Good morning GH. It has just passed 3:15 AM here in our fair city and the current temperature on the Weather Center is 71 degrees, while outside, it is only 56. Sugar the Weather Dog isn't expecting anything until later this afternoon when the chance of precipitation increases to 50%.

I didn't get in any guitar playing on Saturday, just too busy. But I hope for some time today. That may depend on my ogre of a boss. She often demands a lot of work for low wages.

I watered the pots and things on the palatial estate yesterday. That should ensure the rain today; or not. Fortunately, it has been cool enough that the water isn't evaporating very quickly. However unfortunately, when you are growing vegetables that require sunlight and warmth, they don't do so well.

I love listening to people walking by on the street in the wee hours. I think that they are on their way home from jobs or patronage in the local bistros. But you can make up any scenario that you like. Either way, they get to enjoy the streets of our city with public safety on the job and protecting them.

Mary and I traveled to one of the many state parks near to us on Saturday. This one has both beaches, and just down the road, a campground where they were holding a vintage camper show this weekend. Mary took some great pictures, so I'll let you look at her blog for more info.

Today, as noted earlier, guitar, work, and maybe some bike riding after Sugar takes me for a walk. She took us on a different route Saturday morning and we met our letter carrier whom she actually likes and wants to meet and greet. However, as she approaches him, she gets her shy on and won't approach him directly. Go figure.

In sports today, I'll keep it short. Boys in blue, 2 - 6 loss. Tigers, 6 - 4. Beloved Red Sox, 7 - 2 behind the 9 - 0 pitching of Bucholz. The Caps. 0 - 2 to the Lansing Lugnuts. The Blackhawks, two overtime periods, but they beat the Kings 4 - 3. On to the Stanley Cup finals against the Boston Bruins.

Time to return to bed and bliss followed by...Tea time. Ciao.
