Been a slow month

I haven't updated this not because I've been busy or lazy, but because not much has happened. It's just work, watch TV, go to dance class - nothing exciting has happened in the past few weeks. It has gotten colder, but it is late October, and that's to be expected. I am pleased to report that I can wear a normal sweater, my nice coat, gloves and a hat and be perfectly comfortable at 8 degrees. I don't even have to button the coat, unless it's windy. Add a turtleneck and make that a warmer sweater, and I feel pretty good. And I haven't even had to put on the heater yet. The low last night was 1 (yes, 1 degree, that's not quite 34 degrees F) and I didn't need it, and I only have my fall/spring comforter on the bed. This place is well insulated.

One interesting note is how far the earth has rotated. Maybe it rotates more when you are up higher in latitude, but the sun used to be in the center of the windows in the sunroom, now it is out the side window. That's about 7 feet it's moved to the right. If any of you math whizzes want to take a stab at how many degrees that is, please let me know.
