Cold Front Consequence

1st 2:  almost identical phone camera photos

Cold front rode in on powerful winds last night dropping the temperature noticeably.  Dr. K, Willow, Frio and I felt the difference on our hike this morning, although conditions weren't too bad because of the bright sunshine.

Whenever the wind picked up, however, the lower temperature was more than evident.  Nevertheless we did our entire trek without much discomfort.

On our way home we drove over to the PanAm Center to mail a few bills, and the traffic around the university was awful.  Workers are doing construction on the site of the old Dairy Queen and the parking lot is blocked off in multiple places.
