nightdog_barksCold and grey, slight possibility of a little sleet and/or frozen rain. 30 degrees (-1.1 degrees Celsius), with a gusty wind out of the north. Have brought plants back inside (Chango helped by racing back and forth in the backyard with a ball).
Started reading Colossus last night -- so far it is very good, although I did have a "Dear Author" moment when Hiltzik talked about Spanish explorers (Francisco Coronado's men) seeing the Grand Canyon, and then mentioning about twenty pages later that Joseph Christmas Ives would be "the white man who finally located the Grand Canyon." Er. I think he means that Ives was the first to find the canyon's downstream entrance, but, er.
... and now the sun is trying to come out. Hm.
