Quiet in the storm

Air temperature 18 F, wind near calm, clear sky. Peace be with you.

Long contrail morning

Walk accomplished pre-football. Got cussed by a red squirrel, always amusing with the ratio of body size to noise. Also encountered a cat over near the school that acted like I was a long-lost friend, even though I think I've only petted it once before. More petting and scritches applied.

PSA

Totally unprepared for conditions. Those hills are dangerous.
