Weather:
Similar to yesterday, with slightly slower winds and some clouds.

from the NNW to NE, but not so strong that they blew the chair over if you
got up.

A fairly quiet day, mostly TV, but a mix of others too.
Locals: TV, BV, BE, CH, RS and RT.

Non-raptor Observations:


Predictions:
Tomorrow should be a little warmer, starting in the low 50's and climbing
to the upper 60's with much more cloud cover. Winds fairly light and
mostly from the South.
