Daylight diminishing.
Chilly again, but not as cold as yesterday. Windy, but not quite as windy. Worked in the morning, had lunch with a good old friend. Bundled up real good for my late-afternoon hike with Jack.
Just one other person on the hill today. No other dogs. Encountered a couple of bird species—and the usual lovely views.
Big winter storm’s supposed to paralyze a few big eastern cities to the south of us, but we’re only due about three inches. Meanwhile, last year was Earth’s warmest in the human record.
Go figure.
