Lobster Time

Posted at 6:04 pm MDT to Weather

Today I had my New England lobster dinner. I think the lobster had molted recently: the claw shells were a lot bigger than the meat inside. But that's just as well. I'm so full that I feel like a snake that swallowed a goat. The meal included a cup of clam chowder, mashed potatoes, veggies, and cornbread.

At least the carbs are warming.

When I packed for this trip, I thought about packing a light jacket. And then I thought: "it's August". Famous last words...

Highs here have been reaching 68 in the afternoons and temperatures are a good bit cooler in the mornings when I walk to work. The news this evenings said that temperatures are running 12 degrees below normal, and today's high would be more normal for September 30.

Fortunately, walking briskly while carrying my laptop bag (about 25 pounds including all of the stuff in it) has been keeping me warm enough. And it hasn't rained on me yet.

Tomorrow is supposed to be a little warmer, with only a 20% chance of rain. Friday is supposed to be closer to 'normal' temperatures, but a day or so ago they were saying that about Thursday.
