Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is fast closing on 2:30 a.m. in "This City." The forecast is correct, it's raining and according to that same forecast, that will continue until about 2:00 p.m. Unfortunately, STWD has her doctor's appointment at 9:00 a.m. today, when the rains are expected with a 60% chance.

The current temperature is 47°, but it feels like 40°. Naturally, we'll have cloudy skies until the rains finally stop completely at 3:00 p.m., when gray skies are gonna clear up, and the intrepid one can put on a happy face. Oops, I think Ethel Merman slipped in there for a second. That's when today's high of 57° will be reached. We are expecting clear skies and warmer temperatures for the nest few days.

Well, now you know some of our plans for today. The balance of the day will be devoted to taking a trip to Pensacola for a few things. Then home for an afternoon of nothing, my strength. I will do more reading, some contemplation, and that should round out the day nicely. I anticipate that Mary will knit a bit. A nice bit of alliteration, don't you think?  My English 101 professor, Jack Dodds, would be proud.

The sun will rise at 6:42 a.m. and set at 5:22 p.m. Ciao.
