Drove down to the express bus stop, because I was running late didn’t feel like taking the local downtown. It really isn’t that far from home but I do get tired of taking the local to work.

A fairly nice morning but warm. Then again, springs and autumns simply aren’t as cold as they once were. Anybody who can read the weather records can see the slow  but steady rise in average temperatures in the Albany area. Very warm tonight – it may break the record for the highest low temperature recorded tonight. Uncomfortable sleeping for sure.
