At least around here, the fog seems to be mostly clouds π« and that’s keeping things cooler for now. I should go for a morning walk πΆ now and then get milk π₯ and have breakfast π₯£ before things warm up a bit. I want to get to the library π fairly early so I can upload π€ and test my photo uploader. πΈ
Today will be mostly sunny π, with a high of 82 degrees at 3pm. Typical for today. Maximum dew point of 65 at 7am. South wind 6 to 8 mph becoming west in the afternoon. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 83 degrees. The record high of 99 was set in 1955.

I got to think about packing for summer vacation soon. πΌ Maybe a little bit today but I’ll do most of the packing probably on Thursday. Not sure if I will leave before or after work on Friday, I guess it depends on my work schedule, I probably could work remotely if I stayed overnight in Madison County on Friday. I’m thinking π I might not be ready to leave until then as I’m kind of a slow packer.
Really not sure how nice things will be next week π»but we will see. If it’s cloudy and rainy I’ll bring my screen tent πͺ and use it for shelter at camp. π It’s still nice to get away and after next week I expect work to be non stop through November. π³οΈ
