Turned on the Heat Today
So my hotel in Kentucky charged a ridiculous $9.99 per day for internet access. Needless to say, I didn’t agree to those charges, and so I didn’t do any writing from Louisville. Of course, when I got my bill, I saw that they’d removed the charge for the one day I did agree to because I was staying on a corporate rate. D’oh. I should have asked about that before assuming I’d have to pay.
Anyway, I arrived back in Portland from the extreme heat of Louisville and was granted by some splendid fall weather. Saturday and Sunday were both in the mid sixties and sunny during the day. You couldn’t ask for nicer weather in October. Unfortunately, today has been cold (52° for a high) and drizzly. In fact, we finally gave in and switched on the heat this afternoon. It’s only set to 70°, and we’ll probably not go higher than that this winter, but it does feel a little like weakness to turn it on so early in the season. I guess that’s fall in Maine though.
I’ll still take this over Louisville. Smelling the salt air when I got off the plane was such a wonderful tonic. Coastal living is simply wonderful. She and I are still so happy we decided to take the plunge and head up here.
