Weather and lunar notes mix with stray space tale
A cluttered weather blurb reports 2 PM temperature at 73 with a high near 79 and a barometer of 28.88. It notes record highs and lows for past dates and weaves in a quirky anecdote about a lunar module scene named “Sandy.” The piece drifts into planetary talk and a fragmented, memory-like account of astronauts, sleep schedules, and a mock exploration, then shifts to regional forecast details for Colorado and Wyoming with showers, snow, and temperature ranges through Wednesday.
