Humidity still high in SC

There is a sense of accomplishment when you roll out onto the road at 5:20 to begin the day with a brisk walk (or run for those who still have the knees.) It was that way this morning, though the humidity brought the first rivulets of sweat before I got out of the driveway. September in Hartsville like July in upstate NY.

The reason for this observation in this post is just to note the opportunities for observation that being active offers. If you stay under the covers until time to get ready for work, you don't always get to notice the steamy nature of early September -- until you head to your car and get the air conditioning churning.

And, what is becoming increasingly obvious is that we are heading back into the dark. The crack of dawn is barely audible as I finish the four miles on these early September mornings and as the days pass, I am going to be finishing before the dawn actually breaks.
