Calling Monday's bluff

Today's forecast calls for partly cloudy and a high of 66° F, with a 22% probability of no rain. Looking out of the house this morning, I had purposed to keep the top up and latched for the drive in. However, the Miata was still wearing the top down from Friday night's post-commencement drive home, so I left it that way. The cloud cover was an ominous grey, but it was also thin. I could see the blue sky just beyond it in the thinnest patches. It was clearly a bluff, trying to look tougher and wetter than it really was. I called it.

And it's Monday. Which signifies pretty much nothing of note this morning. On the other hand, it is the start of the summer quarter break, which signifies a quieter campus for the next couple of weeks. Normally, I prefer the bustle of a busy campus, but I'm ready for things to slow down a bit and for the chance for some of us to get caught up (or closer to, at least).

The music this morning was good, but the playlist was short. It didn't feel like a quicker commute than usual, but since none of these tunes is especially long, it must have been.

The full playlist:

- Anna Nalick: Satellite
- Bruce Cockburn: The Mines of Mozambique
- Robert Walter: Cabrillo
