► Drizzle off and on all afternoon. Steady light rain since shortly after sunset. (44ºF/6ºC @ midnight)
► Rain paused at the moment, but a gusty and damp south wind is doing it's best to make the temperature feel 30º colder than it actually is. G'night. (45ºF/7ºC @ 4:45 AM)
► Just noticed the large (978g) container of coffee purchased last week had shrunk to 788g when purchased this week. Price didn't shrink.
I reckon I'm just getting old, but I remember when a large can of coffee was three pounds. Now, it's less than two pounds. Of course, I also remember metal coffee cans that opened with a key and those sharp-edged metal strips they created.
► Overcast with a very gusty south wind, but no rain has fallen in several hours. Rainfall total thus far 1.7" (4.3cm). (50ºF/7ºC @ 11:30 AM)
► I really must move on to more exciting activities. Washing the dishes is the first item on my agenda. (Overcast, damp, gusty south wind and 52ºF/11ºC @ 2:45 PM)
► Not chilling down nearly so quickly this evening. Still overcast, damp and windy, but southeast wind seems to be dropping off a bit. No additional rain either, though we still have a 50% chance of it. (54ºF/12ºC @ 8 PM)
► Temperature and cloud cover have held steady for the past twelve hours. Fortunately, the wind laid. (54ºF/12ºC @ midnight)
