Slowly Warming

 It's warming too slowly for my taste and the clouds are still hanging around. We actually had a bit of sleet last evening. I would be very happy for a winter of above average temperatures here, and more rain, but not sleet, not snow, and no ice. 










DST came to an end not long ago, but it meant nothing much to me, since I ignored it. Reset one wall clock and the dashboard clock. My Casio G-Shock Solar Atomic digital got its time signal from the NBS and reset automatically. I got that watch on eBay several years ago, actually about ten years ago. I think I paid about $40 for it and that was the high bid. I have no need to observe the DST nonsense and I have no need to be a snob, in the ordinary sense. I guess I'm a little snobbish about being smarter than 99% of the human race, based on all the tests I've taken over the years. But I never show off. I kind of like to come off as more or less ordinary. But I'm not, and that's a fact. My wife and I were in the same league.

Still Cool

 Still cool but the rain stopped and I see patches of blue sky and we are starting to get some sun.

Strong Norther

 Windy, cloudy, somewhat cold but it won't go below freezing for the lows and it'll rebound soon to seasonal norms. It takes a "strong" front to restore seasonal norms. Yesterday it was quite warm, much above average. But it felt really good. Sunny and warm with cool mornings? What's not to like about that? I'm still hoping for a relatively mild winter, but I've done my prep work for something more severe.

Another Day Of Phenomenal Weather!

 And I can't complain about the recent election results, either. Bracing! Very fine!










And although it turns rather cool tomorrow, low temperatures remain above freezing. And then it warms again.

The Mabinogian Tetralogy

 I am finally re-reading Evangeline Walton's retelling of the Welsh Mabinogian Tetralogy. There's an enormous amount of wisdom there. Profound truths, actually. My copies are old, from Del Rey Books, circa 1975. I would like to find out more about Evangeline Walton. So I'll turn to Google for that information. Maybe Wiki. 










I managed to overstress my right shoulder in the gym recently. I've had issues with my right shoulder for many years. I think I've finally got it conditioned and then it goes haywire again. I hate setbacks.
