Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just passing 1:15 a.m. in "The City."

It looks like the NWS was right. Outside the WW, the rain is falling, the lightning is flashing and the thunder is crashing. In addition, the rain and windy conditions are expected to continue throughout today and into Friday. The high temperature will be in the lower fifties.

I didn't get the remaining vegetables harvested in the vast gardens of the PE, but that will wait until Saturday.

I did hear both train runs yesterday. The southbound run took place at 10:36 a.m., and the northbound run at 1:30 p.m. I didn't see either due to an inability to rise for the former and the fact that I was across town for the latter.

We walked with the intrepid weather dog to get her pawdicure in Center Town and also to pick up some additional treats at the City Farmer in East Town. While there, we also bought a new watering can that was made in the USA.

It looks like it was a good thing we got all of our errands taken care of yesterday afternoon.

We stopped in at the Post to see Sally on our way home from those errands. Then home, where we had a light supper and watched some TV. By 8:00 p.m. I was spent, so I toddled off to bed.

Today I plan to stay in and stay out of trouble. I'll play more with the girls, read yesterday's newspaper and more of my latest novel. We did get all of the ingredients for a pumpkin pie while we were out, so I may take time to bake one today. I've already baked the pumpkins for the filling, so it shouldn't require too much additional effort.

Mary has accepted another book for indexing, so my personal reading time may be limited for a few weeks. That's okay, because this book sounds interesting.

The sun will rise on that windy and rainy day at 7:33 a.m. and set at 5:23 p.m. Our current temperature is 40° before we reach today's high of 53°. Ciao.
