We hit 30 yesterday and 26 today. After two weeks of single digit or
low double digit temps. 

My fault. I took my air conditioner out of the window on Sunday.

Lotsa leaves here. Everyone except me has at least six large deciduous
trees on their property, mostly oaks and something else. I have one of
the something elses. And it's not even in a good location.

I saw an elderly man raking leaves yesterday and again today. He
didn't seem to have made much difference. His entire lot is a good
foot deep in the things.
