Good morning or geed evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 2:00 a.m. in "The City." The current temperature of 65°, will lead to an overnight low of 61° under mostly clear skies. Later today, the temperature will rise to 74 lovely degrees. Mary and I will be working today, after goofing off on Saturday afternoon. No rain is in the forecast until Tuesday.

Tonight, a total lunar eclipse will begin at 9:07 p.m., and become full at 10:11 p.m. During this super eclipse, the moon will appear up to 14% larger and due to the Earth's atmosphere, the moon will also appear to be red in color.This is an event that will not recur until 2033. If all goes according to the forecast from the NWS, the skies here in GH should be clear enough to see this rare occurrence.

Speaking of sports, which I wasn't until now, the results were mostly positive. The MSU Spartans defeated the Chippewas of Central Michigan, 30 - 10. The Wolverines of Michigan dropped the Cougars of BYU, 31- 0. Unfortunately, the NIU Huskies lost to the Boston College Eagles, 14 - 17.

Baseball was a mixed bag too, as the boys in blue lost to the Pirates, 0 - 4. Good news though, they are in the playoffs. The Tigers lost to the Twins, again, this time by a score of 2 - 6. My beloved Red Sox hammered the Orioles, 8 - 0. Later today, the 0 - 2 Bears face the Seattle Seahawks, while the 0 - 2 Lions face the Denver Broncos.

Since it was such a beautiful day yesterday, we decided to take in the Harvest Fest in Rockford, MI. We didn't buy anything nor stop in any restaurants, but the ride was worth the time. While in Rockford, I took a few pictures at the car show that was concurrent with the Harvest Fest, along with a picture of the craft fair. Here they are in no special order.

I just liked this car.

A Jeep P/U.

A relatively rare Di Tomaso.

A hot rod truck?

A vintage hearse.

Also rare, an AMC AMX.

Crowds at the craft fare.

Nearby, there is a bar called the Bow Tie Tavern, founded in 1929. Not a fancy place, but it is the kind of place we like. We have passed the Bow Tie many times over the last few years, and finally stopped just to see what it was like. Cold beer, friendly people, and terrific bar grub. What's not to like?

On the way home, we stopped in at our favorite watering hole on the other side of the bridge, Stan's, in Spring Lake . Stan's Tavern is another one of those places we like.

STWD and I took the morning walk solo yesterday while Mary slept in. She didn't know we were gone. Since I can't go to the farmer's market with Sugar, she and I dropped off a book at the library, picked up the newspaper, and dropped off a package to be returned at the UPS store before we headed home. Once here, Mary and I returned to the farmer's market for a few items. It has been a long time since I have actually been to the farmer's market, since Sugar and I have to stand across the street to avoid a dog scrum while Mary shops.

Today more highlighting, more walking with the intrepid weather dog, and not much else. I should water today, since I put it off yesterday. The sun will rise at 7:57 a.m., and then set at 7:33 p.m., which is well before that lunar eclipse. Ciao.
