We noticed a couple of things had changed since we left Seattle for two weeks. The most noticeable was that a lot of the leaves on trees have already changed colors and some trees have shed their leaves almost completely. The sun rises like 20 minutes later and sets like 20 minutes earlier than before we left. It's also a lot colder, with highs this week mostly in the 50s, compared to highs above 70 (including a high of 84) the week when we left.

One of the new buildings downtown has gotten closer to completion (after like a year and a half of construction) and the sidewalk finally opened up again, which will be nice. The scaffolding over one of the sidewalks on my way to work has been removed after being there as long as I can remember. I guess a lot of stuff can happen in two weeks.
