 Chilly here, too... It was 46 degrees this morning at 6:30 while I was
in the pool doing my daily 1 1/2 hour swim. But the water temperature was
85 degrees, so it wasn't as grim as it sounds... The main problem was
getting in and getting out (the brisk breeze was a bit punishing on warm,
wet, bare skin)...

Wasn't too bad out with the scope last night, though... Never had to
resort to anything more than a medium weight sweater over my t-shirt...
And the drive just kept turning silently along...
