It's the sixth straight day of cloudy 40 degree weather. Haven't seen the sun and it's awful.

Yeah it's been cloudy and rain here almost every day for a few weeks, but been in the 50's and 60's. Let's take our shirts off and move to Cabo.

Finally a stretch of dry weather but it looks like the bottom is about to drop out next week.

Also I rented a car from Sixt in Atlanta a few years ago and I can’t get off their mailing list for the life of me. You’ll die in like 50 years and be reincarnated, and when you come of rental car age, they’ll start mailing you stuff again.
