Good to hear you are safe and recovering fro your surgery, Godfrey! It was 57 F this morning when I went out to walk the dog. Clear as a bell, and very pleasant now, peaking about 80.
It's also quiet, as there have been no helicopters or fighters overhead, as there were the last 2 weekends, when the President was visiting his golf course just a few miles north of here.
