Hope everyone is well today. Computer is acting up a bit again. I'm tired, but what else is new. Bolted down my bacon and eggs, now am trying to wake enough to finish getting ready for work. Overcast, damp morning now, but supposed to clear later. For the next few days it will be in the low 70's (around 22 C)--which are my kind of temperatures, but then it's supposed to clear up for the rest of the week, and get blistering hot, for one last shot of summer. Dang. I hate really hot weather--nearly 90 F, (around 29 C), yuck. I know some people like the blistering heat, but I'm not one of them. Call me perverse, but I rather be cold, thanks. I can deal with rain (as long as it's not freezing (ice) rain, 'cos I've had enough slip and falls for one lifetime already, thanks), or 25 below zero, F.

Ah well, autumn will be here, soon enough. At least it will be nice for the big street party/Hawaiian luau downtown, Thursday night. Still seems odd to me, that here out on the opposite side of the country--6 hours from the state of Hawaii, in a mill city of 15,000 souls, in New York, in the mountains/country, that they'd choose a luau theme, over a country theme, western theme, or a lumberjack theme or whathaveyou. Any excuse to convince themselves that their city is a draw for the tourists--most of whom don't even know that this city exists, and probably could care less.
