Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 8:30 a.m. in "This City." The sun rose at 6:45 a.m. and will set at 5:02 p.m., after what will be a mostly clear and sunny day with a high temperature of 53°. Tomorrow, the high temperature rises to 59° with those same sunny skies in the forecast. While it will get warmer still on Thursday, the rain is forecast to come in the afternoon/evening, with a 90% chance. However, by the end of the week, we may see high temperatures in the 70s. I'm so excited, and I think I like it. Oops, I was channeling again.

Yesterday we mostly worked. We finished the index that was due and sent it on it's way after Mary got the printout that we needed. Last night, the power went out for about one hour. Darkness descended slowly over a small piece of "This City." But then, we could see the stars and planets that are always present in the sky, but which are usually obscured by the light pollution. Truly amazing!

STWD had a case of something last night. Naturally, Mary and I were worried and called the emergency veterinarian service in Pensacola. Fortunately, after some brushing, she seemed to be better, and once the power came back on, I went off to bed and the intrepid one slept quietly in the living room. Go figure.

Today, more work is on tap for the index that is due today. I'm helping as much as I can, but I'm slow and not terribly efficient as a typist nor an indexer. Oh well, I am supposed to be retired, which Mary assures me will be my normal condition again real soon.

STWD and I will take the morning walk and then I'll settle in for some additional work. Ciao.
