DAY 168 - COUNTING DOWN TO THE 50TH

GOOD AFTERNOON, CLASS OF '64

 Yesterday's "partly cloudy" became "cloudy with occasional rain". Today's "mostly cloudy" has become "a few clouds, blue sky and sunshine". The best weather report might be going outside and having a look. A slight breeze stirs the trees, and at 44° the cold nips ever so lightly at your nose but doesn't freeze your toes. Another out-and-about day, driving across town and back again, dodging a winter's worth of potholes all the way.
