Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just passing 2:00 a.m. in "The City", where the current temperature of 53° is as low as it will get this morning. Once the sun has had the chance to warm the air, we'll see a high of 75 very fall like degrees, which is very comfortable with the lower humidity.

Speaking of weather related things, the day will be partly cloudy and that is what we will see for Tuesday also. Then it is sunny skies until Friday when the chance of storms rears its head once again. But as you know, here in GH, all weather related forecasts are squishy until the moment the events actually happen, or until STWD heads for her hide-e-hole, whichever comes first.

Steph and Adam concluded their visit yesterday morning, and we had a great time. Even the intrepid weather dog seems to have accepted that they are part of her family, and didn't even bark or growl. That's progress my friends.

Yesterday afternoon, Mary and I journeyed to the Megaplex in GR, to check out the first annual VegFest. We came away with a new cheese that has a great taste, but which won't be available in stores until sometime in December. What was most fascinating were the long lines of people at the food truck to get what we assume had to be veggie burgers, veggie hot dogs, and their associated companion condiments. At every other food related booth in the VegFest, there were long lines for foods of all types, whether free or for a price. Mary got a great T-shirt that she will have to share on her blog. Let's just say that once I saw it, I had to convince her that the theme was one that appealed to her personal ethos.

In sports news, the day went badly for a lot of the teams I follow. The boys in blue fell to the Phillies, 4 - 7, while the Tigers fell to the Indians, 2 - 7 in the opening game of their double header. They won game two by a score of 9 - 2. My beloved Red Sox triumphed over the Rays, 2 - 0, and the Caps defeated the Lug Nuts, 8 - 3. Back in the loss column, the Bears lost to the Packers, 23 - 31, I guess they forgot to get off the bus running. No, Matt Forte had good stats, so it must have been that they left their passing game on the bus. The Lions lost to the Chargers, 28 - 33.

Today, Mary has to get back to work as do I. More highlighting for me, and more indexing for her. With the exception of the morning walk with STWD, that's about what my day looks like. Not all bad, as I need to have a little down time. The sun will rise this morning at 7:23 a.m. and set a little more than 12 hours later at 7:57 p.m. Ciao.
