Not much to write about on the monsoon-y day. Because it’s been such a cloudy week the pool has dropped down to 88 degrees. They say by this weekend we’ll be back up in the 100s, so hopefully we’ll get another few weeks of pool season. But there is little doubt the days are getting shorter – I can tell by the amount of light available when I have my 7 AM calls with India that the seasons are a’ changing.

It’s amazing how much rain they’ve gotten on the far north side of the Valley this week. We’ve gotten a little rain here in Gilbert, but nothing to write home about. It’s been a nice break from all the heat, though. And the fact that much of the rain we’ve had is from “early season” storms coming off the Pacific bodes well for a wetter than average winter.

My Goodboys pals aren’t going to want to hear this, but Joe Bastardi at the Weather Bell has been calling for the same thing on his free weekly summaries for quite some time.
