Autumnal rains. They've soaked into the toes of my shoes. I have a gnarly software problem waiting for me at home, but for now my thoughts leave it as I step out into the drizzly day. When you work from home, days can go buy between excursions outside; to step out into the open air is a welcome change from the indoors. Despite the autumnal rains.

A fellow traveller greets me as he steps into the bus shelter. Relations are more cordial when the weather threatens.

Saturday today. Plan is to head to the library downtown, pick up ten books, purchase miscellaneous items. These errands are a pleasant change of scene.
