Almanac: Thursday, September 29, 2005

Today met us with fair conditions. We have spent the entire month without rain. The wind-speed varied between 0 and 2 knots in a predominantly southerly heading. The high today was 75 degrees at 11:37 AM when my coworker Nancy turned up the thermostat, as she claimed it was getting chilly. A low of 71 degrees was reached this afternoon at 3:52 following a similar thermostatic adjustment per Nancy's sense that it was getting stuffy. The humidity is very low, as usual. Fear abounds among the crew regarding papercuts. There was no sun.

There was a brief period around 5:00 PM in which the lobby smelled strongly of ladies perfume. Reports from Nancy confirm suspicion that this odor migrated to her office around 5:10 and remained until she briefly opened a window around 6:00. I don't think I like ladies perfume especially. This scent smelled something like sugar-water, rose-water, olive oil, and scratch-n-sniffs.

A long weekend awaits, and with it, planning for next week's weather. Today's button-up shirt and twill cotton pants certainly sufficed, but the week ahead could bring on the monsoon season. And the days are only getting shorter this time of year. I intend to conduct a short study of my sweaters before nightfall.
