Walked sans sticks this a.m. No pack. Out before 0500, encountered one walker, one bicyclist and two or three cars. Not bad.

Jupiter and Mars were very close together. Left the E-M1 Mk3 outside on the pavers behind a column to warm up while I was walking because the dew point was above the temperature outside. Update: Er, inside I mean. The camera was at 75°F, and the dew point was at 78°F, so fog-city on the glass. (Also, avoid zooming a a zoom lens until it's at ambient temperature. No need to suck saturated air into the lens.)

It was 80°F, 94% humidity. "Feels like" 88°F.

But I swung my arms and sweated. 16'48" pace. Couple of mosquito bites.

Got home and tried to use the camera to snap Jupiter and Mars. Too tired, sweaty and hot to be patient. Mental snapshot will have to do.

The Fluke IR thermometer was still on my desk. Out of curiosity, I went out and checked the road. 90°F surface temperature a little before 0600.
