				| Early morning sunlight first reaches the distant autumn trees and 
				sets the aspen aglow. When I awoke it was 28 degrees Fahrenheit, 
				by mid afternoon the radio station from a nearby town reported 
				that it was 82 degrees. In this kind of country you learn to 
				wear layers. Having arrived from Thailand just a few days 
				earlier, where the thermometer never drops below room 
				temperature, I wasn't acclimated to the cold. So I had a light 
				jacket, a down coat, and a wind breaker, and pealed them off one 
				at a time during the early morning hours. (Wyoming) |  |  |  |
