Quick sales announcement: Oh, you just saw it up there. I do wish Amazon would allow authors to run sales in more than two regions.
Weather: We received the first snowfall a couple of days before Halloween. Now, this isn't unusual. Many a parent in Canada has spent scads of money or worked tiredly on theirs child's costume, only to cover it over with what we Canadians call a skidoo suit (that would be a ski suit or full body winter jacket elsewhere).
For a week and a half, the temperature stayed below freezing, although the sun and lack of humidity did a pretty good job at evaporating the snow cover. Did I mention I put on my studded tires on my bike? No? They work well on packed snow but on bare pavement, man do they ever hum.
I also saved money by spending $550 on steel rims for my vehicle's snow tires. Now, by changing them myself, I don't have to pay $150 twice a year to have it done at a garage. So in two years I will have recouped my expenditure.
Back to the weather.
The last few days have been quite delightful, the temperate rose several/many degrees above freezing and will stay like that until at least the weekend. Are above freezing temperatures in November unusual? It happens, but not often.
