WEATHER REPORT
Today: Breezy, rain. High in the low 70s.
As I eat the rest of my Halloween candy, I wonder:
Tonight: Showers. Low in the mid 50s.
Is it a coincidence that Halloween falls right as the weather starts
to get colder, so that you can stock up on body fat for the upcoming
frigid winter…
Tomorrow: Showers. High in the mid 50s.
Or is it just the gods laughing at us?
