Good morning GH.  It is now 7:00 AM and the sun has not quite risen,  Sugar the Weather Dog is lying near the side of the bed, so that means that although she moved back to her own bed in the middle of the night, we can expect more storms here.  My desktop temperature is showing a balmy  64 degrees, and that means that walking should not require a jacket or other outer garment this morning, except for a rain coat.  Mary may disagree, but that is her prerogative.  Weather.com is showing 63 degrees with light rain and thunder.  (Is there such a thing as light thunder?)  I could have told them that, having consulted with Sugar the Weather Dog just a few minutes ago.  A look out the Weather Window shows gray skies and dry streets at the moment, so the rain forecast is not for right now.  However, I'll trust Sugar's instincts every time, when it comes to predicting storm fronts.  I got out on my bike yesterday and enjoyed the beautiful weather like everyone else.  That was before the front came through yesterday afternoon.  Mary, Sugar and I were watching a live version of the GH channel from the front porch, and you could feel the temperature drop and the wind kick up.  I guess in that way, we also have a Weather Porch, but I doubt that I will consult that source on a regular basis.  We hope we have resolved the bottle return snafu at the local grocery store, because their machine doesn't recognize a product that they are selling.  The clerk had to override the inventory control system that was not able to read an individual bottle.  It was only able to read the entire carton..  What a country.  In answer to Adam's query about a local fish monger, it appears that the closest thing we have here in GH is our regular market.  He will have to try that, or go to Grand Rapids.  He might like the drive, but without a cooler, it will be a long ride for the fish which would likely spoil.  I suggest that the local place would be better.  He might even want a cooler for that excursion.  Of course, he and I have plans to take a fishing charter to try to catch some of our own, but that isn't a regular source, nor a necessarily reliable one.  Otherwise, not much on tap for today, so it is now...Tea time.
