    Crickets !!

    Well, it's almost December and I am still running the air conditioner and fans, I am still hearing an occasional cricket chirping and, i am still getting occaisional mosquito bites outdoors. And yet over a month ago we had an October snow storm. Talk about psychotic schizo weather !!

    The chirps are in your head?

    This building is kept too warm. About 72-73 degrees F which I consider to be uncomfortably warm for indoors. I prefer the temps around 62-66 indoors. Normally at this time of year I keep a window open and that is enough to keep the temp down to a comfortable level. But since it's been so unseasonably warm I've had to throw on the air conditioner.which I have set to 66 degrees. earlier I was taking a rest and the Ac kicked on, cooled the room down and was taking it's sweet time to shut back off. I woke and it was freezing. I had to shut it manually. Looks like I'll probably be using the AC till about Wednesday. It's going to be quite warm till Wednesday and then more seasonably cool for a few days.

    September oktober, november too warm and dry for what it should be.
    looking at 12 C in the daytime when it should be 3 or 4 C, 7 mm rain over this month 80 mm normal...
    Flowers started to bloom again, leaves just dropped off the trees 2 months late, and it'll stay like this at least another 14 days.

    We had snow on the ground this time last year. Now, temps are hovering around 50F with a predicted cooling trend towards the end of the week. If it doesn't snow much (or at all) this year, not a single tear will be shed.

    You got that right, I'm still using the bike for work. The ride in is a bit nippy, but the ride home is great. Hope it lasts.

    Too much rain forecast here for a motorcycle commute early this week, George - but I'll get at least one day later on to ride in. Since temps will be in the high 20s I'm going to need the heated clothing.

    On the pedal-bike front, I got 75 miles in between T-Day and Black Friday. Could have gone Saturday too (temps in the mid 60s) but needed to do some maintenance work on the bikes.
