Took the measure of the lawn today, quite literally. I set a tuna can out and worked the hose over each section by hand until it held thirteen millimeters, and the result was plain: I had been watering nowhere near enough, which accounts for the brown that has crept across the yard these past weeks. The corrected figure comes to roughly two minutes a grid. It is a small thing to have gotten wrong for so long, and a satisfying one to have finally caught. The rest of the day went to preparations for Blizzcon, which now sits close enough on the horizon to warrant them.
