Mother Nature Never Ceases to Amaze Me

Today my co-worker and I drove the NOLS Southwest Semester group out to the field on the final section of their semester. They will now be backpacking in the Galiuro Wilderness until December 3rd when their three month odyssey will be over. Almost like flipping a switch, Mother Nature went from warm temperatures to winter here in the Sonoran. They can expect temperatures below freezing in the evenings for the remainder of their journey.

With the six hours of driving that I did today taking the course to the field, we did not have a morning workout. We did however get in a decent lifting session in this evening.

Today's quote is from Whoopi Goldberg:

"That's the thing about Mother Nature, she really doesn't care what economic bracket you are in."
