Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, It is just past 5:30 a.m. in "The City of Pensacola." Our current temperature is a windy 46° as we aim to arrive at the day's high of 55°. The National Weather Service has forecast rain for today in Pensacola, but in Grand Haven, the forecast calls for cloudy skies and a high of 21°. A quick look out the local Weather Window, shows me that it is dark with a side of dark.

A little side trip seems in order. I learned something that I didn't know while I was looking up the weather in GH. There is an additional city/town elsewhere in this hemisphere named GH. The other is GH, British Columbia, in Canada, where the high today is forecast to be 23° and cloudy. Sound like a familiar forecast? I'll take the forecast for Pensacola.

When the sun rises here at 6:46 a.m., Sugar the Weather Dog and I can go for a walk while Mary continues to work. I have a tough decision to make, but I think that I'll choose 55° and rainy over 21° and cloudy. To borrow from the play Annie, "The sun will come up tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow, etc,"

We have to cross the bridge from this island to the mainland today so that we can get something printed at at the local office supply big box store in Gulf Breeze, and we'll have to look down at the bay on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other. While I"m in a borrowing mood, what's that other line/title from Annie? Oh yeah, "It's a hard knock life, for us."

Otherwise, I have to put on my editor's hat and work on Mary's project once we get Back to the Island.". That is coincidentally the title of a song that I'm working on with Abaigael while we are here. Then I can get back to what's important, playing with Abaigael, reading another novel, and watching some inane television. What's not to like?

I finished a short novel on Mary's Kindle™ yesterday, that I had downloaded last summer, titled Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!: The Beatles and America, Then and Now, by Michael Tomasky. He is a political journalist. His short, but interesting journey through the America that existed shortly before and during the time of the British Invasion, is a must read for anyone of a certain age or anyone who is interested in music and history. I'm certain that many libraries have a print version of this book, and I recommend it without reservation.

Well that looks like enough for today and yesterday. The sun will set here today at 5:09 p.m. Pensacola is in the Central time zone, while GH, MI is in the westernmost part of the Eastern time zone. Naturally, Sugar the Weather Dog is still on that time. Ciao.
