 13-6 win over the Rockies in Colorado. (Of course they broke the streak in Denver. If they hadn't, there'd be no hope whatever for them.)
Also good news: The writing of my taxonomy paper is proceeding, if slowly; basically, I'm progressing one proposition at a time, having to hammer out the clumsiness of each proof before continuing. I've pretty much finished the discussion of first-order classes of triangles, with a general proposition about all orders as lagniappe.
Not-so-good news: The formatting methods of SWP v.6 continue to elude me. Most irritatingly, cut-and-paste has unpredictable effects inside math mode, and the Undo command is even worse there. If I make a wrong move (and I don't know what the wrong moves are) the entire passage may disappear irrevocably, at which point the only option is to quit without saving. (I'm being careful to save regularly, after last week's scare.) There's something weird going on when I try to mix propositions, proofs, and numbered lists - the indentation gets funky, and I don't know how to fix it. (Wrong moves abound in this area.)
Also not-so-good news: We keep sliding back into subfreezing temperatures. Right now it's just above freezing, and I need to get groceries. It's supposed to reach the mid-40s F by about 2:00, so I'll hold off till then.
The current song is rather apropos.
