October Weather

Well, October started out September-like but has made up for it the past week.  A very big wind and rain storm mid-week.  Amanda and I sat in the living room and watched the huge triple pane windows do the wugga wugga dance...no danger...but still kinda eerie.  Bet we had some hurricane force gusts.  More of the same (not quite as windy though) yesterday and the classic "rain - heavy at times - and high winds" predicted for tomorrow night.  Followed by mixed rain and snow later in the week...followed by partly cloudy and low temperatures in the upper 20's. 

On Thursday we got a little break and I took Nikki out to the dike trail.

 Nikki LOVES the dike trail.  Runs like a jack rabbit on the wetlands.

The snow creeps down Eaglecrest Valley.  Still great views from the dike trail...

...until you look towards the airport.  Gotta love the prison rec yard look...

All my roommates are now present and accounted for...  Adam got in last evening.  He missed his plane in Seattle so got to spend his birthday hanging-out at Sea-Tac.  He is still snoozing...

...as are Enrique and Amanda who indulged in the Juneau downtown Halloween club scene last night.  I expect it will be a quiet day for the boarders.

Yesterday Amanda got a hot tip on a very reasonably priced apartment downtown on Gastineau Avenue.  She went to inspect and immediately said she would take it.  Great location and cute - though small, of course.  She is delighted.  The joint is being painted and otherwise made ready; but she hopes to move in within a couple of weeks.  We need to go furniture shopping.

Later gang!
