This is more for my own records than a real item of interest: The weather here has been cool and damp for the past week; usually it stays bone-dry until Labor Day. (It’ll warm up again somewhat next week.)

Had a real, honest-to-God thunderstorm this evening: a rarity around here.
Meghan and I got the AC set up at Mom’s, I took care of a couple other tasks, and the four of us had dinner with her.
This evening is perfect weather, and everybody is taking a walk, and it makes me think of an Italian passeggiata , and so I’ve decided (I’ll come to my senses and/or forget about this by tomorrow) that when I retire from software I’ll open a combination espresso bar / nut-free gelateria up near the new bookstore.
We had snow showers off and on all yesterday afternoon, but no accumulation, and we seem to be past the freezing now.
It has gotten up to (barely) above freezing for the first time since Thursday afternoon.
