49F, breezy (5-15 mph) w/ pretty stratocumulus clouds. Easy run. 20 min. strength. Did you know there is a website for Cloud Appreciation Society? What an incredible world. I stumbled across it while trying to find the name for these clouds that were out today. 
How to hate the time change, even though I prefer fall back to spring forward. It shouldn't be that difficult. Set each clock back one hour. However... You see, we have this grandfather clock that stops chiming at night. (Very handy.) When I set it back yesterday, the little bolt that holds the hands on must have fallen off, because it was still at 9:30 AM when it was mid-afternoon. I found the bolt, found the problem, and moved the hands forward to the correct time. (Insert smack on forehead here.) Just because the hands weren't tracking due to a missing bolt doesn't mean the clock wasn't keeping time. So as I moved the hands to their "proper" place I was actually setting the clock several hours forward. At about 3 AM, the clock thought it was morning and... started chiming! Out of bed I go to turn off the chime, not really knowing why it is chiming in the middle of the night. Then I lay there trying to get back to sleep and wondering why why why... Round 2. Background: I gave Mr. Sno a very snazzy alarm clock for xmas a couple of years ago, thinking he would enjoy this cool high tech thing. But he doesn't. In fact, it is a completely non-intuitive piece of garbage and has given the poor man endless trouble, but I think he's too polite to throw it out the window. You need PhD's in engineering and psychology to operate his clock. Just as I was (finally) drifting back, Mr. Sno's clock starts up with its chime. "No way." Time: 4:05 AM. Sure enough, the clock had sensed a lack of PhD in its operator and had reverted to Revenge Mode, going off at whatever time would be least convenient. By 4:45 I was still half awake and horribly tired. I want a do-over. But I'll have to wait until tonight. I think I may go to bed on the old time and try again tomorrow.
