Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just passing 3:30 a.m. in "The City."

Yesterday was one of those days where what you knew to be true, is no longe true. Sounds ominous, right? Actually, I'm referring to my daily trainspotting report. At 9:52 a.m. yesterday, the southbound run of locomotive 2019 rolled through town. Seven CHCs of various hues rolled through following 2019. Bringing up the rear were six of the DBTCs. That tied up traffic for about one minute. Later, 2019 passed through again, at 2:40 p.m., with one CHC and three DBTCs. That train took even less time to transition the crossing. Midday is now the new midnight I guess.

We collectively went for the morning safari with STWD and stopped off to get some bread downtown. Sugar bore up well during the trek, so the temperature was not too much for her.

Later, we visited our favorite watering hole and then stopped in at the Post to see Sally. Home, feeding time for STWD, some front porch sitting for me, accompanied by some adult beverages. Then it was time for a long spring nap. Well a bit more than a nap, but you get the idea.

I spent much of the day yesterday highlighting, but I am not yet done. I'm almost 80% finished, and I should be able to get that final part done later this morning after we get back from the farmer's market, and my run to the big box store.

Part of the afternoon was spent listening to an interview with Brian Wilson, the Beach Boy. He has a new album out that sounds promising. In addition, the new movie that chronicles a portion of his life is out now. It too sounds interesting, but it hasn't come to our area, yet. Both the movie and the album were highly lauded by the interviewer, John Fugelsang.

In sports, the boys in blue fell to the Nats, 5 - 7. The Tigers fell yet again, this time to that other team from Chicago, 3 - 4. That makes it eight straight losses for the Tigers. My beloved Red Sox got a win, 4 - 2 over the As, but one fan was seriously injured by a broken bat that flew into the stands. According to early reports, she was seriously hurt. Major League Baseball has made changes to the bats to reduce injuries from flying pieces, and that has reduced those by 50%. The Caps lost to the River Bandits, 3 - 4. This evening is the third leg of the Triple Crown. If American Pharaoh can get the victory, he will become the first Triple Crown winner since 1977, when Affirmed won the crown.

Today not much to do, and that's good. Finish highlighting, play more with the girls, and walk with STWD. The weather should be good for walking and sitting. Partly sunny, a high of 75° and that means possible time in the "Bone Zone." That's a maybe, so don't tell the intrepid one.

As noted earlier, I also have to get on my bike first thing and ride over to the big box home center and get some ant traps for indoors and out. The traps are on the list for our shopping trip on Monday, but I don't think they can wait. Apparently the cool weather has produced an abundance of ants this spring. When I emptied the dishwasher a few moments ago, they were seen in the downstairs bathroom in significant numbers (less than six), but Ewwww! They don't cause harm, but they should stay outdoors.

The sun will rise at 6:06 a.m. and set at 9:21 p.m. No rain is in the forecast until tomorrow afternoon. when there is a 60% chance of T-storms, some maybe severe. STWD will let us know. Ciao.
