Good morning GH. It is just past 10:00 a.m. in "The City. I am going to make this blog extremely short, as I have to get back to work. Besides, there wasn't any time for real activities yesterday.

In trainspotting news, the southbound run for locomotive 2019 occurred at 8:50 a.m. yesterday. 2019 was moving slow as it pulled through town, towing three CHCs, two WTs, and one lone DBTC. The same locomotive passed through again, this time heading north at 1:13 p.m. Three CHCs, and only one DBTC were in tow.

In sports, the men in blue handily defeated the Cardinals, 8 - 3, to run their record to 86 - 61. However, the two teams ahead of them, the division leading Cardinals, and the second place Pirates are playing great baseball too, The Tigers eked out a win over the Royals, 5 - 4. My beloved Red Sox fell to the Blue Jays, 1 - 8. The Caps play tonight in Cedar Rapids, with their series knotted at 1 - 1. The Spartans, and the Wolverines kick off today at noon. The NIU Huskies play the Ohio State Buckeyes @ 3:30 p.m. this afternoon.

The sun rose at 7:28 a.m. and it will set this evening at 7:48 p.m.

We were supposed to go to the Irish Music Festival today, but work got in the way. I am having to work on the latest index in order to get it done. Ciao.
