The weather today here in Spokane is looking a lot closer to normal after a few days of unseasonably warm weather. It’s pretty amazing that just a couple days back we had a high in the mid 70’s. It’s almost November for goodness sakes.

Unfortunately today’s abrupt return to temperature normalcy came with a lot of wind overnight and my Monday leaf blowing handiwork has essentially been erased. On the other hand I actually enjoy using my trusty “Weedeater Barracuda”:http://www.weedeater.com/products/blowers/electric/prod_2595.asp quite a bit after twenty odd years of raking. There’s something innately cool about being able herd leaves with the barrel of a roaring 195 mph wind blaster.

Speaking of weather, “rssweather.com”:http://www.rssweather.com/ is a very cool new weather service for RSS newsreader junkies like myself. It’s very easy to set up feeds to monitor multiple cities that you may be interested in.
