398. From Sweat to Sweater

What a difference a day makes. After a beautiful full moon on the 14th, the weather here along the Left Bank of the Ohio River near Milepost 606 was a somewhat uncomfortably warm 86 degrees. There was a slight breeze and you could smell the rain somewhere in the distance. Evening came and morning followed.

This morning's temperature at the bus stop was 56 degrees. The mercury rose only to the low 60s, a frankly more appropriate temperature for mid-October than what we've been experiencing. Tonight's low is supposed to dip into the 40s.

There will be some Indian Summer later in the year. For now, the arrival of Autumn, officially occuring three weeks ago, is complete.

Happy Birthday to my friends Irving Montero, who is 38, and John David Miller, who is 35.
