Forecast
Fri Oct 29 2004

My body is the best weather forecaster, bar none. I don't need to read the paper, or check the 'net weather page to find out what's coming. And I'm here to tell you that we're in for another storm.

I'm beginning to hurt. Again.

The paper said that today would be partly cloudy. What I saw was fully cloudy. And chilly! I think it was supposed to be 65 degrees today, but I doubt it got even that warm.

When I went out at 7:00pm, the clouds had departed, and I could see the glow in the eastern sky that presages moonrise. When I came out again to go back home, the sky was completely overcast again.

If this evening is any indication of winter to come, I'm going to have to buy a winter coat. I have a London Fog lightweight raincoat, and another warmer raincoat with a liner, neither of which is going to be adequate if winter is going to be as cold as I think it will be.

I'll be glad when spring comes around again.

In July/August I'll be complaining about the heat.

You say I'm never satisfied? Not quite true. I'd be happy with eternal spring (May is really nice), with a touch of fall now and then (I love the colors).

But that's not up to me, and I don't know of any place that would fill my requirements. Well, wishes, more accurately.

Even so, life is good.

Shalom
