Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 3:00 a.m. in "The City."

Last night I slept through high winds, drenching rain, and heavy thunder and lighting. I won't have to water but I do need to mow the lawns of the vast PE.

Saw one train around 11:50 a.m. EMD GP-38-2 locomotive #2057 was soloing on the RSTL towing CHCs, DBTs, and DWTs heading south. We were out running errands and did not witness the northbound run.

Accomplished everything we set out to do. Ginger went to daycare and came back exhausted. Sugar stayed home.

Dinner and then bed time.

Today's plans, after the morning safari with the fur-children, a few phone calls, and a chiropractor's appointment. More reading, more playing with the girls. Mary's plans, unknown.

Ciao.
