Happy Tuesday, everyone! Tuesday is easily one of the most forgettable days of the week but on this particular day, many great things happened in history: the completion of Handel’s Messiah, the canonization of the first American saint, and the first gas balloon flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Sure, you might think you’re super busy with all your homework and comp meetings, but you’re not flying in a gas balloon all by yourself or composing one of the most famous oratorios. Really puts things in perspective.
IN THE ATMOSPHERE
It’s going to be nice and warm for most of the day, with highs of 83. However, the lows of 58 are a chilly reminder that winter (or Cambridge’s sad excuse for “autumn”) is coming. Enjoy this while we can. In a few months, 58 degrees would practically seem like high summer.
