Brrr. Looking Forward to “Indian Summer”
I’ve been working at home all day instead of at the office because of the icy, wet, and dank stuff that was coming out of the sky this morning. I am really looking forward to the warmth of “Indian summer” next week, though less so to the 30 hours plus or minus of travel it will take to get there.
Current long range forecast for Chennai (and we’ll be heading south from there) is for highs in the low 80s F, lows in the high 60s. Salwar, sari, and dhoti weather.
Being Thankful
I gave thanks every day for my good fortune when we were traveling. On the last drive north, we went through areas of Tamil Nadu hit by the cyclone. The privilege and good fortune of being on our well-driven bus was even more telling knowing that we were only witnessing the aftermath of the cyclone through the windows from our air-conditioned comfort. We gave to a collection to repair roof damage that would have closed for some length of time a local school. I definitely was conscious of how much more we were engaged in the situation and wanted to help because we knew (albeit not well) people who were impacted.
