Beautifully crisp and clear morning here during this window between two big storms of the Pineapple Express. I think it was 37F when I left the house at 6:40, which is about as cold as it gets here. Took the long way in. Many folks at bus stops said good morning and drivers were courteous and friendly. Maybe the holiday season is taking hold...

Thankfully, they got the building water heater working again. (Yesterday morning's shower was pretty brisk! Didn't need coffee after that.)

My assignment list is fairly short today and if my good luck holds out, maybe my boss will let me go home early and I can take the long way home too.
