Sunshine

[jhetley]

I thought I needed to record that. We probably will teeter on the divide between "Partly Sunny" and "Partly Cloudy" today, though one can hope that the "Partly Cloudy" doesn't run down the gutters into the leaf-clogged catch basins...

Also warm, by the standards of a Maine December, with temperatures back into the 40s F again today. T'ain't natural, and no good will come of it. Especially no-good for the ski resorts and snowmobile lodges. But averages tend to average out somewhere, so we watch the northern sky with a sense of foreboding.

Will go out for a walk shortly -- take 'em when you can get 'em. Don't know if I'll be ambushed by Tiger again. He came charging across the street last night, with many complaints about how his family has been abusing and neglecting him. Not a bad act for a cat somewhere over ten years old.

Also batted my heels when I tried to leave before he was through with me.

They're worrying about the winter snows around here, too. No ski resorts in the area except for The Balsams, but miles and miles of snowmobile trails. A couple of the tiny tiny towns north of us make most of their year's money in the snowmobile season, and after two sucky ones in a row they're hurting bad.

Poor snowmobile trails are bad for accidents, too . . . the die-hard snowmobilers come up and use them anyway when they're mostly ice and half-buried rocks, and then the ambulance squad has to fetch the rescue sled and haul them out of the woods.

Yeah, decent conditions for a walk are getting harder and harder to find. Especially since I dislike walking in the dark when it's cold on top of that (and even if it's a nice day, by the time I get home, it's dark).

Warm and dark - fine. Even cool and dark - fine. Cold and dark - don't care for it. Well, unless I have company. Then I can deal.
