Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just after 1:00 a.m. in "The City."

According to the NWS, the current temperature is 60° under mostly cloudy skies. My DTWS shows 62º. Light winds of 1 mph make it feel like 60°. Today's high temperature is forecast to be 75º under partly- cloudy skies. That high-temperature will be about 12º warmer than yesterday.


The NWS is forecasting a possibility for showers and T-showers this evening.

According to my DTWS, the barometric pressure is 29.39" and falling, while the NWS is reporting 30.01" and falling. Falling barometric pressure is an indicator of stormy weather. I think that my DTWS is still learning.

Gosh, did you really think I'd let a reference to stormy weather go by without a YouTube™ cut? Nah! Here's Etta James singing Stormy Weather from her album At Last recorded in 1960. Just wait for the advertisements to end, or you can skip them after a short time.

That River Flood Warning is still in effect until 8:00 a.m. next Wednesday morning!.

The sunrise today will occur @ 6:13 a.m. and the sunset will occur @ 9:10 p.m.

It is official, the annual Fourth of July Fireworks show here in GH which attracts about 100,000 people to our fair city, has been canceled. Add that to the list of previous cancelations like Coast Guard Fest, the Coast Guard Fest Craft Fair, the GH Art Fair, etc, and the local bars and restaurants along with their service people are going to take a huge hit during what is their normally busy summer season.

Mary and I just finished coloring along on YouTube™ with a young artist from California, Rachel Reinert. She is a talented colorist and artist who always inspires both Mary and me. She has several art/coloring books to her credit too. I just wish she was closer to the Eastern Time Zone so that we didn't have to say up so late to participate.

Otherwise, I made another batch of my vegan Italian meatballs yesterday which became part of our dinner. Lunch was more of Mary's newest specialty, flatbread, AKA pita bread, stuffed with cucumbers and Extraordinary beest, slathered in sauce. I liked using the word slathered, as it has such a great feel to the word itself.

We never took the seedlings out for the day since it was cool and cloudy. I think today's weather should be ore conducive to their health and well-being, as long as we get them back to their home in the bathroom downstairs before that happens, although we did take the fur-children for a short walk. 

We made up for the internet outage on Thursday and watched two episodes of Outlander yesterday.

Sunday's high temperature is supposed to drop into the lower 60s once again with a 20% possibility of a stray shower or T-shower. After that, we should be good to go, albeit with high-temperatures in the 60s and lower 70s.

Today, not much will be happening. We'll unbox more of our recent shipments and that's about it. Ciao.
