Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 1:30 a.m. in "This City."

Yesterday was an interesting day. We made it to Pensacola for those errands and the ukulele jam at Blues Angel Music. With Pensacon going on, Mary had to work to find parking in the city center so that she could do the errands and go to the Palafox Market. She had to park several blocks away. That was after stops at the bread bakery and the health food co op.

I had a great time at the jam session, but prior to that, I adopted another member for my "Stringed Harem." I've decided that her name is Leilani, which depending on your desires, can be Hawaiian for Heavenly Flowers or Royal Child. Either way, the name seems to suit her.

I think she is beautiful. 

Mary says that I can't keep her and her sister, Winnie, and that I should donate Winnie to a young person who will give her the love and attention that she should have on a daily basis. I'm working on that now.

Otherwise, we made it home safely from Pensacola and watched TV and read for the balance of the day. STWD had to sniff the newest addition to our family. She seems to have found Leilani OK to stay.

In weather news, the current temperature is 62°, but it feels like 61°. Yesterday, the high reached into the 70s and the skies were sunny. According to the forecast from the NWS, the high temperature for today will be70° under cloudy skies. By tomorrow, we are supposed to begin seeing showers and then Tuesday into wednesday, T-storms are expected. However, temperatures should remain in the upper 60s until at least Thursday.

Today it is time for the annual start of the taxicab racing season at Daytona. Much like Adam, I tend to see this as a prelude to real racing when the Indycar season opens in Speedway, IN, Memorial Day weekend, with the running of the "Greatest Spectacle in Motor Car racing." I know that Adam prefers Formula One, but as long as a car has no fenders, he is good to go.

So, we'll be noshing, watching, and relaxing in the afternoon. Mary will watch some of the race, but I suspect that she'll be knitting more. That's fine, as I can do enough watching for both of us.

Otherwise, that's about it for today. The sun will rise at 6:25 a.m., and set at 5:42 p.m. Ciao.
