The sun will rise this morning at 8:42, and set 9 hours 49 minutes later at 6:30 this evening. The jet stream is still keeping it warm here, but the wind has come up enough to blow most of the leaves off of the trees. It doesn’t feel like winter yet, but I think fall is just about over.
I flew down to Anchorage last Thursday to see my surgeon, and everything looks good. It would be nice if my balance would return (not to mention my hair) but I still have hopes. Meanwhile I’m trying to get ready for a much longer trip, to Arizona, Tulsa, and upstate New York. Interesting packing problem. As of 9:16 last night it was 46° F here, 68° in Arizona, 66° in Tulsa and 61° in New York. When I come back to the airport it could easily be 30 below. And highs in Arizona, at least, suggest shorts would be appropriate. And I need to keep my luggage down.
Interesting problem.

I suggest at least a light pair of slacks for Tulsa. We’re cooling down and it’s a bit damp with some rain. Shorts are comfortable enough but to help cover from Alaska to here, you can see what I mean.
I hope your trip goes well. One day, I would love to meet you in person. You’ve become one of my most read authors and I only have Horse Power. 🙂
I expected slacks for Tulsa, and I know I’ll need them in Ithaca. It’s Arizona where I’ll need shorts.
I’ll be spending a couple of extra days in Tulsa, as my sister and brother-in-law are visiting friends in Arkansas, so I might have time to meet you. My cell phone’s 907 7505104 and I’ll be in town Oct 25-30 with the first few days at the cousins’ reunion. You can leave a message with Karen Cardenas in Tulsa, and I’d love to meet fellow authors.
Cool! As far as I know, I’m free in the evenings. It will be a pleasure to meet you. I’ll give you a call the 28th so we can set up a time and place.
I won’t have transportation, and I’ll be staying at the Wingate Hotel.
That’s okay. I know where the Wingate is. I don’t life too far from there.
Regarding your packing dilemma, you could save a little room if you don¹t mind sleeping in the raw. ;- )
Your cousin, Karen

But then I’d have no place to put my insulin pump.
