ME III: Wrapping up

· Maine Event

We are officially here less than one week more. The great transition is upon us. Today was cool and rainy and the evening qualified as nippy as there was a cold breeze. The high today was 54° and the low was 43° and there has been light rain most of the day. Tomorrow it looks like rain all day long.

Today we got in a couple walks in the rain but it was a little too cold to stay out too long. Matt finished up a big chunk of volunteer work for Hesperian on the HealthWiki which I'll review tomorrow and fiddle with things. Everything is moving forward pretty smoothly. I started packing and cleaning and cooked a bunch of the food left in the house. We are aiming to finish as close to nothing left as possible.

This interesting article is about the huge number of myopic children (90% in Taiwan) in Asia and how they have figured out that it is connected to a lack of outside time.

Portland got a new part of its clean team named the Meryl Sweep.

Leaf changing is fully arrived at the coast and for some trees, they are already done.

Have a fun night!

Very good bird day – 17 species.
