Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 1:00 a.m. in "This City."

STWD is still feeling the effects of the antihistamine that she is taking for her allergies. She seems to almost be under the influence, so to speak. She does have an appointment to see her local doctor on Thursday, so we'll see what is what then.

The current temperature is 56°. We'll see 43° before we climb back to today's high of 56°. There is a 90% chance of rain this morning, so getting the intrepid one out in the morning's light will be problematical at best. Such was the case last night too. In fact, she is also reluctant to do her duty.

Elsewhere, we sat on the deck for a while yesterday afternoon and Sugar was unwilling to join us, except when a dog walked by with its human. Apparently, she can smell them, the dogs that is, for blocks, as she couldn't see nor hear their approach.

Mary and I walked to the local Holiday Inn™ for a quick afternoon snack. The rains held off and so the warm temperatures were a delight. We didn't accomplish much else, but there is always another day when you are retired.

Today, we'll attempt to accomplish something. We still have newspapers to read and I have more pages to read in the biography of Thomas Jefferson that I am now reading alone. Shared reading was proving too difficult.

We'll pick up today's newspapers if we get out this morning.

The sun is scheduled to rise at 6:42 a.m. and it will set at 5:20 p.m. Ciao.
