WEATHER FORECAST
Today: Partly cloudy. High in the low 70s.
I assume everyone was extraordinarly grateful for the end of Daylight
Savings Time last night…
Tonight: Cloudy. Low in the mid 50s.
The only problem is that when the extra hour comes on the Saturday
night that is being celebrated as Halloween, no one’s getting any extra
sleep at all…
Tomorrow: Breezy, with showers. High in the mid 50s.
Darn.
