You might hate me a little bit by the time this post is over.
Not only do I get to make cool stuff professionally, but this is the view less two blocks from the place where I get to make cool stuff professionally.
Also? It is 78 degrees Fahrenheit. (Because the weather is so beautiful, I'll even do the conversion for you Celsiophiles: 26.)
There is a refreshing breeze, which stirs up the lake bottom, creating the subtle color striations in the water. A refreshing breeze also means low humidity.
Sadly, I can't use the phrase, "Not a cloud in sight," because, well, there is a little cloud there.
For those of you trapped in a cube somewhere, I'm sorry that we have seven miles of lakefront walking and biking trails, which also run from the place I get to make cool stuff professionally to the quirky old house where I get to make nifty stuff just for fun.
I'm sorry that we have a cool brewery, too. And that it's right on the lake.
Just to add insult to injury, the view facing away from Lake Superior is verdant. Beckoning.
So, go ahead and make fun of us for being hypothermic and for having to travel by dogsled nine months out of the year, that's your prerogative. But as of today, August 19? I'll take diamonds on the water, breezy warm air, trees in full leaf, a chocolate malt, and a chocolate lab.
Before I return from my lunchbreak and go back to making cool stuff professionally.
