Retro - Winter

Temperatures fell overnight
we start at 34 F Sunday

This drop is a blip and Monday etc will look to be in the 40 - 50 at least.

I semi - follow the Ebola outbreaks for interest. See as copied here from CBC on line

The outbreak in Congo, also known as Congo-Kinshasa, has resulted in 1,220 confirmed and probable cases, including 772 deaths, since it was declared on Aug. 1. It has become the second-deadliest in history, behind the West African one from 2014-16 that killed more than 11,300 people.

This outbreak has had political, armed and social problems. Likely this outbreak will need 6 months or so to settle out.
Fake news - many Congo-ese are claiming that Ebola is a government trick.
The area is rife w/ civil war
Distrust of the government has fueled attacks on Doctors Without Borders' aid stations forcing closures.
Ugly is what it is
