Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 3:30 a.m. in "The City."

Most of my day yesterday was taken up with highlighting and walking in the morning. The afternoon saw us making a trip to the big box tool purveyor in Muskegon for a few things I "Needed."
We made a stop at the fabric store in Spring Lake to get some material for our Christmas tree skirt and then stopped in at our favorite watering hole over the bridge for a quick libation. Oh. I also got a new to me hacksaw for 0.95 cents at the re-purposing store. Mary and I agreed that 2016 will be the year where we only buy things that are re-purposed. Obviously, some things can't be gotten that way, but where we can, we will. All the hacksaw needs is a little cleaning and a blade and I'm set to go.

Mary was hard at work yesterday as I was highlighting, but she still found time to craft some tasty meals from items in the pantry. We stopped at the Post to check on Sally, well actually Mary checked, I listened to the radio. Sally is doing fine.

No trains yesterday. Given the current M-W-F train schedule, I should see some today.

The Lions fell to the Packers 23 - 27 on Thursday Night Football. It does look like they gave as good as they got.

I just finished highlighting another chapter for the latest index. I'm up to page 120 of 202, so that means that I'm 59% done. Mary is on the horns of a dilemma with this index, as her main contact at the publisher seems to be temporarily unable to communicate due to the weather conditions where he is located.

Otherwise, not much on tap for today. The regular morning safari with STWD and reading the newspaper. I'll do more highlighting of what has turned out to be an interesting book. I hope to stay in today after the morning walk and a short stop at Health Hutt.

The sun will rise today at 7:59 a.m. and set at 5:10 p.m.. Until the winter solstice later this month, the days will continue to be shorter and shorter. Ciao.
