Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 7:30 a.m. in "The City."

The sun rose into partly-cloudy and foggy skies @ 6:55 a.m., before today's high reaches 81° and the skies clear to being sunny and bright. It looks like Tuesday is our next chance for T-storms, which the NWS has forecast @ 100% in the morning. We shall see. None of that precludes me watering again today.
Baseball news yesterday was .500, or 50/50. My beloved 88 - 36, 1st place in the AL East Red Sox, took another game from the 3rd place, 62 - 61 Tampa Bay Rays last night, 5 - 2. The Sox and the Rays finish off their series later today @ 1:05 p.m. EDT.

The 51 - 73, 3rd place in the AL Central Tigers, actually won a game over the 2nd place, 58 - 64  Twins, 7 - 5. Since neither team is going anywhere but their respective couches this fall, it was a meaningless win and loss for both teams. They play again today @ 2:10 p.m. EDT.

The still, 1st place in the NL Central, 71 - 51 Cubs, once again tried to win a game with a single home-run, this one off the bat of Ben Zobrist. Sadly, while that worked for the first two games, Cubs' starting and losing pitcher, Tyler Chatwood, gave up all the runs the winning Pirates would need in a 3 - 1 victory. Chatwood cannot seem to get the ball over the plate, so I wonder where he will be playing next season. The Cubs and the Pirates finish their weekend series today @ 1:35 p.m. EDT. The Cubs have Monday off before traveling to Detroit to face the Tigers on Tuesday night.

The 62 - 62, 5th in the MWL East Caps, dropped a 2 - 4 decision to the even worse, 52 - 72, Lake County, OH Captains, 2 - 4. Those two teams play again tonight @ 7:00 p.m. EDT.

I walked to my Irish Jam Session yesterday and had a good time. About one-dozen players worked our way through many favorites, with whistles, mandolins, fiddles, and guitars.

Once Mary had finished her indexing chores for the day, we walked to the waterfront to see the art show there. We didn't buy anything, but I did take some nice pictures, going, while there, and on the way back. Of course, the way home included a stop at our favorite watering hole for a pitcher of beer.

I'm not sure on the year of this Porsche, Adam may know, but it was a beautifully restored car.

As usual, the arr fair was crowded, even at this late hour.

Tomorrow is the day that a portion of our currently one-way street becomes two-way. Mary and I give it less than six-months before it reverts to one-way status.

Adjacent to the art fair, is the Grand Haven Marina, million dollar boats were there in abundance.

Parked in front of our favorite quartering hole, was this exquisite mid-50s Ford.

No reason, I just liked the shot.

I almost forgot, this is the flower memorial to the Gold-Star families, those families who have lost a loved-one in a war, and the Blue-Star for service members currently serving.
Before we left, Mary put some pizza dough in a bowl to rise and when we returned, she chopped up many vegetables and baked a delicious dinner. I just finished cleaning up the remains of our dinner a little while ago.

As I write this, I am looking out the WW into the patchy fog that is hanging over our fair city. The fog will burn off as the day warms. In fact, the NWS has forecast a five-degree warmer day than yesterday,

I plan to water this morning and then do some grilling while Mary has to keep indexing. Other than a walk with the fur-children, I anticipate a day of rest. Ciao.
