For the pilots out there: Raw METAR is –

METAR KAUG 201253Z AUTO 34004KT 10SM CLR M03/M04 A3023 RMK AO2 SLP240 T10281044

Visibility is 10.0 miles/16.1 Kilometers with a few clouds and a clear ceiling.

We have had no rain overnight in this area.

Xmas time and the holidays in general are widely viewed as being escapism, and too much nostalgia. I am every bit of guilty as they claim for feeling exactly like that.

Brings to mind what CS Lewis wrote:

"Who are those the most opposed to escapism? Jailers."

Don't let the jailers catch you.
