So my Weather Channel app says 47 for Sunday, 44 for Monday.
Definitely going to be breaking out the sweaters, and I'm afraid the heavy coat might need to come into play, not just the Columbia fleece.
We have several employees from India. They are very smart and super polite. Two of them are from Chennai (pop 4.4 mil), the fifth largest city. BTW they still have a caste system, and parents still pick out the spouse for their children. The first time they meet, they have to decide yea or nay -- one of our guys met with his bride-to-be for about an hour before they got engaged.Just noticed that India is knocking on the door step of China for total population. I didn't realize that they were only a couple percent less in total population.

I don't know about that. October birthdays are cool; this week rocks.Happy bday @wxman1 but you were born one week late to be really cool.
I know that one of our employees (woman) wants to marry another that works for us, but her father is dead against it because he is of a lower caste than her.I've seen a couple of movies and such that depicted how there's a huge change between generations with this kind of stuff and that's also happened in other spots that have similar traditions.
Just kind of interesting how it happens as it's easy to get caught up in thinking it's an American thing to 'rebel'.
One week ago yesterday was still October.I don't know about that. October birthdays are cool; this week rocks.

Yes, you are correct.One week ago yesterday was still October.
Middle finger tip on my left hand is still tender after the hematocrit blood test prior to donating blood last Friday. Now they use the little plunger thing to get the needle in the finger, and PRESS AND HOLD IT DOWN FOR SEVERAL SECONDS! Don't know why they have to do that instead of just poking it and getting their drop of blood. It hurts.Typing with a bandaid on your fingertip is challenging
My brother in law has been over there for work a few times, to Hyderabad which is around 10 mil people. He is left handed so he got made fun of especially when eating because a lot of people in the lower castes use that hand to wipe their butt.We have several employees from India.

Back when I was still gainfully employed, co-worker flew home to India for a "vacation" and returned several weeks later with his new wife. We didn't even know it was in the works. We thought he was a permanent bachelor (he was in his mid thirties). He had never met her in person, although they had skyped.We have several employees from India.

Wait until you're a senior...every birthday is preceeded by a month of Medicare supplemental plan junk mail. Oh well, we shred them & use them for fire starter all winter.Thank you all for the birthday wishes. Spent the evening (well that one hour after the kids go down at least) looking at our annual insurance enrollment options. Living it up big.
Also found out that I have lost just shy of ten pounds so that was nice.

Last time I gave blood (August) they still used the same finger poke device as usual. Just a quick stab and that's it.Middle finger tip on my left hand is still tender after the hematocrit blood test prior to donating blood last Friday.

Will admit that if that was done here, I probably would not be married to my wife. I seemed to date the hot messes early on. Loud and opinionated (basically a female version of myself), my wife isn’t. Some were so nuts that I they even scared me at times. I was also one that most didn’t want their parents to meet.I can't decide if that makes the first "date" more or less stressful. I could see an argument for both sides.
