Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is shortly before 1:00 a.m. in "The City."

The weather yesterday was fabulous. Maybe not quite as warm as predicted, but still very nice, and that encouraged Mary and me to take a long walk with STWD. We passed the library just in time to see the southbound run of the Mid-Michigan Railroad as locomotives 2057 and 2019 passed through "The City."  In tow were 14 CHCs, seven DBTCs, four DWTCs, and three GTCs. Later in the afternoon, I heard that lonesome whistle blow south of "The City." The same tandem of locomotives was passing through heading north, towing one BC, eight CHCs, one DBTC, and a lone GT that was bringing up the rear. I don't anticipate any trains today.

We had to travel to the big box electronics store to get an adapter for mating my "old" monitor with my new computer. That in itself was a study in confusion, both on our part and that of the personnel at the store. We finally determined what we needed and purchased it. I am now awaiting our IT person's recuperation for the activation and final transference of the important things from my old computer to the new.

When we returned home, we saw a pile of yellow pipe fittings and orange cones in the parkway. I took nine lawn and leaf bags to the curb along with the trash and the recycling bins. A few minutes later, a truck and trailer with three workmen showed up and dropped off several sections of yellow coated pipe. I asked if I should be worried and was told that the anticipated repairs would take place on the street immediately to the west of the PE. The fittings and pipes are for a repair to the gas main on that street.

That about sums up what I didn't accomplish yesterday. I played with the girls some and read part of the non-fiction book by President Jimmy Carter entitled A Life Full of Reflections at Ninety. I have read many of his books over the years and have always enjoyed them. This appears to be another with a similar level of enjoyment.

That is about all I have to say about yesterday. The sun will rise at 7:24 a.m. this morning and set at 5:32 p.m. tonight. In between, I hope to take a walk with Mary and STWD, get my new computer up and running, read more of President Carter's book, and play with the girls. That should make for a full day. Ciao.
