Fall is Here

according to the calendar, according to the weather, and according to the foliage. And people wonder why I moved here from SoCal. These pictures are from my drive in to work this morning.

On Highway 2:

On 10th St SE:

On the driveway at work:

How many people are blessed with a commute that looks like this?  Granted, it will look a lot different in 5 months.

Had quite a series of T-Storms roll thru yesterday beginning about 5 AM thru about 8 PM last night, left about 1-3/8 inches of rain in my gauge.  As the the photos show, the sky was clear and bright this morning.

The daylight is changing rapidly also. Just a few weeks ago (it seems) sunset was at 9:30 PM, tonight it's at 7:06 PM.  Tomorrows daylight will be 3m 21s shorter than today.

Gas is still at 3.599.  Got the '89 Horizon back last Saturday, cost me almost $400 to get the 4 struts installed, 2 new tires, and alignment.  Goes down the road very nicely now, it's a pleasure to drive.

Makes me want to get going on the '83 Horizon, which needs a ton of work.  Discovered the other day when getting it ready for winter that the front wheel hub bearings are loose and noisy.  I'm pretty sure they were replaced back in the mid 90's, and it hasn't had a lot of miles since.
